Why would Doria be hauling a dress for the wedding with her? Wouldn't of that been done in London and there waiting for her?

@Pranter - Yes, I think the MoB dress is in London/Windsor, safely secured.
Maybe Doria is expected to meet with the in-laws at a specially planned dinner or something and is required to change in the airport and go straight to that event? Just guessing, of course but I do agree that that garment bag dies not hold THE MoB dress.
I mean, to be fair, we don't really know for certain when Doria was in London last, do we? She was rumoured to have been there in Apri and that's certainly not too far back to have your final fitting. This isn't a complex wedding dress after all that's going to fit like a glove....most MoB dresses are a little looser so even if her weight has changed a little recently, I think a final fitting in April is feasible.
The reason I don't think that's THE dress for Doria is when you consider the lengths the Press go to get insider info on anything related to the bride, MoB and bridesmaid clothing including rummaging through garbage and staking outside any and all designer offices etc., plus the efforts usually made to keep these things private until the day of, then I can't see Doria who has been the soul of discretion carrying around a bag with the designer's name for all to see with paparazzi around.
Plus, I would think Meghan woud have gone with her to her fittings etc which would have been easier for Meghan to facilitate in London. Anyway, it's all speculation and we're all guessing. We may all be wrong but the speculation is fun.
P.S. Not saying that Doria *isn't* wearing Burberry on the day, just don't think that if she is, it's in *that* garment bag.
McQueen had done bridal before. No they weren't/aren't bridal designers like Lepley, but they had certainly done bridal.
Sarah Burton had, and since she had recently taken the helm, it led to some of the speculation.

Sarah actually designed the dress of Sarah Buys, the wife (soon to be ex I believe) of Tom Parker Bowles. It seems Sarah may have been the one who suggested McQuen to Kate.

I do not think it is as I think Doria would have been more careful if it was. This may be her outfit for meeting the Queen. KP announced she would be meeting the royals. I imagine that will happen tomorrrow or early Thursday.
We also have the hotel arrival Friday too which will be televised.

Royal Wedding: Alexander McQueen tipped to design Kate Middleton's wedding dress - hellomagazine.com
?A spokesman for Alexander McQueen – preparing to present at Paris Fashion Week – said: "Sarah is busy working on her new collection for the Tuesday show and she was as surprised as the rest of us to hear about this.
"She is not designing the dress."
Chief executive Jonathan Akeroyd, who reportedly told a colleague that Sarah had been chosen, has also denied that the British fashion house has anything to do with the design.
"Not at all," he said. "I am the CEO. I would know if we were doing it."
Don't bring up the sheath...you'll give Jacqui the vapors!!!!

That is clever. I like Charlene's, Victoria's and Mette Marit's gowns on her
If she were going to wear one in that model program...I'd go with Victoria's or Grace Kelley's.

The rest... Dear God, no. All it did was confirm, to me, like Countessmeout, that an A-line/modified A-line are the best profile for her body type.
This is FUN!
