    Designers sketch their dress suggestions for Kate Middleton

    By Joanna Douglas, Senior Fashion and Beauty Editor | Fashion – Wed, Dec 15, 2010 8:40 PM EST

    Kate Middleton and Prince William may not say "I do" until April 29, 2011, but we're hungrily taking in every royal wedding detail until the big day. There has been much speculation and anticipation about which designer Middleton will choose to create her bridal gown, and despite exhibiting impeccable style thus far, there's no denying the pressure is on.



    Fashion trade paper Women's Wear Daily asked 29 designers and brands to sketch their concept of The Dress. Only one of the designers is actually British, so we're guessing Middleton will pick "none of the above," but we love seeing what the likes of Vera Wang, Karl Lagerfeld, and J.Crew have conjured up just the same. A submission from Bruce Oldfield, the alleged front-running wedding dress designer, is noticeably absent from the group, which makes us suspect he may be spending his time constructing the real thing!



    Check out a dozen of the best dress designs here, weigh in on your favorites in the comments, and click over to WWD for the rest.

      I like #'s 4, 6, & 8. They are the most stylish and from pictures I've seen so far, would fit her fashion style/sense best! Regardless, she will be a beautiful bride!! Long live the Queen!

      why will she have to wear a boring english designer, as she probably will. they are last on the list of good designers.

      I love 4 and 6 the most. Then again, if Kate is having everyone wear hats, I'm guessing she'll have someone design a hat to fit with her dress.

      I like the Valentino. It just looks better than the others to me. I think it says "Wow" and grabs your attention. Looks very modern.

      she should wear a simple dress like ferritti or gucci because she is lovely and simple is really beautiful on a beautiful young woman.

      I simply hope that it is elegant and does nor resemble anything like princess Diana's wedding gown. That gown looked like hanging drapes. Keep it elegant and try to compliment the style that is Kate.
