By now, you’ve probably already heard – Bella Swan’s wedding dress from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 movie now has a replica available for purchase!
Yes, ladies (and brides-to-be), bridal retailer Alfred Angelo acquired the license to produce and sell the replica way before the movie release date.

The original gown – a stunning silk dress cut on the bias featuring a mermaid-like silhouette, lace-trimmed long sleeves, and a sexy lace-trimmed illusion back fastened by a million buttons – was reportedly designed by Carolina Herrera and cost a whopping $35,000 to create.

Word has it that the designer will sell the gown in her 2012 Collection. But for those who want the dress but can’t afford to shell out $35,000, the $799 replica is a good option.
It’s a very close copy with only a few minor differences like the use of liquid satin instead of silk, and the use of a different type of lace for the trim.
To purchase the gown, simply head over to the nearest Alfred Angelo bridal salon. You can also buy her Manolo Blahnik ‘Swan’ embellished satin pumps.
Now if you’re not exactly a Twilight fan but you do love the figure-skimming long-sleeved silhouette, here ‘s a suggestion for you from Nightcap Clothing that we found at Shopbop. It’s cheaper by almost $200, is made of lace, and also comes with a sexy back:
