Identity Parade: Blue bubble hem dresses
It’s time for another Fashion Police Identity Parade, folks. Two dresses stand before you. Both are blue. Both are bubble-hemmed. Both are strapless. But one of these dresses is suspected of being an expensive, designer number, while the other is but an impostor. Which is which? Leave your comment below and tell us which is the designer bubble hemmed dress?
(And don’t forget to check back tomorrow for the answer!)
The Answer! (Don’t look if you still want to play!)
Well, you’re a clever old bunch and most, if not all of you, immediately realised that dress A was the designer, while dress B is the imposter. Interestingly enough, though, a lot of you said you still liked dress B better, so clearly you’re not influenced by designer labels!
Particular props to Sophie, who was first to guess the identity of both dresses. As Sophie commented:
Dress A = Oscar de la Renta’s strapless bubble cokctail dress, $1866
Dress B = Goddiva’s ‘Jennifer’ dress, £45
ITS DEFINATLY A
The left one is the designer dress. Don’t know, why I think so. I like the right one more, it has more shape of a body than the left one.
I think it’s A, but B is prettier.
It’s hard to say because B looks like it has some sort of contouring and/or was photoshopped off a dress form, which gives it the different shape and makes it difficult to tell. I wish the pics were both from a dress form. I’d say the dress on the left because of the v shaped asymetrical darts vs. the simple princess seams plus the fabric looks like it has a better drape and is more $$$$$.
thats a toughie…i think B is the designer dress.
It has to be A, based on the simplicity of B. Knock offs are almost always more simplistic than the designer they are copying.
I believe Suspect A is by Oscar de la Renta.
And Suspect B is the Jennifer dress from Goddiva.
I think it’s dress b.
Yep, it’s A.
I think it’s dress b.
mmm I think A is the designer because of the fabric
A looks more expensive. It appears to be a taffeta or raw silk, where B is obviously satin, and probably a polyester satin. It’s also got that V seam, which is much, much more difficult to sew properly than the simple princess seams on B.
But, still, I like B better. The brighter color and more defined waist make it look a little more fun.
Dress A is from Oscar de la Renta. Dress B is _______. Dress A looks nicer, Dress B kinda looks tacky to me.
i think A is the designer dress though its not on a dress form you can see the attention to detail with the V princess line and fabric looks better. B will be easier to mass produce!
A looks much nicer. I think it’s A.
Dress A is, without doubt, the designer dress. The draping is noticeably more refined. Looks made of finer quality satin, in a color with much more depth.

The answer has now been posted underneath the pictures of the dresses – but keep on guessing if you still want to play
