document: How Royal bridesmaid Pippa Middleton kissed goodbye to all the secrecy over her dress designer Kate Middleton may be keeping her wedding dress creator a closely-guarded secret ... but her sister Pippa seems to have no such qualms . Pippa , 27 , who will be Kate 's head bridesmaid , spent three hours locked in designer Alice Temperley 's West London showroom this week . Mother Carole , 56 , was on hand , helping to fuel speculation that award-winning Ms Temperley , 36 , may design Kate 's dress too . Pippa arrived in her BMW Z4 just minutes ahead of Carole on Thursday afternoon and made no attempt at subterfuge . The Middletons were greeted on the cobbles outside the shop by Ms Temperley , who kissed them on both cheeks . ` Pippa was in high spirits and very smiley , ' said an onlooker . ` She was carrying what seemed to be a shoe bag , so possibly any gown being designed is n't for Kate but a bridesmaid dress for Pippa . ' But Kate , 29 , is a fan of trendy Ms Temperley and wore a black and white dress by the designer for her first official engagement with William in December when they attended a charity carol concert in Norfolk . ` Kate loves Alice 's collections , especially the simplicity of the designs , ' said a source . Ms Temperley has been tipped as Kate 's dress designer , along with Princess Diana 's favourite Bruce Oldfield . But yesterday Ms Temperley 's spokesman said she was unaware that she had been asked to make a dress for Kate or any of her bridal entourage . ` Not that I know of . It 's nothing I can comment on , ' she said . Buckingham Palace said of Pippa 's fitting with Ms Temperley : ` It was a private meeting between two individuals . ' Kate is understood to have commissioned two dresses for her big day on April 29 . She will change from her Westminster Abbey gown into a second dress for the evening reception Prince Charles is hosting at Buckingham Palace . A friend said : ` She is loving the fact no one knows who she will wear . Close friends do n't know . ' Sources believe Brazilian Daniella Issa Helayel , whose dress Kate wore when she and William announced the engagement , has not been asked to create anything for the wedding day . ' Bruce Oldfield , 60 , refused to comment on whether he was designing Kate 's dress after Pippa and Carole were pictured shopping at his West London shop . But it is widely believed that he is designing an outfit for Carole . Meanwhile , The Mail on Sunday can reveal Kate will have six hairdressers on her big day . Richard Ward and James Pryce , who has been cutting the family 's hair for years , will be joined by four senior stylists at the Goring Hotel in Belgravia . ` Kate had a practise with a hairdresser on Friday and she 's very happy with how everything is going , ' said a friend .
