    Kate Middleton's wedding dress was designed by, Sarah Burton head designer for  Alexander McQueen.
Many critics from the fashion industry suggested  that Kate Middleton helped design her wedding dress that was inspired by Grace Kelly's dress.  The use of a lot of lace and similar silhouette make the two dresses look somewhat similar. Some say that Kate loves v-necklines and that why her wedding gown had one.  There is an understated elegance that were characteristic of both dresses.
