Dress Like a Princess, Minus the Perks x ISSA

The Royal Engagement of Prince William and Kate Middleton was announced two weeks ago and there are already plenty of memorabilia pieces you can buy. I mean, who wouldn’t want a mug or a plate with Wills and Kate’s photos on them? I know I would (n’t). For those of us who would really like to commemorate this engagement with a little more style than a souvenir shot glass, I bring you the blue Issa jersey wrap dress Kate wore to the official announcement.

Though the dress immediately sold out on Net-a-Porter, more stock is coming soon. So just think, every time you wear the dress it will go a little something like this: “Wow, what a beautiful dress. It looks familiar!” “Oh this ole thing? Thanks. It probably looks familiar because Princess Kate wore it to announce her engagement. Since I am not able to be a bridesmaid in her wedding, and I did help introduce her and Wills after I turned him down, she gave me this dress.” True story, folks.
