Ripoff!

Today's ripoff is a bit old, I'm getting slow!

Vogue 8805

Vogue 8805 is a super popular, super cute dress. Its also pretty basic, so maybe, just maybe its a coincidence that its look a lot like....

Preen

This Preen dress! I mean for heavens sake, they choose a similar color story, its not a coincidence.

Ripoffs

I was not expecting this to be a ripoff because I hate this pattern.

And I certainly wasn't expecting it to be a ripoff of Armani!

Armani, Spring/Summer 2012

A white silk, boob framing, JUMPSUIT! I do have to give Vogue credit for not making a jumpsuit pattern. That would be just too obvious of a ripoff, plus it decreases the chance for this heinousness to be further released onto the world.

Ripoffs

Most ripoffs are done under the 'nameless' patterns, this one's under a named designer, Marcy Tilton. And not that I'm complaining, I love this pattern and its the only Tilton pattern I've ever had a positive feeling towards.

Vogue 8904

Now the original could very well be another designer, but this dress takes after the extremely popular dresses being sold on Anthropologie by Bailey 44. Seriously, these things sell like hotcakes there.

Ripoffs

We all know many sewing patterns are ripoffs of designer clothes (and many designer clothes are ripoffs of other clothes and so on...), this one surprised me.

The Carven version.

Vogue 8900 is an actual dress. The original is by Carven and is made using a rafia tweed in a red that Vogue managed to match pretty perfectly.
