EW has an article up on how Bella’s dress that appeared in the magazine’s photo spread of the birthday scene is a one-of-a-kind item. Costume designer Tish Monaghan tells EW, “‘It was supposed to be a gift from Alice, so I wanted something pretty that Alice would buy, but also something vintage [looking] that would be appropriate for Bella. We dressed it down with sneakers to keep the Bella flavor.”
Now this is true, however, this weekend at Creation Entertainment’s Twi-Tour Atlanta, we met that enterprising John Henson who has collected both original costumes from the Twilight Saga movie as well as created reproductions. John got in touch with Tish awhile back and created this fabulous reproduction using the same fabric that Tish did. It looked stunning on the display mannequin and later on his cousin at the vampire ball. The green of John’s replica dress is much richer in color, not our photos were taken via Pel’s IPhone camera in less than ideal lighting conditions.
We will have an interview with John at a future date. We were completely compelled by John’s stories of how he hunts down fabrics, original costumes, etc.
I love that dress, it’s absolutely gorgeous.
This dress is really pretty.I love it!
Lovely
I wish I could have one!
I hope he decides to reproduce it. Gorgeous.
What a beautiful dress worn by beautiful Maranda. If
Bella needs a standin – Maranda is your girl
I was at the Twi-tour in Atlanta and saw the dress and saw her walking around and the cake centerpiece…..all so beautifully done! John is fascinating and such a pleasure to speak to….I also enjoyed the Lexicon talk! Thanks ladies!!!
I think the sneakers are more Kristen’s thing then Bella’s. Alice DID get Bella to wear heels in the books.
Great pics!! I was at the Twi-con in Atlanta, GA and i had a blast!!
That is so cool. If I could do my prom dress it would be this one. But I think alot of girls did the whole Twilight prom dress this year which is so cute !
it looks like the same fabric from her bedding from the last movie, haha
It does! Only it’s not purple… But I do love the dress!
