A couple of months back we did a post on Camilla Belle’s gorgeous Max Azria Silk mini dress, but at the time we didn’t have a steal version for you lovely folks. I gushed over the color and the shape, the ruffle, the slit, and how perfect it all was for summer. One thing not so worship-worthy was and is the price. Also unfortunate is the fact that the dress is sold out. No wonder, really, considering how, well belle Miss Belle looks wearing it.

UPDATE (09/09/2009): And here’s a second alternative, also in red, by Type Z. Isn’t it beautiful? I really like the vibrant red color.

Esley There’s A Reason Party One Shoulder Dress

LuLu*s Miss Mitzy Mint Dress

Leave it to LuLu*s to feature a stellar knockoff of our Max Azria frock. They have the best mix of brightly colored, fun, summer dresses, don’t you think? Sure, their “Miss Mitzy Mint” dress is more of a turquoise than a green, but I think this bluer color is probably more universally flattering than the sea green of the original. This is the perfect dress to take you from the heat of a summer day to the very different heat of a summer night. Only $39!
