Israeli designer Inbal Dror has sketched three designs, which were leaked on Tuesday.
The world has been hit with a
serious case of Royal Wedding Fever since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
announced their engagement at the end of November.
First, there was the endless speculation over where the couple would marry — which was later announced to be St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle.
Then it was the date, which was confirmed on Friday to be Saturday May 19, 2018.
Now, the public has moved on to guessing which label Markle will choose to design her wedding dress.
According to the Jerusalem Post, Israeli fashion designer Inbal Dror — whose dresses are shown in the Instagram post below — was asked by palace officials to provide some sketches of potential wedding dress designs for Markle last week.
See designs bellow...
The three designs from Dror,
each annotated with the phrase "for Meghan Markle, with love," all
feature tight bodices, high-neck collars, long sleeves, lace accents,
and flowing skirts — which could be insights into the type of dress
Markle is looking for.
British Fashion Council chairman Harold Tillman told the Daily Mail
that he wouldn't be surprised if Markle and the royal family chose an
international designer to craft the bride's gown — especially in light
of the fact that Markle isn't British herself.
"We need to be embracing international
business," said Tillman. "If we get ourselves into, 'She's marrying a
British royal so she has to wear British' then we're isolating
ourselves."
Dror's trademark styles tend to feature
elegant fabrics, tight bodices, and plunging necklines. Her dresses
typically tend to sell for between $8,000 and $10,000 (£6,000 and
£7,500), although it's difficult to estimate how much a bespoke bridal
gown for the royal wedding would cost.
This wouldn't be the first time that Dror has provided a bespoke dress for an A-Lister client. In 2016, Beyoncé wore a bespoke Inbal Dror gown — shown above — to the Grammy Awards.
The
dress also featured long sleeves, white lace accents, a high collar, and
flowing skirt — much like Dror's designs for Markle.
