The focus of the dress is the graphic open bateau neckline that gracefully frames the shoulders and emphasizes the slender sculpted waist,” the label explained. Givenchy added, “The lines of the dress extend towards the back where the train flows in soft round folds cushioned by an underskirt in triple silk organza. The slim three-quarter sleeves add a note of refined modernity.” RELATED VIDEO: Harry and Meghan’s Love Story As for the veil, Waight Keller designed a romantic cathedral-length style “representing the distinctive flora of each Commonwealth country united in one spectacular floral composition” – in addition to one special flower embroidered into the veil, a California poppy to represent Meghan’s home state. And last but certainly not least, Meghan’s wedding shoes were “based on a Givenchy refined pointed couture design made of a silk duchess satin.” Before the May 19 wedding in England, Waight Keller attended the Met Gala in New York City with actress Rooney Mara.
