As reported by The Mirror, an eminent English bridal designer, Christine Kendall had complained against the Royal company. According to her, the designs used for the dress Kate Middleton were allegedly copied from her. The suing fashion house that operates from a small studio in Hertfordshire filed a lawsuit for breaching the copyrights. As the report claims, the stunning figure-hugging long-sleeved lace gown was created by Sarah Burton, the executive director of Alexander McQueen. 

In her response, Burton claimed that she had never seen any of Ms. Kendall’s designs or sketches before. “There are no ifs and buts here, the claim is ridiculous,” said the director. The Princess dress was made of ivory and white satin that gave her a fairy-like look at the wedding. Following this, the same dress had become the center of another row made by Idol Judge Katy Perry.
