Want to walk down the aisle looking just like Bella Swan from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1? Just have to have the Breaking Dawn wedding dress for your very own strange and possibly disturbing reason? Well now you can! Yes indeed, the official replica Bella Swan Breaking Dawn wedding gown is now on sale at Alfred Angelo stores nationwide for a relatively inexpensive $799.
The official Breaking Dawn wedding dress replica, designed by Michael Shettel, is inspired by the Carolina Herrera original gown worn by Kristen Stewart in Breaking Dawn during the Bella and Edward wedding scene. The dress and matching shoes retail for approximately $800 and have been officially sanctioned by Summit Entertainment. The original dress was made of silk, but the ‘Twilight Bridal’ replica is made of satin. The dress will be available in sizes from 0 to 30W.
Hererra will also include her version of the gown in her 2012 collection and sell it in her CHNY boutiques next year. No word on how many of those gowns will be produced or how much they will cost.
The Alfred Angelo Breaking Dawn wedding gown replica dress features “a dramatic plunging cut-out illusion back detailed with a soft Chantilly-inspired lace appliqué trim and full-length lace trimmed sleeves, self-fabric-covered buttons and a Chapel train,†according to a press release.
Herrera’s original Breaking Dawn wedding dress design was inspired by the gown worn by Bella Swan in the book. “I was called by Stephenie Meyer. We had to discuss a lot, but I was very inspired by her book and the description of the wedding,” Herrera said at the Breaking Dawn premiere. “I was very flattered I was asked to do it; it’s a big scene for me.”
