    Even if Breaking Dawn did not make it popular!! I think Im small enough and its really classy:)) I think it looks better on her than Bella lol. And the front pattern is more softer than those weird diamond ones in the movie.

    I really like the back, but not so much the front....something about the seams throws me off..

    I adore the back and wish I could sew on another front. You have a lovely frame for that style though!

    =( the front looks like a sleeping gown.....I think it can be modernized a bit more - adding some rhinestones around the vneck and remove the sleeves all together!

    @mittens111211:  ugh, yes.  the back is gorgeous, but the front is just such a letdown.  I don't think it would be flattering on any body type.

    I agree that the front is horrible! Love the back (totally not my style) but I do think a smaller frame could pull it off.

    @adage: It does look like a sleeping gown... not much shape to it even though the seams are suppose to give it structure...

    I do not like this gown at all!!

    I just think it's an unflattering gown- on any body type!

    I do think the back is gorgeous but the front really looks like a nightgown! You can totally find something that has an amazing back like that with a more flattering front!

    I think you'd look good it in... you'd have to try it on and see!

    As others have said, I'm not too crazy about the bust area nor the shape of the collar... I don't feel it's flattering even on the model... but you don't know until you try it!

    If you love the dress, I say go for it.

    I LOVE the back but not a fan of the front, I think its not flattering. also I find this dress very inappropriate to wear in public...it looks like lingerie.

    I liked the dress on her but you would have to be super thin to pull it off. It def was a great nod to the Edward's time period and her ring.

    I voted no way, but only because I really, really don't like the dress... Just wanted to let you know it doesn't have anything to do with you or your body, I just think there are much prettier dresses out there.

    I reminds me of the dress Kate Hudson wore to the SAG awards in 2010.

    I'd totally rock this! :  wedding C1828 Long Sleeved Short Black Dress Kate Hudson White Plunging Back Gown At SAG Awards Celeb Red Carpet Fashion

     

    Or Angelina Joie's dress from The Tourist:

    It's very red carpet...not sure it's what I expect out of a wedding dress.  But if you are going for a more modern affair, I guess it could work.

    I agree with what pretty much everyone else said. I love the back. I'm currently obsessed with keyhole backs. But, the front leaves much to be desired.

    really? I didn't think "nightgown" at all... I thought Oscars.

    I've never seen a nightgown like that. Lol.

    Oh, and you could totally rock anything.

    Sorry, one more vote nice back/lingerie front. For me, a wedding dress should have structure. Corseted, boned and cinched tight, with plenty of crinoline.

    A girl can wear a slinky bias-cut dress any other fancy night out; but there are few occasions when she can wear a dress with structure.

    I really think you'd end up regretting wearing a dress inspired by a vampire movie.  I sure would.

    yeah the front is meh but the back is so pretty! Knowing me I'd sweat my butt off in it... was just thinking out loud lol!  Haven't decided 100% on a dress. Re tried my DB dress(the bow one) and it just was blah compared to other dresses Ive tried on and only have tried about 4. I just want something age appropriate that says Im a woman,Im 29(next sept) !!!

    I think if it were a tank (like just cut the sleeves off at the hem) that it would look better. Something about the front throws me off, but I love the back.

    I don't like the sleeves, I think it'd be prettier if they were lace, and like everyone else, the front. The back is stunning, though.

    I think it looks very vintage and would would be gorgeous if you did a whole vintage look: finger waves, side part, red lipstick, birdcage veil or no veil--AMAZING!

    @KatyElle:

    It's the darts on the dress! It's doesn't look ill-constructed, just not meant to be worn by an actual person. I don't see how that dress would look good on anything but a hanger if it doesn't even look right on the 00 model!! lol

    @KatyElle: I think it's the seams, as DeadUtopia mentioned. Combined with the harsh white shiny no-structure fabric, it would look like a disaster on anyone. I don't even think a store mannequin can make it look good.

    I have to agree with others. The front is hideous, and most of your pictures will be from the front.

    And I agree with a PP, would you really want to look back on your wedding and think abour Twilight? I mean, I personally wouldn't want a dress that is a replica of any one else's, but this would bother me way more than say a replica of Kate Middleton's dress... You want your wedding to be about you, not some movie!
