Kate Middleton wedding dress 'will be future of high-street fashion'

It is one of the biggest secrets in the country, and one with potentially huge ramifications for the British high street: who has designed THE wedding dress?

Increasingly loud rumours that the royal wedding dress could be the work of lesser-known designer Sophie Cranston – founder of the label Libelula – forced the company to issue a denial last week, at which point the speculative spotlight shone upon Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen, Bruce Oldfield, Phillipa Lepley and Alice Temperley.

The bride-to-be's choice is expected to have huge repercussions as high street stores prepare to satisfy a generation of mini-Kates seeking to replicate the future queen.
