Stop the looms!
Kim Kardashian’s plans to divorce Kris Humphries after just 72 days of marriage may have left fans stunned, but production of her wedding dress replicas is still moving full speed ahead.

Vera Wang told E! News in September that two of the three gowns she designed for the newlywed's August 20 wedding would be recreated for her David's Bridal White by Vera Wang collection that hits stores in January 2012.
Kardashian's tulle gown and mermaid dress are slated to roll into David's Bridal locations a month later in February 2012 for around $1,500 each.

The question is, will brides who were anticipating the gowns' arrival still want to get decked out in creations that are tied to a short-lived marriage that ended in divorce?
"When [the dress] was going to be sold, it had to do with the fairytale wedding of Kim Kardashian. And it was a fairytale -- over 4 million people tuned into both parts when E! aired it [on October 9 and 10]. So there's real legitimate interest in this, but will it carry over to the sales of the wedding dresses?" The Wall Street Journal's Elva Ramirez says in a report.
Meanwhile, a source tells Us Weekly, "The gowns were 'inspired' by Vera's designs for Kim. They will still sell as they are beautiful gowns regardless of what's happened."

10NO.
I would buy it. And shorten the dress. real real short
Despite the controversy over the Humphries marriage the gown is very beautiful and should not dissaude any bride of wanting a replica of it. Because it was designed for Kim Kardashian Thomas Humphries by Vera Wang I think any bride would be proud to own it. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to watch the wedding when it was televised. However, I did view clips of it on line. It looked like a spectacular event. But of course nothing can rival the marriage ceremony of TRH The Duke and Duchesss of Cambrigde. Getting back to the dress my only criticism is that it should have been a different colour. The reason for that is this was her second wedding and she shouldn't have had a gift registry as well. I imagine the other gowns she wore were equally as nice but then again they too should not be white. This stye will always be popular because of Kim Kardashian herself one of biggest A-Lists Celebrities/Stars of the century. I can imagine this gown being put for auction at Sotheby's and sold for a very good price as well. By the way are there any DVD's of the wedding or can one watch a rerun of the wedding on line?
who the hell would want to buy a dress that has no good luck on LOL thats just ridiculous
first of all thats a very ugly dress to begin with, hell no i would never buy that dress, again shes trying too hard with that thing on her head she aint no princes or what ever she trying to look like. kate middleton was beautiful had a great dress compared to this thing. i knew they would not last at all i should had bet some money for it LOL, its very funny that her dress costs only 1,500 LOL
