I thought brides were supposed to want a dress that didn’t look like anyone else’s, but then again, who doesn’t dream of being just like Bella Swan?
An official replica of the Carolina Herrera-designed wedding dress that Kristen Stewart wears in “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1” hit stores on Tuesday. It was designed by bridal retailer Alfred Angelo and sells for $799.
The liquid satin sheath has long, lace-trimmed sleeves and a dramatic plunging cut-out illusion back detailed with a Chantilly-inspired lace applique, fabric-covered buttons and a chapel train. It’s available in Alfred Angelo stores nationwide in sizes 0-30W.
If you’re not quite ready to go all the way with your sparkly-skinned beau, Alfred Angelo has a line of Twilight inspired prom dresses as well. Each comes with a free ticket to watch the work of past feminists crumble to the ground.

Hope this post doesn’t ring too commercial. Loved your piece Dan, tho couldn’t resist putting in a plug for a great local show… but do you think it’s any less commercial than CBS and the WSJ plugging Alfred Angelo’s “OFFICIAL” knock-off of the dress (sanctioned by Summit Entertainment), $799 price tag and all?
