Is this Kate Middleton’s Wedding Dress?

You n Your Wedding Predicts: Kate Middleton's Wedding Dress

She’s got her prince and her rock, and they’ve nearly set a date – next for real-life princess-bride Kate Middleton: the wedding dress. Y&YW fashion editor Peta Hunt has picked her top 10 predictions for the look of Kate and Wills’ love…

Bruce Oldfield

“Bruce Oldfield has made other’s royals’ gowns and is an expert in dresses of scale.”

For understated elegance with a sweep of sheeny glamour, Kate can’t go wrong with the high-neck Sophie wedding dress. Sprinkled with embroidered flowers, it’s spring-wedding perfect – and she can add a Twenties headpiece for some retro edge

Amanda Wakeley

“Stylish and simple but oh-so modern, this Amanda Wakeley look would be brilliant for keeping out the chills if they get married in spring.”

That bolster collar and elbow-length sleeves say refined, modest chic, while the under-bust bow is a wink at so-now style. Kate could up the high-fashion ante with a bow-secured high bun, or go for polished-pretty with a neat classic chignon

Phillipa Lepley

 “How wonderful if she chose this gorgeous Phillipa Lepley gown for a proper English Rose look.”
So Wills is a true romantic? He’ll definitely have met his match if Kate goes for this dreamy rose-trimmed wedding dress. With her hair back in a chunky plait, soft blush and rose pink lips, she’ll be every bit the girl-next-door princess

Jasper Conran

“Jasper Conran is all about simple styles, elegantly cut and using the best fabrics.”
Simple and structured is the name of the game in the strapless Freesia wedding dress – but there’s more to this minimalist beauty than meets the eye: that full train will help Kate make a stately big entrance, but it’s removable for a sleek evening look that’s kind to the Queen’s coffers. And that clean-cut neckline leaves plenty of room for a statement royal necklace – we’re thinking sapphires to match that engagement ring – though we’re not sure that her in-laws would let her get away with the tiara…

Jenny Packham

“Jenny Packham is a red-carpet favourite and knows how to use sparkle to effect, but she can also do breath-taking romance.”
Little girls around the country will see their dreams come true if Kate picks a frothy fantasy like Hemera. That full-blown skirt is the princessy stuff of fairy stories, while the sparkling bow waist-sash defines girlie – but there’s still just enough edge in that angular bodice that it ticks off fashion-forward for the grown-ups

Stewart Parvin

“Stewart Parvin is maker to the Queen and holder of the Royal Warrant – perfect for classic dresses with a Hollywood twist.”
Horse + carriage + lace-swathed wedding dress = rom-com-worthy arrival. Add a full-length, pearl-strewn veil and Kate’s straight out of a movie. All she needs is a cropped cardi to spare her the springtime air – and keep her under wraps as she says ‘I do’ to Prince Wills

Alice Temperley

“Alice Temperley is a favourite of the Notting Hill set – would Kate go for something like this beautiful lace covered dress?” A one-step homage to royals past – grandma-in-law included – Kate could earn some brownie points in the lace-draped, long-sleeved Jessamine. All she needs is her hair in three braids or a Gibson tuck, and there she has it: all-out vintage bridal – or she could modernise the look while staying simply classic: just use a strand of cream pearls as a headband.

Sassi Holford

 “We love Sassi Holford, but the question is: does making the wedding dress for Autumn Patricia Phillips – wife of Peter Phillips, son of Anne, Princess Royal – put her out of the running?”
If it’s a timeless bridal style the new princess is after, it’s got to be the A-line, sweetheart Georgie wedding dress. That heart-shaped neck and subtly voluminous floor-length skirt are a classic wedding look that never fades, while that ribbon-like trim and sheeny under-bust sash add a touch of 21st-century sophistication

Suzanne Neville

“For that ‘X’ factor, who better to show off Kate’s figure than Suzanne Neville?”
Way to make covering up a serious style statement – Kate can keep it modest with a twinkle in the Rapture. A crystal-inset silver cuff would set off that shoulder strap, and tie in with the waist belt as it flatters her svelte curves. Plus she’ll earn a nod from Prince Phillip for the Grecian vibe – he was Prince Phillip of Greece and Denmark, after all

Belville Sassoon

“For the past 50 years, Belville Sassoon has been known as everyone’s favourite, including Madonna, Helen Mirren, Melanie Griffith, Leona Lewis and Katherine Jenkins.”
A dress to be remembered in, it’s all about the standout skirt on this breathtaking Bellville Sassoon wedding dress. Kate could add a jacket – we know how much she loves them, and we’d go for cropped and cream with this bodice – and keep her shoulders covered through those über-formal vows, then shed it for the cameras as she steps out of the church for an instant striking image for the history books.
