Kate Middleton’s iconic engagement dress has been re-stocked

It may be almost eight years since Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton and Prince William’s engagement announcement, but there’s one thing people just can’t forget.

The princess-in-waiting's iconic Issa London silk-jersey blue wrap dress, of course.

The $1,360 dress quickly became a worldwide sensation and sold out in the 42 countries it was available in, less than 24 hours the now princess wore it. In fact, the dress proved so popular that it sent the UK-based label out of business, unable to keep up with the demands.  

But for those women who have been lusting after it ever since you first laid eyes on it, you’re in luck.

Following Issa's relaunch in 2015 in House of Fraser, the dress – renamed 'The Kate Tie Wrap Dress'  - is back.

This time, it’s available in emerald green, yellow, orange, lime and array or prints, with a more affordable price-tag of $176.

While the emerald green hue is available now, you’ll have to wait until the end of March for the remaining colours to drop.
