The Gisele dress is very similar to Kate Middleton’s blue wrap ISSA dressed but is priced at £99 or $175.00.

If you loved the Duchess of Cambridge’s  (aka Kate Middleton) sapphire blue wrap ISSA engagement dress, then you’ll want to click on over to UK retailer Monsoon’s website.  Daniella Helayel, formerly creative director at the ISSA label,  has unveiled her first exclusive collection for Monsoon and many of the dresses are similar to the gorgeous ISSA wrap dresses worn by both Kate and Piper Middleton.

One of our favorites from the Monsoon collection, the Anna Beatriz maxi dress printed with an all-over graphic motif.

The full collection just went on sale and the blue Gisele dress is already sold out online, but it is available in pink.  The 15 piece Daniella Helayel Monsoon collection Daniella Helayel x Monsoon, is priced from £89-149 or from $116.00 to $195 USD.   Since an ISSA dress typically retails for over $500 US, that’s a big discount on similar styles. There’s plenty to love about the Daniella Helayel Monsoon capsule collection, from the luxurious fabrics like silk chiffon, satin crepe and luxe jersey to the classic designs.

 

KATE ISSA

Banana Republic’s ISSA collection featured a reproduction of the famous ISSA dress worn by Kate Middleton.

The blue wrap ISSA dress continues to sell out six years after Kate Middleton wore it in 2010.  Banana Republic sold a version of it in 2013.  The dress is clearly a classic.

Monsoon ships to North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Asia, so the affordable Daniella Helayel x Monsoon collection is available virtually worldwide.
