According to FashionEtc, princess-to-be Kate Middleton has three wedding dresses in the works. "Sources tell us that Middleton has commissioned three wedding dresses from three different designers, though not for the same reason Prince William's late mother had multiple gowns on hand when she married Prince Charles in 1981. Diana enlisted Emanuel to create two wedding dresses. The first to wear, and the second—an exact replica—in case something happened to the original." FashionEtc is reporting that one of the dresses is by British designer Jasper Conran—and that the three dresses are by three different designers, just in case one leaks to the press. [FashionEtc]
