If you loved Kate Middletons wedding dress but youve not got her £250,000 budget for it, this might just make your day.

High-street store H&M have only gone and released a thrifty version of her royal wedding gown worn for her nuptials to Prince William back on on 29 April 2011.

Their version features the same lace long sleeves, a plunging V-neck and an A-line skirt packed with bridal elegance.

And you can snap it up for the bargain price of $299 (£212).

It doesnt come with Kates 9ft train, however, but at just over £200, who cares about that?

Alexander McQueens creative director Sarah Burton was the brains behind Kates elegant – and stunning – lace bridal gown for her wedding to Prince William.

For months speculation was rife on who would be the designer and Sarah had kept a stealthy silence on the matter.

So it was only natural that everyone was clamoring for the first glimpse of Kate in her dress – even it it was shielded in part by the screens at The Goring.

As Kate finally emerged outside Westminster Abbey – with the entire world seeing her dress on TV screens before her husband-to-be had – it was confirmed that Burton was in fact the designer.

She was even on hand to neaten the train – which was 9ft long – on the day and ensure every inch of the dress looked perfect as Kate made her way down the aisle.

It later emerged that Kate and Sarah had been having secret meetings at Hampton Court Palace to discuss the dress – the location chosen due to its proximity to The Royal School Of Needlework, who created the lace for the gown.

It was so hush-hush that staff there were told that the lace they were creating was actually for a period drama.
