Kardashian, 33, reportedly reached out to the designer who created Duchess Kate Middleton's dress for the royal wedding because she wants to achieve a similar look for her and West's big day.
"She has called on Sarah Burton to design one of her options. Kim wants the low-cut v-neck look that Kate had, but much lower, and she wants her gown to be tight fitting to show off her svelte figure," a source told RadarOnline.com.
