Shop The Look: Pippa Middleton's Wedding Dress

After The Duchess of Cambridge's wedding to Prince William in 2011, her dress style and silhouette–which at the time was deemed conservative, super-traditional and incredibly elegant in comparison to what was available on the modern market–became an instant success. Designers riffed on it almost to the point of creating replicas, without ever truly being able to achieve the subtlety and the intricacy of detail that Sarah Burton's deft hand could muster. As expected, Pippa's equally elegant gown by Giles Deacon in all-over bespoke lace with cap-sleeves, an A-line skirt and pearl embroidery will likely cause the same consumer commotion, with modern brides looking to get a piece of the classic perfection she embodied on her walk down the aisle. Well, unlike 2011, when classicism in bridal was on the decline, the betrothed after a Pippa look are in luck. Here, 10 ways to shop, wear and achieve Pippa's wedding day style, from literal iterations to riffs on her silhouette.

You could just go straight to the source. Deacon's business has gone from a ready-to-wear house with bespoke options to a purely made-to-order atelier, where you can create something custom with the designer and his team based off his core silhouettes. Odds are, Deacon will never replicate his work for Middleton, but tapping the man who managed to achieve the look you love seems like a good idea.

An all-lace gown with an off-shoulder neckline and three-quarter sleeve rather than a high neckline and a cap-sleeve would also achieve the overall classic yet modern feel that PIppa's gown did so effortlessly. Legends by Romona Keveza gown, legendsromonakeveza.com

Peter Langner's tailoring expertise and understanding of classic silhouettes make him the perfect candidate to deliver the type of traditional feel brides loving Pippa's look are after. This silhouette from his Spring 2017 collection, while a bit lighter in the skirt and more embroidered in the bodice, feels spot on. Peter Langner "Belle" gown, price upon request, peterlangner.com

Mrs. Herrera has long been a go-to for classic silhouettes imbued with elements of mystery and grace. This fit and flare style from her Fall 2017 range is a more fitted, slim version of Pippa's look with some extra coverage to balance out its body-con feel. Given Pippa's bodycon look at her sister's wedding, we would have guessed that she'd choose something in this vein for her wedding to James Matthews–and in many ways, she did.

One of Vera Wang's best-selling looks bears similarities to Pippa's wedding gown as well. Esther, which Ivanka Trump actually wore down the aisle in a customized version for her wedding to Jared Kushner, now feels like a bridal staple due to its timeless, classic feel. It's removable topper seamlessly incorporates into the gown's style, and its more sheer qualities and Chantilly details give the gown a lighter feel than Pippa's cotton, crochet bespoke lace. Consider this option if you like the look of Pippa's, but are looking for something with a little less heft. Vera Wang Bride "Esther," gown, price upon request, verawang.com

Vera Wang is arguably the inventor of modern-day American wedding dressing, and this silhouette is possibly the closest to Pippa's Deacon creation already out there. Wang is carried in the United Kingdom by Brown's Bride, the country's top bridal boutique, which Pippa likely visited in her search for the perfect look prior to opting for something custom. Considering this gown was on the market and readily available for try-ons, we might dare to say that a fitting of this dress inspired the bodice and neckline she wore down the aisle.
