British designer Sarah Burton, creative director of luxury fashion house Alexander McQueen, designed a wedding dress worn by Catherine Middleton at her wedding with Prince William on April 29, 2011.
The dress and its maker were not officially announced until the bride stepped out of her car to enter Westminster Abbey just before the service. Noted because of the design, symbolism, and expected influence on the Western wedding dress trend, the dress was widely anticipated and generated many comments in the media. The replica of the dress is produced and sold, and the original dress is on display at Buckingham Palace from 23 July 2011 to 3 October 2011 during the annual summer exhibition.

Pre-wedding speculation
Before that day, there was a lot of speculation about what Middleton would choose for her dress. On March 6, The Sunday Times reported speculation that Middleton has chosen McQueen designer Sarah Burton. Their report states: "A fashion source says that the dress will be a combination of Middleton's own design ideas and Burton's deep knowledge and understanding of high fashion." Label and Burton denied being involved. Burton's work came to Middleton's notices in 2005 when he attended the wedding of Tom Parker Bowles, Camilla's son, Duchess of Cornwall. Burton has designed a wedding dress for her bride, fashion journalist, Sara Buys. Also recommended are Phillipa Lepley, Victoria Beckham, Libelula by Sophie Cranston, Jasper Conran, Elizabeth Emanuel, Daniella Issa Helayel, Marchesa by Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman, Stella McCartney, Bruce Oldfield, and Catherine Walker.
Burton emerged as a favorite opportunity to create a dress among the bookies, so much so that the Englishman William Hill stopped betting a few weeks before the event. David Emanuel, co-designer of Diana's wedding dress, Princess of Wales, commented to Canadian fashion journalist Jeanne Beker that "McQueen is owned by Gucci, an Italian company.If Kate goes with that route, it will be the first time Britain's house is not selected And the Italians will have a field day with it. "
According to Joanna Marschner, Senior Royal Palace's Historic Curator, "the dresses should grow because the media's expectations have grown.The television cameras in Westminster Abbey mean that the dresses have to fill those places and indeed become of design excellence to withstand unlimited supervision. "

Design
The official statement noted that Middleton wanted to combine tradition and modernity, "with the artistic vision that characterizes the work of Alexander McQueen." He and Burton work together in formulating the dress design.
The English tabloid News of the World reported that in order to maintain confidentiality, the embroiderers at the Royal School of Needlework were initially told that the dress was meant to be used in a costume television drama and the cost was meaningless.. As a result, it has been widely reported that the dress cost £ 250,000, although spokesman Clarence House dismissed the claim.
The ivory satin corset is slightly in the hips and narrows at the waist, and is inspired by the Victoriaian corset tradition that is the hallmark of Alexander McQueen. The corset that was inserted in the floral motive was cut from machine-made lace, which was then applied to a silk net (tulle) by workers from the Royal School of Needlework, headquartered at Hampton Court Palace. At the back there are 58 buttons of the gazar and organza, which are fastened through the rouleau loop. Skirts, underskirt trim and bridal train (measuring 270 cm - 110 inches) also include applique lace d in the same way. The main part of the dress was made in ivory white and satin ivory, using a British cloth that had been specifically sourced from Sarah Burton, with a full long skirt designed to echo the opening flower, with a soft fold folded to the floor, forming a semi-hustle-bustle style Victorian style in the back, and finishing on a short train measuring just under three feet in length. To meet some of the 'blue something' of the British wedding tradition, the blue ribbon is sewn inside the dress. The design for a corset dress that features lace in the style of the 19th century is 'something old'.
The British press showed great interest in the lace used in wedding dresses, but their published reports differed from the available documentation, and showed that they were briefed with misleading or misleading public information. The facts about lace are as follows. The effects achieved by the corset design resemble the popularly decorated webs of the late nineteenth century, marked by Limerick and Carrickmacross straps in Ireland. For the latter, machine-made nets are used as a base where flowers and other designs are made with various hand-sewing techniques. A press release from the Royal School of Needlework states that the technique used in Catherine's wedding dress is "influenced by" traditional Carrickmacross lace techniques. However, the technique itself is completely different and the device is modern: the flower motif is cut from the lace that is produced on a large 19th century machine and sewn into the machine nets. Three companies are known to produce lace for the dress: Sophie Hallette and Solstiss in France, and Cluny Lace Company in Ilkeston, Derbyshire. The majority of dresses are made using solstiss lace, especially skirts and carts. The lace machine style goes by the names "English Cluny" and "Chantilly", but should not be confused with older handmade spindle straps of the same name. Lace is not specifically assigned to dresses, but is chosen from a stock pattern (what was previously known only as Sophie Hallette's "950264" now known as "Kate lace"; however, this lace is only used for the corset's dress, skirts and trains made of lace Solstiss, Grace Kelly's wedding dress is also made of lace by Solstiss, a French company.All the companies involved are known for producing the highest quality of couture lace.) And hence the available flower motifs are those that are present in the pattern. Though roses and maybe shamrocks can be seen on the corset, many reports about lilies and spikes that are needed to supplement the English quartet seem to be a true embroidered piece of dress.
