Who is Jasper Conran, you ask? Right now he’s our latest royal obsession, as he has allegedly designed one of the top secret Kate Middleton wedding dresses that we’re dying to see. Jasper is a British designer with over 20 years as a designer up his sleeve, including ready-to-wear collections, ballet garments, and opera gowns. We don’t know what the royal wedding dress will look like, but we did pull some of Jasper’s past bridal looks to get an idea:

Fashionable Plate

In 30 years when every reality show has 5 to 50 spinoffs, it only makes sense that Hoarders and Intervention will get together to create Hoarders Prevention Intervention. This show will focus on friends and family who worry about a loved one's habits of gathering too much of something. They will sit that person down and tell them their newspaper or tattered sock collection has surpassed eccentric and become a problem on the verge of ruining everyone's life.
If this show actually waits 30 years to be created, my friends and family will be sitting me down to tell me I can't have any more dinnerware. I'm obsessed with plates, which is why I'm probably better off broke because I would buy a new set a month. Every time a plate or set of plates catches my eye I envision the perfect setting--a chocolate party (I actually have plates for this!), a tour of Asian cuisine (got plates for this too), a jewelry or accessory selling party (yep, I have those too), or a crazy wig High Tea.
I don't have plates for that, but these Ladies-In-Waiting Dishes from Anthropologie ($24 each) would be perfect. We'd eat elaborate bite-sized pastries created in vibrant pastels a' la Marie Antoinette while wearing crazy wings and huge, candy-colored frocks. Doesn't that sound fun? And it absolutely requires these plates, right?

How To Find The Right ?

Before you even start looking, work out your absolute top limit for spending on your dress. Don't forget to factor in accessories like a veil, shoes, jewellery or a matching shrug/jacket. Try to keep your feet on the ground and be realistic about what you can afford. Remember also that you can find designer dresses at drastically reduced prices online or at dress factory outlets, so keeping to a budget may not be as much of a hardship as you imagine! Buying a discount dresses could save you up to £1500!
Experiment with style. You may have your heart set on a particular cut or style of dress, but sometimes what we imagine or see in magazines just doesn't look right on us. Use the experience of the store staff to help you find something that is ideal for your body shape. The best way to do this is to try on a variety of different dresses to see which is right for you.
Watch your angles! Try moving about in your dress to make sure it's comfortable and flattering in all positions. Do you fall out of it when you bend over? Does it make your bum look big? These kind of questions may make you giggle while you're trying on dresses but think about the logistics of your day - make sure your dress is comfortable for sitting, dancing, bending over to kiss a multitude of relatives etc...
