And the bride wore white ... royal brides through the ages

KATE seems to favour classic designs with a quirky twist. She would look good in a narrower, fitted dress, possibly bias cut, so she would not be swamped due to her narrow frame.

It is unlikely that she would go strapless (as is the fashion nowadays) as she will be expected to cover her shoulders in Westminster Abbey.

We would not be surprised to see some nod to vintage in the design and would expect her to have lux fabrics with some detailing but generally understated.

She is a very modern-looking woman and we would expect her wedding dress to reflect that.
