The beautiful Kate (Catherine) Middleton continues to keep us all guessing about her wedding dress. Today, it has surfaced that she has not one or even two dresses underway, but three!
Is FashionEtc's information correct that one is by Jasper Conran? Many are still guessing Alexander McQueen will be the feature at the royal nuptials.

But since nothing is confirmed, let's take a look at both names. Alexander McQueen has so long been associated with taking fashion and creating pure art. His recent passing was memorialized with silence at the opening of London Fashion Week, pre 2011. But his creations live on, as does the label under new owner Sarah Burton. His unveiled Savage Beauty compositions are now well-circulated and have left many a fashionista speechless.
In comparison, Jasper Conran describes himself as creating "timeless British couture". A sample of his spring line can be seen here: http://fashion.telegraph.co.uk/videos/TMG8012030/Jasper-Conran-at-London....
Is Kate planning on stepping out in in the extravangtly royal or the royally extravagant? A dress from the McQueen line would certainly be an experience, but perhaps Jasper Conran's timeless British pieces would be more fitting to the event.
