Will it be white? Satin or lace? British or foreign made? The tightly-guarded secret of Meghan Markle's wedding dress will finally be revealed when she walks down the aisle to marry Prince Harry on Saturday.

Anticipation has reached levels not seen since the 2011 wedding of Harry's brother Prince William and Catherine Middleton, who in the end wore a white and ivory satin gown designed by Sarah Burton from the Alexander McQueen fashion house, a 100 percent British creation.

US actress Meghan may also opt for a dress from her adopted country to curry favour with the public and to boost Britain's valuable fashion industry.

There is also some speculation, although far less, about what ex-army man Harry will wear on his big day -- a civilian suit or a full dress uniform? - Whimsical, traditional, or both? -
Mouret told AFP in February that he wouldn't reveal if he was the chosen man, saying: "She's a friend and the great gift I can give my friends is to keep their lives private."
"However, she is marrying a member of the Royal family, so she may opt for ivory or an off white shade which actually would be perfect on her skin tone." - International exposure -
