- Meghan Markle wore a Victoria Beckham $2,570 couture gown in March 2019
- The dress, which looks like it has a chain print on it, instantly sold out online
- Now Big W Australia has released a $35 pleated ensemble that looks identical
- It's still available online and in store in sizes six to 16; but you'll have to be quick
A near identical garment to the $2,570 Victoria Beckham printed dress worn by the Duchess of Sussex earlier this year is being sold in Big W Australia stores.
The gown, which is called the '&Me Women's Pleated Print Dress', is available in sizes six to 16 for a mere $35 and there is still plenty of stock available.
When Meghan Markle wore a designer version of the dress to the Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey in March 2019 it immediately caused a flurry of sales online.
Since then it has sold out.

It was worn again by fashion designer Victoria Beckham herself in June with velvet pink stilettos, causing many to look for it again, only to be left disappointed.
Despite the $2,570 outfit being unavailable worldwide Australians can now secure a very similar chain-link design at budget retailer Big W.
It's described as 'a pleated design, a chain print and a removable waist tie' which is 'perfect for any special occasion'.

Even though it is black and gold, rather than white like Victoria Beckham's, it has the same desired effect on the shopper.
The midi length is demure enough that it can be worn to work or it can be dressed up with a pair of heels for an elegant evening out.
