Description

For her wedding day, Meghan Markle chose a dress by Clare Waight Keller, the Artistic Director for Givenchy. And what a dress.

We were as surprised as anyone to see Meghan step out of the car in a dress by British designer for a French fashion house, Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy, but the cut and lines of the dress were exactly what we expected to see from Meghan.

Here is what was included in Kensington Palace’s Press Release about the dress:

Ms. Meghan Markle’s wedding dress has been designed by the acclaimed British designer, Clare Waight Keller. Ms. Waight Keller last year became the first female Artistic Director at the historic French fashion house Givenchy. After meeting Ms. Waight Keller in early 2018, Ms. Markle chose to work with her for her timeless and elegant aesthetic, impeccable tailoring, and relaxed demeanour. Ms. Markle also wanted to highlight the success of a leading British talent who has now served as the creative head of three globally influential fashion houses – Pringle of Scotland, Chloé, and now Givenchy. Ms. Markle and Ms. Waight Keller worked closely together on the design. The dress epitomises a timeless minimal elegance referencing the codes of the iconic House of Givenchy and showcasing the expert craftsmanship of its world-renowned Parisian couture atelier founded in 1952.


Meghan’s wedding dress was sculpted using six meticulously placed seams. From the Kensington Palace Press release:

“The focus of the dress is the graphic open bateau neckline that gracefully frames the shoulders and emphasises the slender sculpted waist. The lines of the dress extend towards the back where the train flows in soft round folds cushioned by an underskirt in triple silk organza. The slim three-quarter sleeves add a note of refined modernity.”

The dress is made of double bonded silk cady that was exclusively developed for the dress. The designer shared that the material is:

“Perfect for the round sculptural look required, the silk cady has a soft matt lustre whilst the bonding process and pure white colour chosen by Ms. Markle and Ms. Waight Keller bring a fresh modernity to the dress.”
