Royal Wedding: Countdown to the Big Wedding Dress Reveal...and Its Knockoffs

Let the knockoffs begin. After April 29, that is.

Chances are good that romantic, flowing and form-fitting bridal gowns, evening dresses and prom frocks will be making their way to retailers' shelves come May.

That's because that's the fashion aesthetic of Sophie Cranston, the British designer who was chosen to create Kate Middleton's wedding dress -- just what clothing makers and retailers are breathlessly waiting to copy when the soon-to-be-princess makes her big reveal next week at the royal wedding.
