On the left is the promo shot of the Oscar de la Renta dress. On the right, is the Duchess of Sussex wearing it. Note that in the promotional photo it is shown as a drop waist dress, but Meghan is wearing it in a blouson style. Looks like she picked a drop waist dress that is too long for her to wear as drop waist (looks like the hem might drag if she did), so she’s wearing it blouson style, which is not flattering. Makes the dress look like it is swamping her.
Just looked at the links for the dress (Moda Operandi’s site and Vogue’s slideshow of the collection) and realized that this is a 2019 Resort dress! In other words, won’t be available for purchase until the fall. How common is this for royals to do this? I’m trying to think of a similar situation. This is common with celebrities for them to borrow and wear the sample, but royals??
Good catch @motherofbulldogs!!
Moda Operandi literally says “Expected to ship Oct 9, 2018 to Mar 14, 2019″.
