On 16th November 2010 William and Kate announced they were engaged to marry. Kate wore a blue Issa dress for the official announcement, which is now world famous.
The engagement dress quickly sold out online and in stores as “copy Kates” wanted the now iconic piece for themselves. I originally posted this blog back in August after finding the dress on sale again on both the Selfridges and myTheresa websites. However, within weeks, both stores sold out too. As this post is still attracting lots of visitors looking to get Kate’s blue Issa engagement dress, I’m going to try and keep it up-to-date….
You’re in luck! Kate’s engagement dress is currently available:

Kate and William’s Engagement Announcement:
Relive the nostalgia with this 17 minute long video of Will and Kate discussing their engagement, plus you get to hear Kate speak!
The one on MyTheresa is sold out already
Yeah it sold out again after an hour of me posting it. I will take it down later
another option for the Issa engagement dress can be found at chadwicks.com. the sleeves are 3/4 length and is slightly longer than knee length (but can be hemmed), but it is a wonderful shade of blue, and for budget-conscious shoppers, the price ($49.99) can’t be beat!
