And singing her praises for the magazine is Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker, who has been a fan of the label for many years.
Parker labeled the Royal Wedding job as a 'burden and privilege' and commended Burton for creating a dress that 'lived up to an impossible dream.'
The actress wrote: 'She is a young woman who shouldered an enormous burden and privilege with dignity, heart and strength.
'The whole world gasped in astonishment and sighed in reverie as she made one young woman's fantasy a reality for everyone.
'She is now, at 37, a designer the elder statesmen of fashion marvel at, who is spoken of as the real thing",
Parker went on to praise Burton's low-key character, "but you have to restrain her to make her hear that. She is busy working and never intended to find herself spoken of in headlines or chatter.
'She never imagined photo shoots or interviews. She thinks about women and art and stories, weaves her tale into the future of fashion. On the runway she is inspired. And she creates the most beautiful and complex layers and simple, perfect lines. And a waist. Keeping up the tradition. Lee would be so proud.'
Burton's confidentiality agreement from Buckingham Palace prevented her from revealing details of the dress ahead of the Royal couple's wedding eve.
She told Vogue: 'I remember standing in Westminster Abbey thinking, "This is unreal".
'It was like a fairy tale. And all I could think was, "I hope I don't trip over".
'I didn't realise the enormity of it until much nearer the wedding day. It was a magical experience.'
