Kate Middleton's Wedding Dress


Grace Kelly and Kate Middleton
Kate & Pippa Middleton

There has been a lot of speculation about what Kate Middleton's wedding dress was going to be, and to day, all was revealed. When she emerged from the hotel, we caught a glimpse of the dress as the train was bundled in behind her. On the car journey more was seen and I made a guess that it was Alice Temperley , judging by the light, romantic lace that you could see through the car window. I was desperate for it to be Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, but in an ealier interview it had been said that Sarah Burton was to dramatic and theatrical. I had googled frantically for Alice Temperley dresses and I had thought that I had found a near match to the dress. When the newsreader confirmed it was Sarah Burton, I was so happy. When she stepped out the car the dress took my breath away. The train was not to elaborate like Diana's, but a few embellishments on the bottom of the skirt just brought the dress together. The lace had been so intricately made using the finest skilled craftsmen in the country. The dress paid homage to the late Grace Kelly, clearly inspired by her iconic gown and has been praised by the likes of Karl Lagerfeld and Hubert de Givenchy.  Kate did not let us down, and congratulations to the couple!
