A British Designer Says Meghan Markle’s Royal Wedding Dress is a RIPOFF of Her Design

The Royal Wedding Dress is a COPY according to a British designer. That’s right. THAT Royal dress.

A COPY.

British designer Emilia Wickstead told The Daily Mail, “Her dress is identical to one of our dresses.”

The dress in question is part of Wickstead’s new bridal collection.

She posted a picture of the Helene Wedding Dress on Instagram (which she says is the dress Givenchy designer Claire Wright Keller copied) the day AFTER the Royal Wedding.

She tagged Markle in her post, using #meghanmarkle and #meghanmarkleweddingdress.

The comments in response to the post were scathing, accusing Wickstead of being mean spirited, classless and petty.

To make this story even stranger, Wickstead also commented on Markle’s hair saying, “I was like, ‘Hold the wisps [of her hair] back–it’s a royal wedding for God’s sake.”

But it didn’t stop there. She chimed in on the design too. “If you choose a simple design the fit should be perfect. Her wedding dress was quite loose.”

I’m no designer, but the dress Wickstead is referring to (the one she created) doesn’t fit the model perfectly. The top is loose and her breasts look weird. Markle’s wedding dress fit perfectly and was modern, timeless and oh so elegant.

If Wickstead was looking for a little press, she has it. But at what price? Both Markle and Kate Middleton have worn her designs before.

But now? I wouldn’t count on it.

I think Wickstead might need to add another hashtag to her Instagram: #notallpressisgoodpress.

The Royal Wedding Dress by the Numbers:

3900: How many hours it took to create and design

165: How many days it took to make

50: That’s how many people worked on the dress (and signed non-disclosure agreements)

6: Total number of meticulously placed seams in the sleek design

Dress Design:

Givenchy

Custom made couture by Claire Wright Keller, the first female designer to ever hold the role of Artistic Director of the storied French fashion house.

Keller is a British designer who previously held the same position at Chloe, another French fashion design house.

The custom creation had three-quarter length sleeves, a bateau neckline and a train cushioned by triple silk organza.

Pure perfection.
