So many designers rush to design Kate’s wedding dress, but after I see some of the sketches, I know Kate will choose the long train one, because the long train is a symbol of Royal.
After the royal wedding, many wedding dress retailers released some similar styles, of course, the lace jacket would be the selling point.
This is the primary sketch, Watters created a Chantilly lace dress with a V-neck and a slim skirt that is extra full in the back.
Brooklyn-based milliner Jennifer Behr launched her eponymous accessories line in 2005, after designing an exclusive collection for celebrity hairstylist Frederic Fekkai that was an instant hit.

Designers are coming out with their Spring 2011 collections, and I’ve been noticing certain trends in this season’s wedding dresses. One of my favorites is their use of tulle overlays. Placing a soft layer of tulle over a different fabric creates a softer look and tones down the luster of high-gloss satin and silk. Lots of designers used this fabric treatment this season.
