"Better late than never! More than three years after Kate Middleton married Prince William in a beautiful Alexander McQueen wedding dress, the designer behind the gown, Sarah Burton, is finally speaking about the experience.\r\n&amp;quot;I know we live in a culture obsessed with fame, but I happen to believe privacy is a virtue, and the relationship I have with my clients is private,&amp;quot; Burton, 40, explained to the New York Times&amp;apos; T Magazine. &amp;quot;Some people like to think I&amp;apos;ve been too shy or that I&amp;apos;m afraid to speak up about the happy experience I had creating the Duchess of Cambridge&amp;apos;s wedding dress, but I can tell you that is nonsense. I have never been a shrinking violet or a person who is ruled by fear.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nBurton went on to discuss said &amp;quot;happy experience,&amp;quot; giving details on all of the work that went into creating Middleton&amp;apos;s now-iconic gown. On that momentous day in April 2011, Middleton, now 32, walked down the aisle in the long-sleeved V-neck confection with a stunning train and traditional lace veil.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I loved making the dress, I loved adapting my ideas to suit the person and the occasion, and we put our hearts into it,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I respect the intimate nature of that lovely project and I respect the friendships that were forged during it&amp;#x2026; an instinctive, intelligent, imaginative young woman&amp;apos;s wish for a beautiful wedding dress &amp;#x2014; or any kind of dress &amp;#x2014; is the most natural thing in the world. I was honored to pick up the challenge and always will be.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nWhile the gorgeous gown quickly sparked a slew of copycats and worship from fans and fashion critics alike, Burton told T she wasn&amp;apos;t anticipating the frenzy.\r\n&amp;quot;I had no idea it would be as big as it was,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;Only the night before, seeing all the photographers outside the abbey, did I think, &amp;apos;Oh, my God. This is massive.&amp;apos;&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
