Issa Wrapped Wasit Dress AKA Kate Middleton's Engagement Dress

Look what I found this morning on twitter! It's Kate Middleton's engagement dress which is available again on
MyTheresa.com. Before Kate wore this dress I had never heard of Issa and I'm pretty sure most people in North America hadn't either. I probably wouldn't have looked at this dress twice if it hadn't been worn at such a publicized event by a now very famous pseudo princess. (And she looked pretty darn good in it.) I don't have an extra $589 lying around but if I did I'd probably be tempted to by it. It is a simple and chic dress that would work for day or evening. (I'd like to promise you guys that the Kate posts will stop at some point but....I can't stop myself!)



What do you think?

You can buy it through MyTheresa.com for $589

drollgirl said...

she looks great in it! classic and simple. conservative enough that she doesn't get in trouble with the old fogies, and not too stodgy so that she bores the young ones. win/win!

If I had the change I would buy it too...a girl can dream.

Issa is the go-to brand for London ladies who lunch - the silk dresses are quite wonderful; bit out of my budget zone sadly.

A beautiful classic dress for sure, but I don't know about $600 for it. A bit too price-y for me! xo style, she wrote

I love the dress, but I don't think I'd ever buy it since it's so recognizable now. That and I can't afford it... :)
