The wedding dress
Meghan Markle enlisted Artistic Director Clare Waight Keller of Givenchy in January to design the highly anticipated wedding gown. “We wanted to create a timeless piece that would emphasise the iconic codes of Givenchy throughout its history, as well as convey modernity through sleek lines and sharp cuts,” explained Clare. The collaboration yielded an open bateau neckline, accentuated a sculpted waistline, and incorporated a touch of modernity with three-quarter sleeves. The 5-metre silk tulle veil was sewn with 53-commonwealth flora, that floated over a train with soft round folds.
