Every bride looking for a princess wedding won’t have long to wait until they can look just like the newest royal.
The moment Kate Middleton arrives at Westminster Abby a Kiwi designer will be analysing every broadcast image and begin a mad-scramble to recreate the dress.
New Zealand bridal wear designer Jane Yeh and a team of seamstresses will be working through the night to re-create the new princess’s highly anticipated wedding gown.
After just 12 hours of the bride making her first public appearance in the gown, the replica will be unveiled at Farmers St Lukes in Auckland, modelled by a Kate Middleton look-a-like.
After that a New Zealand bride will also be walking down the aisle in their own replica, with the New Zealand Woman’s Weekly giving away the Jane Yeh gown.
And Ms Leh will not be alone.
Designers from around the world are planning to work as quickly as possible to knock off the famous dress for sales to the masses.
Head designer of the Garment District dressmaker Faviana, Shala Moradi will be working frantically to get their version of the gown to stores within weeks.
"I don't get nervous. But it's a little bit of pressure with the timing," Ms Moradi told the New York Post.
The American designer has created spinoffs of must-have dresses everywhere, from the Oscars to Chelsea Clinton's wedding.
But the demand and the rush for a Middleton lookalike gown beats anything in recent history.
"This is going to exceed by far any order that we've done.”
Their version will likely cost less than $2,000 and will be sold online and in department stores.
