The only thing more exciting than the long-awaited wedding (and no doubt, the infamous sex scene) between Bella and Edward is the prospect of actually seeing Bella in her wedding gown.

But you don’t actually have to wait until Thursday to see the Carolina Herrara dress that was specially designed for the movie.

Almost as quick as the speed at which Kate Middleton’s Chantilly lace dress popped up in bridal boutiques everywhere, a replica of the dress has surfaced at wedding dress retailer Alfred Angelo’s stores in the United States, within days of the movie’s first screening.

According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, Alfred Angelo is the official, ‘sanctioned’ knock-off artist for the dress, and that the designer, Michael Shettel, was even flown out to the set in Los Angeles to see the dress in real-life.

All this began back in May, and was expertly kept under wraps with the help of a whole list of code names for the top secret project. The Wall Street Journal also reports that a confidentiality agreement was signed between only four main principals.

This gown will go for USD$799, a fraction of the price of the original dress; and we’re predicting the actual dress in question will go on auction in a few months, with the highest bidder paying an exorbitant amount, if only to gaze at it admiringly.

Pictures of the dress have also been revealed on Alfred Angelo’s website, and the satin dress has lace-trimmed long sleeves with a cut-out back complete with a lace embellishment.

While we won’t be able to buy it here in Singapore, we’re sure that plenty of other bridal retailers will jump on the Twilight wedding bandwagon, to help to fulfil your wishes of a dream wedding with a sparkly boy of your own.
