Princess Eugenie made a statement of her own in the royal family's iconic bridal gown legacy with her first royal wedding dress. Eugenie chose a Peter Pilotto V-neck dress with an open back.

On the fabric, designers Peter Pilotto and Christopher de Vos wove in a couple symbols that meant a lot to Eugenie and Brooksbank, the Palace detailed (opens in new tab). The thistle for Scotland, the shamrock for Ireland in honor of the bride's Ferguson family, and the York rose and ivy represent the couple's homeland," the Palace wrote. The dress was reinterpreted "in a jacquard weave of silk, cotton, and viscose blend, in a garland of rope-like motifs," Palace wrote. The dress featured an elegant, long train that adorned the back of the dress. Unlike other royal brides, Eugenie chose not to wear a veil.

Her dress stands out in comparison to those of Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton, and Princess Diana. Here are their dresses for comparison.

Meghan chose a Givenchy gown with a bateau neckline this spring. She chose a dress with long sleeves and no lace:

At her wedding to Prince William in April 2011, Kate wore an Alexander McQueen gown. It was lacy and flattering to her figure.

Princess Diana, meanwhile, wore an Alexander McQueen gown embroidered with lace, sequins, and pearls.

Incidentally, in terms of the fit of the dresses, neither loose nor tight dresses violated protocol, as Myka Meier (opens in new tab), founder and director of Beaumont Etiquette (opens in new tab) and an Anglo-American trained by the former queen consort, said. Meier (opens in new tab), founder and director of Beaumont Etiquette (opens in new tab) and an Anglo-American trained by the former Queen's wife, previously told ELLE.com (opens in new tab). 'At the end of the day, it was simply a matter of taste,' Meier said of Meghan and all the royal brides. So she wouldn't have been told exactly what the tailoring was. If anything, people usually expect to be told by protocol, 'It shouldn't be tight. In the case of the Duchess of Cambridge, she was perfectly tailored to her figure. That is a matter of taste, and I think it was a choice between her and the designer."
