Wedding dress of Princess Eugenie of York

In a pre-wedding interview, Eugenie had said: "I'm not telling anyone who is making it, but I can say it is a British-based designer ... As soon as we announced the wedding, I knew the designer, and the look, straight away". British-based designer Erdem was the bookmakers' favourite to design Eugenie's wedding dress. Suzannah and Stella McCartney were also among the bookmakers' favourite choices. == Designers and dress details ==

Peter Pilotto, a British-based label, was founded in 2007 by Peter Pilotto and Christopher de Vos. Known for their "innovative textile design, paired with a modern feminine silhouette", the label has provided Eugenie with several outfits during the past years. Pilotto and de Vos searched through archives and viewed previous bridal gowns and eventually identified a silhouette. The wedding gown was then made layer by layer after several fittings, "with the corset and complex underskirt before moving on to the fitted bodice and full pleated skirt". Eugenie personally asked the designers to make an open-back dress as she wanted her scar from the scoliosis operation that she underwent at the age of 12 to be revealed. In an interview before the wedding she had spoken about the importance of "showing people your scars". ==Reception==
