But there's a catch

It's a little controversial, I know, but even though I thought Meghan Markle's Givenchy wedding dress was unbelievably chic and timeless, I think I preferred her second wedding dress by Stella McCartney.

There was just something about the flattering halterneck and the way the fabric flowed that was pure understated Hollywood glamour.

And if you agree with me, then I have some excellent news for you: you will soon be able to buy the exact replica of her evening gown, courtesy of Ms McCartney herself.

The designer has announced that she will be creating a limited edition collection, Made With Love, offering a select number of clients the opportunity to buy their own version of the custom design.

I say select, as there will only be 46 gowns in total, 23 in white and 23 in black, to celebrate the opening of the designer's new flagship store at 23 Bond Street.

Although the gowns will be made from sustainable viscose rather than silk crepe like the Duchess of Sussex's, they promise to be just as glamorous. And at a price tag of £3,500 each, they will be a tad more affordable too (see how much her actual wedding dress cost here).

So, how will you be able to get your hands on the sartorial golden ticket? Well this is where it gets tricky. You will need to email 23oldbond.store@stellamccartney.com and be lucky enough to receive a personal invitation to view the gowns in the new shop.

And if you're out of luck, don't worry, Stella McCartney is planning an extended bridal collection for 2019. Oh to get married again...
