Frugal Fashion Finds | Dupe Dresses

       Hola Guapas!   By now I should technically be sat on a sun lounger with a cocktail the size of my head, because BINGO this post was scheduled way in advance whilst I'm soaking up the last of the summer sun in Marbs!   So, before I jet setted off, I had been lusting after a Chi Chi dress, & after a long online window shopping sesh not too long ago I settled on the Megan dress being my favourite, not only for holiday but also as a perfect icy tone for around Christmas/NY time. However, after a quick swap over to Matalan (I am a self confessed Mata-holic) & a shop for a few basics, I stumbled across the Drop Back Lace Skater Dress which is almost a perfect copy of the Chi Chi Megan frock! I couldn't believe it!   Okay, so here are the facts:   Chi Chi Megan Dress £43.99 Lace Sleeveless Day, Evening, Cocktail And Party Dress
- Leaf Design On Lace
- Sheer Lace Straps
- V Neckline Front And Back
- Fully Lined
- Padded Bust
- Concealed Back Zip
Length From Side Seam : 26in / 66cms Model size unknown   Drop Back Lace Skater Dress £35.00 All over lace dress in mint features a sleeveless design with a v-shaped drop back and center back zip (also available in white) - Classic Lace design - Dramatic drop back - High neckline - Sweetheart neck detail - Bow detailing at base of dropped back - Fully lined in skirt & front of bust Shell: 59% Cotton 41% Nylon Lining: 100% Polyester Model wears size 10 height 5ft10   I have to admit from the photos, the quality of the skirt looks much higher with Chi Chi, I love the frilly seams that are so characteristic to their dress range. However, I am very partial to a dramatic drop back! - I just wish the bow was a little more dramatic too, had that been the case, I think Matalan would have been a winner for me. But for the sake of £8.99 I think on this occasion I would be more inclined to splurge!   Which dress would you prefer? Chi Chi or Matalan?   Bloglovin | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram
