Carolina Herrera’s Bella Swan Wedding Dress: Where to Find It!

Nov 29, 2011 @ 11:30 am

The Carolina Herrera-designed wedding dress Bella Swan wore in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 can be yours! And we’re talking the real thing. The designer confirmed that she will offer the gown at four of her boutiques—New York, Los Angeles Bal Harbour, and Dallas—starting this January. Just as Herrera took six months and four seamstresses to custom-create the crepe satin and French Chantilly lace gown just for Kristen Stewart, she will make the piece for interested customers entirely by hand. The estimated cost will be around $35,000—and if that’s too steep, Alfred Angelo offers an official replica for $799, available now. See more photos of the bridal look in the gallery.
