The dress worn by Kate Middleton in official photographs is back on sale after a surge in demand from customers.
Middleton wore the 'Nanette' dress, by British designer Reiss, for a photo shoot with Mario Testino in November to mark her engagement to Prince William.
Reiss withdrew the dress for their autumn/winter collection but announced in January that it would be available in shops once more.
Lyndon Mackenzie, the general manager of the Reiss shop in Soho, New York, said the dress had been remade in a lighter fabric since Middleton bought hers, but that the style was the same.
He said: "What I think it really means is that she wants her dress code to be attainable to everybody and that people can look at her, and admire, and go after that look as well."
Middleton purchased the dress at the designer's London store last year and Mackenzie said he hoped she might even consider going back to the shop to buy her wedding dress.
"We definitely hope that she will be choosing Reiss, but we'll wait and see. I just believe that it's going to be something very timeless and classic and very sophisticated, just like what's she worn for her engagement," he said.
