Copy-Kate wedding dress here soon

IRISH brides are expecting to snap up royal replica gowns for their own fairytale wedding with the first hotly anticipated copies set to hit bridal boutiques around the country.

Brides-to-be all could be walking down the aisle as early as next month in the Princess Kate design by New York fashion house Faviana which will go on sale in Ireland in July.

And almost as many Irish women are being tipped to exchange their vows later in the year in the slinky white creation worn by her gorgeous younger sister Pippa.
