While the main focus of royal wedding replicas have been on Kate's spectacular bridal gown, let's not forget that there was a certain second McQueen dress to also gain quite a lot of attention that day...

The sight of Pippa Middleton sashaying down the aisle in her elegant white column gown, instantly propelled her from just being 'Kate Middleton's sister' to becoming a world-watched style icon in her own right.

So it was only a matter of time before copies of that dress hit the high street.

Debenhams has just launched the limited edition Pippa gown, which features the same elegant cowl neck, cap sleeves and button-up back - and due to unprecedented levels of demand from customers, has already had to put in place a 'lady-in-waiting list.'

Naturally, while the real deal cost a reported £20,000 the high street copy cat will be available at a far more affordable £170.

And that's not all. Not only did the department store go one step further by also copying the flower girl dresses from the royal wedding (retailing at £48 - £52), but they've also recreated Pippa's emerald Temperley London reception dress (available for just £99).
