Real vs. Steal – Funktional Cage Dress

by Irina on August 25, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on August 25, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

Ever since Rihanna wore this caged mini dress by Funktional it quickly became a topseller and soon sold out everywhere because the dress wasn’t only stylish, but also quite a steal at $85! If you’re desperately trying to get your hands on the original, you may still order it at StyleQ, BUT (and there’s always a but…) the dress won’t ship before July 15th, 2010. Can’t wait that long? Read on then…

ASOS Cage Shoulder Zip Back Top

ASOS knows you love Rihanna’s style and/or the caged look, so they went on to create their own caged dress whereas they shortened their version and simply made a top out of it. It’s not that much cheaper than the original, but since that one wasn’t overly pricey in the first place I still think we have a bargain buy here.

I ordered the Funktional dress for StyleQ today. I’m usually a Size 8, but according to the size chart on the site, I could either do a Medium (corresponding to a size 6) or a Large (corresponding to a size 10). I called Customer Service and asked whether this specific dress runs large or small, since I’m not familiar with the label. The guy on the phone said it was pretty true to size, but recommended I do the Large. I love it, but it is scheduled to ship out on July 15th, so I have to wait awhile to report on it…
