Which one of these things is not like the other?

Tuesday, October 13




















A couple readers alerted me to this interesting fact....

What's different in this picture?

The price. One is $25, one is $53.

Am I wrong but are these not the same dress only with better staging and lighting on the left?

But it here. Or....if you like to spend more money buy it here.

So can I just say that I'm proud to be the one that contributed that little tidbit of information!! :) I didn't see them side by side... but now that I do, it's ridiculous how they are the EXACT same dress!!! Craziness!!!

Well technically the buttons are different... dark blue on the $53 one and covered on the Forever 21 version. I am hesitant to trust Forever 21 with dresses, though; their stuff tends to fall apart. I guess they used the same manufacturer, though??

Either way, it's a beautiful dress!

I bought a dress from Modcloth and was disappointed with the quality. I would suspect it wasn't any better quality than the Forever 21 version.

Forever 21 has actually been involved in quite a few lawsuits for allegedly copying designs from well known designers. So I'm kind of not surprised to see this. However, I still prefer to save money, so it doesn't bother me much. I like to change my style often enough that the outfit really doesn't have to last that long anyway. I spend more money on the basics that I want to last forever.
