Stella McCartney has revealed that fans can now buy replicas of the iconic dress worn by the Duchess of Sussex at her wedding reception, which featured a high-neck and low-back design.

The British design house has released a 23-piece capsule collection of lily-white replicas of the original gown worn by Meghan Markle; the collection also features an onyx-black version.

Speaking to British Vogue, McCartney explained she knew the dress would be highly sought-after by fans and her decision to design replicas was spurred by a desire to make the Duchess' style accessible to loyal followers of the brand.

Named the “Made in Love” gowns, each is made from a sustainable viscose material in line with the brand’s environmentally-friendly ethos.

Priced at £3,500, the dresses are only available for purchase via private appointment and prospective clients must email 23oldbond.store@stellamccartney.com to request a preview.

The gowns will be sold for one week only at the label’s new Bond Street Store from June 13.

Though the designer admits she “feels weird” talking about the Duchess’ gown in detail, she described it as a “real privilege” and a “compliment” to be chosen to design her gown for the reception at Frogmore Hall.

“It was her second wedding dress, and it was her moment,” she told Vogue.co.uk.

“I felt that the dress represented her, it was a little whiff of her spirit. I love that."

The designer opened her new Old Bond Street store earlier this week at a glamorous launch party with Kylie Minogue and Kate Moss in attendance.

The shop had been touted as the most sustainable store in London, enlisting the help of clean air experts Airlabs to ensure the air circulating the store is as pure as possible.
