Either that, or Prom.
ITA about the material looking cheap. But the good news is, this helps move away from those effing strapless dresses some more.

I like it, it is different. I am no Kristen Stewart fan, but I could see her looking lovely in this.

I liked the dress, too. It was one of the few things in the movie that I actually liked (as opposed to things such as telepathically-arguing werewolves, which I liked to laugh at).
Loved the 1930s-ish feel of the dress, with the satin and geometric stitching on the front. And yes--yay for sleeves!

The dress was pretty, but holy hell! $35,000?? Really?? For a dress?? It's also not a dress that everyone could wear. I, for instance would look like crap in something that clingy and slinky.
Everybody at the theater I was at went "Whoa!" when they panned down to how low the back of that dress went. Hee!
Still hate the engagement ring.

I'm confused. Why does Jacob imprint on the baby and not on Bella? Is it some complex vampire "I saw her first" type deal?

I'm confused. Why does Jacob imprint on the baby and not on Bella? Is it some complex vampire "I saw her first" type deal? Plot convenience. This way the triangle is resolved with everybody 'happy' and Bella gets to have Jacob in her life forever. The wolves have zero choice on who they imprint on. It's not about seeing somebody first, or loving them first. The character Sam was in love with Leah but then he imprinted on her cousin and bam! No choice about who he loves anymore. It's like being under a compulsion spell and it's actually pretty horrible and one of the more annoying things about Breaking Dawn was that in previous books, Jacob and Bella saw imprinting as pretty horrible, but when Jacob imprinted on Renesmee, suddenly it was OK. I've always seen Jacob's ending as pretty sad because his mind isn't his own anymore.

Plus then the girl baby gets all the Powah in the relationship, so it's practically a Feminism Landmark! Did anyone see The Bloggess's post about the outfit she wore to see this? AWE SOME.

Are you sh^tting me? All this time I thought that was one of the redeeming qualities, that you liked someone and you chose to imprint--like werewolf marriage. It drives me nuts how many quality writers are out there and THIS RANDOM CHICK got rich for a horrible series (YMMV). I'm not even mad about the Mormon stuff--hey, that could be your thing, whatever. But her characters have zero depth. Anyway, I'm off to run my 8K, I won't let BD ruin it!

Didn't Jacob imprint on Renesmee to save her? They said it was wolf law that they can't harm someone whose been imprinted on by another wolf and up until he did that, they were planning to kill her because she was outside the vampire/wolf treaty or something, being a vamp/human hybrid. I haven't read the book so maybe it was presented differently, but that's the impression I got from the movie.
