According to a source, singer-turned-fashion designer Victoria Beckham was also keen on making Markle's dress.

In March 2016, Markle said that she is a big fan of "whimsical or subtly romantic" wedding gowns. "Classic and simple is the name of the game, perhaps with a modern twist. Personally prefer wedding dresses that are whimsical or subtly romantic," she said.
