Attention to all those that eat… oh I don’t know, 500 calories a day! This 1/2 a yard of fabric is for you. And for the record: I AM NOT HATING! I, too, can wear this dress (with Spanx, of course – sadly I think the Spanx may be longer than the dress). C’mon, there just isn’t a lot of fabric to this simple yet sexy James Perse dress. That’s why I will leave this tiny little dress with the not-so-big price tag for those with a little body and a not-so-small ego! You go, girl.

ASOS Body-Conscious Dress with Scoop Neck
Don’t cha just love ASOS? A rare retailer who understands that sometimes less is well… LESS! Especially true when it comes to this body-con clone. My God, did they actually make it smaller? Yes, they did. Or better yet: Oh no, they didn’t! 
Oh well, glad to see that the price tag is just as tiny as the dress. At only $36, unite skinny chicks of the world – buy it in all three colors: red, purple and black.

Hervé Léger has made a big comeback in recent seasons (now with BCBG designer, Max Azria at its helm), truly pioneering the hugely popular “body-con” dress. A trend defined by its bandage, super-tight frocks, it’s sort-of ironic to think that “body-con” stands for “body-conscious”. Somehow, however, Hervé Léger dresses manage to flatter a woman’s body, hugging and sucking in, in all the right places (just look at how amazing that Saks model looks below!). Lamentably, while I’d love to own one of his creations, I’d have to sell a kidney to make it happen.

Express Metallic One-Shoulder Banded Dress
Express to the rescue! We discovered this little number on the fabulous, like-minded site, The Look 4 Less. Express usually wouldn’t be the first place I’d turn to in search of a knockoff dress, however they HAVE been in the sexy-dress business for a long time and they happen to have really nailed it with their Metallic One-Shoulder Banded Dress. With a fabulous shape and beautiful golden-nude color, this garment is a great knockoff of the Hervé Léger original and for less than $80 this is a dress I can actually afford.

Believe it or not, but Victoria Beckham has established herself as a respected designer in the fashion world. She sure is no second Alber Elbaz (Lanvin), Riccardo Tisci (Givenchy) or Stefano Pilati (Yves Saint Laurent), but she has a huge celebrity following and as soon as anything VB hits the virtual shelves of NET-A-PORTER it’s almost all gone by the end of the day despite the ridiculous price tags. I mean, the cashmere dress below is pretty and all, but I don’t see myself paying $3k for it. No way!

ABS Seamed Peplum Dress with Brooch
If you want to update your office wardrobe with such a secretary chic sheath dress, but don’t have $3.000 laying around, ABS has a great, almost identical alternative. They added a brooch, but I think it looks quite cute on the dress. Very Jackie O.

Megan Fox. Who hasn’t heard of her by now? While her acting skills can be questioned one thing that speaks for this pretty young thing is her incredible beauty. Guys want her and girls want to look like her. Back in June Megan made an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman looking stunning in a black plunge Hervé L. Leroux bandage dress. Old Hollywood curls, flawless makeup and matching black Courtney Crawford slingbacks completed Megan’s sexy look. Wowza! This girl certainly knows how to work the media.
