Earlier this week, the Duchess of Sussex caused Karen Gee's website to crash when she wore one of the designer's dresses. And now, another Australian designer has also experienced the Meghan Markle effect, thanks to a chic navy dress that the royal selected for her flawless tour wardrobe.

Stepping out in Melbourne, Australia wearing the chic navy Folded Sail dress, the Duchess likely had little idea just how much her fashion choice would impact upon Dion Lee's business. Meghan's look is from the brand's pre-fall collection, and consists of an asymmetrical design, with a ruffle at the skirt, and a striking folded collar.
Journalist Melissa Singer shared a statement from designer Dion Lee on Twitter. Lee said, "It's a whole other level [of attention]. I can't say our website has ever crashed as a result of anyone wearing our clothes." Meanwhile, Meghan's navy dress was apparently "based on a previous dress of ours that she really liked."
