Carrie Bradshaw's wedding dress ... now for sale in Charlotte

Bookmark and Share

Minus the bird for the head. And it doesn't come with any of that Big drama, of course (unless you want it).

But you, too, can have the Vivienne Westwood dress that helped make Carrie Bradshaw get a little Bridezillaish over her wedding to Big in "Sex and the City: The Movie."

The dress is for sale at Hayden Olivia Bridal in Charlotte. The store was one of three boutiques in the country to offer what's become the famous wedding gown.

What's so special about it other than the obvious? It has exaggerated darts, a slim-fitting waist and pointy, sculptural details. The top is based on a corset made of a gold backed ivory silk satin duchess. The underskirt is made of ivory silk faille.

Westwood has committed to making about 30 custom versions of the dress.

Cost? $15,000, which includes optional fittings with Vivienne Westwood designers in London. (It's around the same amount as a Vera Wang gown, only with this dress, you get to say it's the Carrie Bradshaw.)

Want to schedule a fitting? Call 704-333-0377.

Choosing the style of your wedding dress really depends on the individual. Some people go for a stylish simple design whereas others go for a full-blown traditional white wedding gown with a trail that seems to go on for miles. It obviously depends if you have been married before also, as generally only white wedding dresses are worn for the first time
someone gets married. You should try and spend as much time as you can making sure your wedding dress is perfect as you will be having many photographs and even a wedding video taken so that you will be able to look back many years in the future and see exactly what you looked like.
