Want Your Very Own Carolina Herrera-Designed Bella Swan Dress?
For a mere $35,000, you got it!

People magazine reports that designer Carolina Herrera will now be reproducing Bella Swan's dress from 'Breaking Dawn, Part 1.' Each handmade dress will be sold for $35,000. Ouch.
Twilight fans can’t marry Edward Cullen, unfortunately, but they can look like Bella Swan when walking down the aisle. Designer Carolina Herrera recently announced that the dress she created for the Breaking Dawn wedding will be reproduced, and according to instyle.com, it’ll be available at her New York, Los Angeles, Bal Harbour and Dallas boutiques.
It won’t be so easy to get the gown, though; Herrera plans to make every crepe satin and French Chantilly lace dress by hand, so they’ll each come with a hefty price tag of $35,000.
Not that it’s an unreasonable price, though; Herrera, who’s made wedding gowns for celebs like Christina Hendricks and regularly clothes Renée Zellweger, spent six months creating the Breaking Dawn gown. “It had to be magical,” she said at the film’s premiere. I still have all the sketches and everything because it was so special.”
If you want that magic without the bank-breaking price, check out Alfred Angelo’s replica — the $799 gown looks similar to the dress Kristen Stewart wears in the wedding, and features the same cut-out back and lace embellishments.
Honestly, if I had $35,000 to drop on my wedding dress, I would want a completely unique and special one, and not the one Bella wore already. That's just me. How about you? Would you spend that on Bella's dress, or would you just get the $799 copycat?

Her dress isn't ugly, it's exactly appropriate for Edward, who lived in the early 1900s, and is also exactly how it is described in the novel. Thank goodness the designer listened to the author's description rather than give us some boring mermaid strapless dress that is the same thing everyone seems to be wearing lately. It was modest, elegant, and sexy which is hard to pull off all at once and it was achieved beautifully.

I am sorry but under no circumstances would I pay $35,000 for a wedding dress!!! Not even $35,000 for a wedding. It is a waste of money. Marriage is a symbol of love between 2 people who want to spend the rest of their lives together,it is not for putting on a movie production. Yes we want to celebrate our weddings but it does no mean you need to go overboard and put yourself in debt for years.

35k on a wedding dress?!?!?! The economy is horrible? Who can really afford that price anyways? She was beautiful in that gown-theres no denying that... But when people see you walking down the aisle... Do you want them to see you? Or you want them to think of Bella and her "special day"? If someone can really afford to spend that money just on dress(No matter how special the day is)... Then they can share with me

The wedding day is over so fast and usually only partial part of the day. I would rather give the money to charity, buy a beautiful gown for far less and put out more for the honeymoon. That's what I did for my own personal wedding! No celeb or movie is worth replicating for your own personal wedding. It should be about the couple and reflect them!

Let me start by saying that I am a huge Bella fan...so if I had the money...I would get this gown. I don't, so I can't even consider it really. I will "hopefully" be purchasing the Alfred Angelo version. I am not planning a wedding, nor will I be entertaining the idea at any point in my life. I want the dress solely because it is a replica of Bella's. And before I get all kinds of replies that I'm crazy....yes I know this. Everyone has a vice in life and mine really doesn't hurt anyone. Plus I do think that both gowns are very pretty and Carolina's looked gorgeous on Kristen Stewart - a perfect rendition of the dress from the book.
