Fancy yourself a Bella Swan? Just days after Breaking Dawn hit theaters, the wedding dress that Carolina Herrera designed for Kristen Stewart to wear in the film is now being sold at Alfred Angelo. The WSJ reports that it was quite the covert operation:

Back in May, bridal retailer Alfred Angelo began working with Summit Entertainment to replicate the wedding dress in time for the film's November premiere, under a confidentiality agreement that designer Michael Shettel jokes was "signed in blood." The company, which used undisclosed code names for the Twilight dress project, limited its circle of principals involved to only about four people, the designer said. Mr. Shettel was also invited to the Los Angeles movie set to view the original dress. The "Bella" dress shipped secretly to stores, with photos and inventory unveiled today.

And guess what? It's only $799. You can gawk at it here.
