Meghan Markle's wedding dress remains a mystery.

Markle is expected to wear a traditional gown with a unique detail for the royal wedding on May 19.

Rumors around which designer she'll choose and how much money it will cost are swirling - including the rumor that it might include pieces of Princess Diana's 1981 wedding dress that was worn during her ceremony.

The list of potential designers for her wedding dress include Markle's friend and designer Roland Mouret - whose line of wedding dresses includes seemingly simple designs with structured lines. Israeli designer Inbal Dror has also been speculated. Dror's 2018 collection incorporates more lace, sheer fabric, and gems than Mouret's. Rumors of Burberry's Christopher Bailey designing the royal wedding dress have also been discussed.
