Designer Carolina Herrera shared some of Twilight Wedding Dress details! Bella Swan's wedding dress is speculated to be one of the most covetable wedding dress of the year because a lot of women have been captured by its elegance and sophistication. The custom-made wedding dress was created by designer Carolina Herrera and four seamstresses for over six months. Made from crepe satin and French Chantilly lace, the dress features 152 buttons on the back and 17 on each sleeve.
The handmade floor-length style with a Bardot neckline and short train gown is available at Herrera boutiques in New York, Los Angeles, Bal Harbour and Dallas from January 2012.
