UK retailer Lipsy London have recently added this haltered Ric Rac dress figure hugging mini dress with a double bow on the front to their website.
This dress – I’m sure you will agree – holds a strong resemblance to the Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2008 white dress we saw presented a few season ago.
It has the same neckline, bow and ric rac detailing but it doesn’t have the same price tag.
The Marc by Marc Jacobs dress was sold for $458/£345, but this blue Lipsy Ric Rac dress is only £65 and is also sold in black, pink, and white.

i guess what they say is true…imitation is the highest form of flattery
Have you seen their Alexander Wang-a-like, the dress worn by Diane Kruger, Sophia Bush, Lindsay Lohan et al? I admit I’m a little tempted.
