A ROYAL CONNECTION

When the Duchess of Cambridge announced her engagement wearing a blue wrap by Issa, it was dubbed ‘the image that sold a thousand dresses’. Maybe ‘a million dresses’ would be more accurate. And now, after a successful takeover bid, the label (once the preserve of the rich and famous) is available at House of Fraser. Better still, all styles are under £200. So if you still want to get your hands on a Kate-style dress, or are just after a party piece, look no further. houseoffraser.co.uk.
