so as i mentioned in some other posts (here and here) how forever 21 is notorious for copying an idea or theme almost exactly as another garment, forever 21 has been spotted yet again. while on shopbop's website the other day, i came across this dress that had a striking resemblance to the dress i wore for this past new year's eve. the original of course - although made of better quality, richer colors, and with a longer hem - i really was able to see just how close the two dresses really were. take shopbop's halston heritage pleated evening dress vs. the forever 21 version of nearly the identical piece.
priced at $595
the dress on me, priced at $27.80
so you may not be able to completely tell in my photos, but the dress is really similar. the double layer, flowy, pleated fabric and the very similar rose/lavender/taupe color is pretty close too. and as expected, the forever 21 version, at a tiny fraction of the price.
oh forever 21, how we can't get enough of you for us budget friendly ladies.
xx.
