The ‘Pippa’ Bridesmaid Dress

THAT dress – or at least a carefully cloned copy – is coming to a Debenhams near you.

The high street department store has cashed in on the craze for Pippa Middleton’s bridesmaid dress (and derriere) which was reported to have cost around £20,000. The dress, not the bottom.

The Pippa DressDebenhams’ limited edition 'Pippa' gown, which features the same slinky cowl neck, button-back detail and elegant cap sleeves is due in stores later this year, priced £170.

The demand has already been huge for the replica dress and there’s a dedicated ‘lady in waiting’ list now in place to allow customers to reserve the departments store’s homage to Ms Middleton’s iconic, figure-hugging bridesmaid gown.

And if that’s not enough for you, Debenhams will also be selling a version of the emerald green evening gown by Temperley London that Kate’s sister wore to the evening do. The Debenhams version will be £99.

Alain Mehada, Chief Personal Shopper, Debenhams Oxford Street added: “Both men and women everywhere were instantly talking about Pippa, so naturally brides-to-be will want to emulate her classic look – both for themselves or their bridesmaids.

“We have been inundated by customers asking if we have anything similar to the dresses worn by Kate, Pippa and the flower girls, but the ivory dress worn by Pippa is the most requested by far.”
