The dress is from the Resort 2018 collection; it is made in lightweight wool with angled panels, a handkerchief waterfall at the side and exposed back zipper.
It is available in limited sizes at Farfetch ($2165), and in sizes 8 and 16 at Roland Mouret ($2165).
1:40 PM EDT – Serena Williams, Alexis Ohanian and bay Olympia have arrived at Heathrow; it looks like they will be able to make the wedding after all. Serena, a good friend of Meghan’s was concerned a Grand Slam tournament would prevent her being able to attend.
1:30 PM EDT– More from The Telegraph on how tomorrow’s walk down the aisle will work:
At the Quire, which effectively marks the second half of the aisle, Ms Markle will be met by the Prince of Wales, her future father-in-law, who will take her arm for the final steps. The ceremony will omit the traditional moment of “giving away”, where the presiding Archbishop asks: “Who giveth this woman to be married to this man?”
Ms Markle is understood to have asked the Prince of Wales to accompany her after her father, Thomas Markle, told her he was unable to fly to the UK.
