The Actual Cost of the Royals' Most Famous Wedding Gowns

Low-key Zara chose a minimal dress for her wedding to Mike Tindall. The ivory gown was made of silk faille and silk duchesse satin, and created by royal couturier Stuart Parvin. The structured bodice featured an empire waist detail leading into chevron pleats, while the bell-shaped skirt was finished with a contrasting band at the hemline. A row of covered buttons ran the length of the dress at the back, and the skirt featured pockets.
