Less than a week after Kate Middleton married Britain's Prince William in what was an admittedly stunning Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen gown, knock-off versions of the dress are already hitting stores.Kleinfeld Bridal Salon -- the wedding dress mecca featured in TLC's "Say Yes to the Dress" -- debuted their in-house take on Middleton's dress on Tuesday's (May 3) "Good Morning America." It isn't an exact copy, but the designers did stick close to the aesthetic with simple lines and an understated lace bodice. The Kleinfeld's version will retail for approximately $3,500 -- far less than the estimated $65,000 pricetag on Middleton's original.
Another version is already available for pre-order at Nordstrom. The JS Collection "Duchess" dress mimics Middleton's dress, but also comes with at a budget-conscious price of $698.
U.K. online retailer i-want-that-dress.com has versions of both of Kate's wedding day dresses available for approximately $576 apiece, along with a copy of Pippa Middleton's bridesmaid dress for $295.
Knockoff master ABS by Allen Schwartz also produced a copy of Middleton's dress, but will auction it off for charity. Though, Schwartz tells Entertainment Tonight, he thinks he could mass produce a version that would retail for somewhere between $400 - $800.

The Douche and Douchess! While England and the world are in a financial mess the whole country and world watches them spend a ridiculous amount of money for their stupid wedding. Instead of watching these 2 nobody's, get off your *** and do something creative!
^ jealousy raises its ugly head.
Very similiar, but Princess Kate looked a lot more beautiful in it..the dress is hers. It also fit her better and she had the exact body and waist to pull it off.
I thought British people were smarter than this. They follow the lives of the most useless people in the plane: Their monarchs. This is just sad. People, please get a life. There are more important things to worry about in the world.
Congratulations!!! people are to jealous . They give themselves bad karma. I happy for the prince and princess.
Kate's dress was beautiful and she looked stunning in it, but I don't think I would want another bride's look, not even Kate's. I still think that price tag was outrageous for such a simple looking bridal gown. I'm sure the price tag was so high because they knew he had a hefty purse and still I've seen American Bride's with prettier dresses than that, Diana is still real story book Princess. Kate don't try to fill such big shoes. I do hope you have a wonderful marriage.
I still don't think William and Kate's Wedding was covered by the News Media quite like Charles and Dianna's. Dianna's was a fairy tale wedding to bad Charles didn't know how to appreciate a good woman.
