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.
