Cinderella and Prince Charming, Beauty and the Beast, Jasmine and Aladdin, Kate Middleton and Prince William; all icons for young ladies. Little girls around the world dream of being a Princess, idolizing and dressing up as their favorite Disney Princess character.
As they grow older, these young girls begin to envision the most perfect wedding day with the most perfect man similar to their favorite fairytale. Kate Middleton is the prime example of a young girl’s dream, with her soon to be Prince and her wedding day approaching. For Kate, there are no evil stepsisters, no talking kitchen utensils, no magic carpet. Instead, the media has a 24-hour watch and critique on her looks and just about every move she makes.
As this fairytale wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton is a mere three months away, the soon-to-be princess has been and will continue to be one of the main paparazzi targets throughout this year. With billions of people around the world’s eyes on her, Kate must not only play the part as Princess, she must coordinate her appearance to the title. As her fashion sense has been closely watched, her stylish choices have been heavily compared to fashion icon and her fiancé’s “mum,” the late Princess Dianna. Captured in elegant, timeless, royalty-worthy apparel, Kate’s wardrobe is nothing less than, well, perfect.
With critics closely watching her stylistic choices, Kate’s wedding gown selection for the Royal wedding at Westminster Abbey has fashionistas worldwide holding their breath, waiting impatiently for the big day, April 29.
However, for now, a small gasp of air can be exhaled because it is certain that the stunning cream colored dress photographed in the couple’s official royal engagement announcement is a Reiss design. Good news ladies; this simply elegant design could be yours, too.
Finally girls, the time has come. Toss away those nostalgic polyester Disney costumes replicating your favorite fairytale, and slip into a wardrobe piece fit for an actual Princess. The Nannette Zip Frill Dress is now featured on Reissonline.com. The elegant cream colored frock is available to women around the world, for £159 which is approximately $250. Reissonline describes the dress as “the epitome of modern elegance. It has 3/4 sleeves, an asymmetric draped neck line, paneled waist band, side pockets and an overlay on the front skirt. Nannette’s most beautiful feature is the cascading frill alongside the exposed zip that fastens the dress at the front”. For us common folk, this dress is perfect for the upcoming spring season. It is stunning yet demure, light and flirty and would be an extraordinary addition to any girl’s closet.
Who knows, once you slip into this Reiss ensemble your own fairytale may be in order. Throw on a pair of glass slippers and Prince Charming may be around the corner.
Remember when ordering your Nannette Zip Frill Dress, as Reissonline is a British-based website, convert your dress size to UK dress size. Do this by adding two dress sizes to your US dress size.
