London, Nov 26 (IANS) While many British designers are hoping to make Kate Middleton’s wedding gown, Michelle Mone, who owns the underwear firm Ultimo, has offered to make her bridal lingerie when she marries Prince William next year.
Mone, who received an Order of the British Empire from Princess Anne at Buckingham Palace Thursday, has created undergarments for Middleton, and hopes that she takes the offer, reports contactmusic.com.
“I have designed Kate’s bridal lingerie for her, and I’m going to send the designs to her. I think Ultimo fits with her image,” said Mone.
As for her wedding gown, Harold Tillman, chairman of the British Fashion Council (BFC), has his fingers crossed that she picks a British designer only.
“She’s so beautiful, anything she wears will look stunning. We would like it to be a British designer. I understand there’s a shortlist. We have several really excellent designers. I think she will go simple and elegant,” said Tillman.
As of now, Phillipa Lepley is the frontrunner to create the gown.
