Ian Stuart, founder of designer bridal wear company Ianstuartbride.com, sees Kate in a decadent taffeta creation. "I would dress Kate Middleton in a luxurious silk taffeta gown, with an off-the -shoulder portrait neckline, leading into a fitted asymmetric trumpet skirt," says Ian. "The dress would incorporate a billowing train. Whatever choice Kate makes for her dress, it is sure that the style will be sought after and emulated by brides to be for many years to come, I imagine the bridal boutiques will be asked for a "Kate Middleton' many times over, and designers will need to adhere to the trend."
