My Final Royal Dress Prediction

So with me now willing to put money on the fact that Sarah Burton is The Royal Wedding dress designer... here are 5 predictions of the Bride.

1. The colour - Off white/ivory, not only is the colour hugely popular in wedding dresses its also a big fashion trend for S/S 2011 and white is classed as very elegant which will suit kates style perfectly. Also by Kates previous wardrobe we know she can do bright white very well after the Reiss dress.


2. The dress will have some sort of sleeve, it is custom for royal wedding gowns to bare a sleeve, I think she may have a full length sleeve in a sheer fabric to update this rule slightly. She has been wearing the style for many of her dresses and jackets for recent events, showing she possibly prefers to cover the arm anyway. I think with both the length in her arms and legs would be suited to a long fitted sleeve anyway as it sticks to her tiny figure.


3. I think there will be some kind of embellishment on the dress, only very delicate and still very classy, but maybe crystals or stones of some description to add the princess touch. And if not crystals the dress will be embellished with some form of delicate embroidery or added texture or flowers into the fabric, this would especially be typical of a Mcqueen design.


4. Kate's hair will definitely be worn down and I think kept to her usual gentle curls. Especially after the comments made to her hairdresser, that she wanted William to still recognise her at the end of the aisle. She'll also be wearing some ind of crown/tiara , I think it will be a little for subtle and less heavy than the one worn my Diana though.


5. My final prediction is on the shape of Kates dress, I really do think she is going to go for something alot more slimline than expected from a royal wedding dress, I still think it will have some volume in the skirt (epically if it is McQueen) however no way near as big as that worn by Princess Diana, I'm also not 100% on if she will have a full veil as I don't know how this would suit Kate's style.

Sarah Burton

Looks like I may well be right !!!
Sarah Burton has just been seen leaving The Goring Hotel, where Kate Middleton is staying tonight !!!


So is Miss Middleton wearing a Mcqueen ! And even more excitingly is it a new design by Burton or could it be a vintage Mcqueen dress or even one taken from an old sketch.

Alexander Mcqueen had got connections with the Royal Family, apart from being awarded an CBE by the Queen he was famous for sewing rude messages in to Prince Charles' Jacket.



The Royal Countdown

In about 12 hours Kate Middleton will be on her way to Westminster Abbey to marry Prince William ... And I'am stupidly excited !


My last on post about the Royal Wedding was totally college related, however this is just me getting into the spirits of things before tomorrows Pimms-fest !

More than anything I can not wait to see Kate's dress, after all the rumours I really do hope it is a Sarah Burton design, as the wedding collection she has previously shown was beautiful. It would also mean giving a new quirky look to a Royal wedding dress.



The only thing that makes me doubt the rumours how simplistic and elegant Kate Middletons style has aways been in her Issa engagement dress and Amanda Wakeley suits.And that the quirkiness of the Burton designs are too out there for Kate. She has been noted for saying that she wants William to recognise its her at the end of the aisle, and therefore will she stick to a dress for fitted to her elegant sophisticated style.

What I am sure of, is the dress will be beautiful and look amazing on Kate ... I think she could probably make a bin bag work, as she is obviously just very naturally beautiful and has such a elegant and svelte figure.
I will be up at 6am in the morning, for the very start of the coverage, and by the time Kate Middleton emerges at Westminster Abbey at 11am I will be at my friend Julie's Royal Garden Party watching in awe as she walks down the aisle ... I hope her heels are a little higher than usual ...maybe Bridal Louboutins ???

The Royal Wedding

I am one of the sad ones who is getting rather excited about the royal wedding, with only 25 days left to go.
In our current brief we are asked to look at how events and cultures can influence fashion and the way it is communicated, and I thing The Royal Wedding is a great way to demonstrate this.

Everybody is taking advantage to cash in on The Royal Wedding, from Fashion Designers, foods brands, interiors (my mother included) and even toy makers !!!

This Happy-Land figurine set even includes a Corgi ! Its on my little sisters Easter list too !
I also was very impressed by the Royal Wedding theme running throughout Marks&Spencer this afternoon. With royal cushions, right the way through to egg cups and crown printed guest towels !!
The one Royal item I came across to really make me chuckle was from TopShop ...
Royal Knickers !!! I'm sure HRM will be sporting these under her Hermes suit !
My final royal finds are from Harvey Nichols, we have cakes, cups, biscuits, coasters and even tea bags ! As well as a special Royal Wedding themed Afternoon Tea is the restaurant.
My Favorite is the Keep Carm and Marry on Biscuit. The Keep Carm brand have become immensely popular over the last year, and I think its great to see they are even joining in on the royal action.
I'm looking forward to seeing Vogue magazine later in the week to see if they are also working with the royal theme as well as seeing if any shop windows get a royal makeover.
