Unfortunately you always seem to be the bridesmaid and never the bride, at least you can do it in style with a Pippa Middleton inspired bridesmaid dress. Pippa has climbed to a great level of fame since she appeared in that gorgeous Alexander McQueen dress at her sister Kate’s wedding and now the general public can get a little piece of Pippa with a new limited edition dress that has just been released.
Popular UK department store Debenhams has announced that they will be selling the limited edition range of dresses later this year after being inundated by demands from customers and the demand for these dresses is so great that a ‘lady in waiting’ type list has been created to allow customers to reserve the departments store’s homage to Pippa Middleton’s iconic figure-hugging bridesmaid gown, which reportedly cost £20,000. Luckily for us, the high-street version of Pippa’s dress will set us back just £170. What a bargain.
After being "inundated" by customers wanting a similar dress to that of Pippa's, high street retailer Debenhams has produced a £170 version which will go on sale later this year.

Featuring a cowl neck and button-detail at the back, the dress accurately emulates Middleton's bespoke creation.
"The ivory dress worn by Pippa is the most requested by far," said Alain Mehada, chief personal shopper at the Debenhams Oxford Street store.
"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."
The store has also created a version of the green, floor-length gown by Alice Temperley which Pippa wore to Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge's evening reception.
"We have taken the best of the dresses and added our designer twist. Now you can get the Middletons' look at high street prices," said Russell Fish, head of occasionwear design at Debenhams.
Fans of what the child bridesmaids wore to the wedding will no doubt be delighted to learn that a flower girl dress will sit alongside the copy of Pippa's gown. Priced between £48 and £52 (depending on age) the dress features a delicate lace trim, puff sleeves and a pale gold sash bow.
Those keen to get their hands on the wedding copies are invited to join the 'lady-in-waiting list' by emailing their details to ladyinwaitinglist@debenhams.com, to receive updates about availabilty.