Reception and influence
The dress generated a lot of comments in the media from fashion experts and was received very well. It has been noted that the design is mostly traditional and inspired by dresses from the 1950s. Karl Lagerfeld writes, "The clothes are classic and run very well in Westminster decoration, almost reminding me of Elizabeth's marriage, royal marriage in the 1950s.A nice proportion of trains, beautiful lobes, I like many curtains." Antonio Marras, from Kenzo, states, "the choice of labels and dress styles is a very clever blend of edgy fashion and tradition - all in a very English way.You can see references to Grace Kelly or Queen Elizabeth dresses, but in a simpler and more modern way." it is noted that the lace corset of Middleton dress echoed by Grace Kelly for her marriage to Rainier III, Prince of Monaco, in 1956. The comparison was also drawn with Princess Margaret's wedding dress. Mark Badgley from Badgley Mischka writes that "it is a type of dress that will stand the test of time, not all dresses do it.All brides around the world will want to wear it.This has a vintage touch, a classic 1950s party dress, so timeless that her daughter will looks pretty in this dress 30 years from now. "Meanwhile, Oscar de la Renta stated that it was" a very traditional outfit for a very traditional wedding... not fancy.. No 50-meter train, and it's not overembroidered. It's just a very traditional dress to excite, a girl who does not need much. "
The comparison is also done with a dress worn by Prince William's mother, Lady Diana Spencer. Vera Wang said, "Diana's dress has a sense of innocence, funny, almost romance stories.Catherine dresses on way more than just a dress.Sarah Burton channeled a new look at classicism for modern brides who will someday become queens." Diana wedding gown, Elizabeth Emanuel, has suggested: "Just as it happened in 1981, there will be people watching as she walks down the aisle with their sketch boards, with engineers and pattern cutters all ready and waiting. In the morning you'll see a copy on High Street. "Emanuel says the dress will suit many body shapes.
There are many opinions that the style of dress will affect the wedding dress for the next few years. Alison McGill, editor-in-chief of Weddingbells Magazine: "I think her choice to wear long sleeves signals a great goodbye to a strapless wedding dress." Meanwhile, Veronica Di Santo-Abramowicz, of the Toronto-based Ines Di Santo label, says "Kate's Gown will influence so many styles of bride we will see over the next few years. It always happens that when a noble or tall stature is married, this sets the trend for several years. For example, Diana's dress and Carolyn Bessette dress are the two brides that are worth noting. "
A replica of a British company, commissioned by The Times as a contest prize, was completed less than five hours after Middleton began his journey to Abbey. The company received many questions in one day, but stated that they should consult with a lawyer before a replica can be sold. New Zealand's Couturist Jane Yeh works all night after the wedding to make another copy of the dress. Chinese clothing manufacturers told journalists that they expected their clothes to be available one week from the event; someone expressed frustration that it did not leak first so they could have a pre-prepared supply. Others suggest the retail price of Ã, Â £ 70 to Ã, Â £ 90.
The choice of dress from fashion house Alexander McQueen, who committed suicide in 2010, caused Hubert de Givenchy to say "This is a wonderful thought, a good honor."
The dress along with other items related to the Royal Wedding are on display at Buckingham Palace from July 23, 2011 to October 3, 2011. The method of displaying dresses and tiaras (on a headless mannequin illuminated by white lighting) is reported to have been described as "awful" by the Queen during a private tour of the exhibition with the Duchess of Cambridge in July 2011. A microphone heard the Queen commenting to the Duchess "It made for a very creepy look" while Catherine responded that it had a "3D effect". The dress helped attract a number of visitor records to Buckingham Palace in the summer months of 2011. It was also reported to have helped raise about ten million pounds towards Kate Middleton's own charity fund as well as the Royal Collection.
