Debenhams Create Demand For Pippa Middleton's Dress

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Update-Mass market London retailer, Debenhams, has created quite the demand for Pippa Middleton‘s maid-of-honor dress.There is just something about Pippa….   The sister to now British royal Kate Middleton, made her debut at Kate’s wedding and has transfixed the media ever since. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were forced to take a back seat to the frenzy that became known as “Her Royal Hotness.”

Pippa Middleton stunned fellow royals and onlookers with her form-fitting dress made by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen during her sisters wedding. And now Debenhams wants to you have the replica all for just $280. To further increase the madness around Pippa and increase demand on her dress, TLC has produced a document that promises to discuss the intimate relationship between Pippa and Prince Harry and just why she’s become a celebrity.

Back to Pippa’s dress, a representative for the Debenhams tells the Daily Mail, “We have been inundated by customers asking if we have anything similar to the dresses worn by Kate, Pippa and the flower girls, but the ivory dress worn by Pippa is the most requested by far.’ The replica will be available later this year but the mail-in orders are already coming in!

Do you get the hype around Pippa Middleton? Did you watch TLC’s “Crazy About Pippa”?

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
