Imagining Bella's wedding dress

The folks at InStyle approached several designers and asked them to sketch their respective takes on a wedding dress for none other than Bella Swan, the heroine of the Twilight series.  Now, I don't really think any of these really "fit" the character or her fondness for Chuck Taylors, but I do like the dresses by Monique Lhuillier and Christian Siriano (who is only 23 years old!  Good gracious!).  

And, I love fashion illustrations in general - such sweeping lines and impossibly long legs.

Check out the full gallery along with descriptions here.

i don't know bella swan but i like the 2nd dress with its asymmetrical straps and sleeves, intricate torso, and the simple, delicate layers of the skirt.
Yup that's the Christian Sirianos.  This kid is a design genius.
I like image seven in your photo gallery here, it's much more sexy and fashion forward. Although I think InStyle needs to come with better inspiration for designers than Bella Swan from Twilight. I'm just saying.
I do believe I agree with you.  And I should probably get over my twilight obsession too - HAH.
Lol! That's okay you're allowed to obsess. Hey... I obsess over The September Issue. So we're level. :)
Hmm.  Obsessing over Anna Wintour vs. obsessing over angsty teen vampires.  Doesn't quite sound level to me, but I'll take what I can get! ;)
Ahh, I LOVE fashion illustrations, too, and the second dress is FABULOUS.
@kaitlin Agreed!  The second one is definitely the best.  That Christian Siriano may be young but he sure is talented =)
