WIW : Dress Duplicate - YouLookFab Forum

Hi Fabbers,

I got this dress in black last year and have worn it a lot. It's one of those dresses that is quite versatile. I have worn it over leggings, bare legs, with the tie tied and with it loose and I have worn jackets and long vests over it.

So.... the designer re-released the dress this year, doing the black again but also Sapphire Blue! Need I say more lol

I have a wedding coming up and I think this just might be what I will wear. I feel it's quite wedding appropriate. I would probably style it for the wedding very similar to how I wore it here, maybe change the accessories.

The dress is from Lulu Manna, a small independent designer in Sydney. She is a gorgeous girl and designs very modern, elegant, 'grown up' clothing. I'm a big fan.

What an awesome dress! You can see the tie detail so much better than on the black one... in photos anyway. I think this would be perfect or a wedding. Your necklace is perfect with it.

I'm going to have to start ordering clothes though you, you are finding such fantastic pieces!

Wow gorgeous! I think this is totally wedding appropriate. I like it accessorized like you have it and could also see it with metallic accessories.

I would wear this everyday no lie. I love this shade of blue on you. I can see why you bought it in a different color. Don't you just love a great duplicate? I'm going to look for her designs on the web. I have a envy of clothing right now.

Jane

Fabulous! Great colours, especially with the red lipstick. Totally wedding appropriate!

The brand looks to have some lovely pieces.

Sara L.

Great dress! I love the bold necklace with it. I think it would be perfect for a wedding.

Deborah - what a gorgeous dress in an incredible color!! I love your description - "elegant and grown up" clothing! Why are sophisticated, architectural pieces so difficult to find. I adore the sleeves and the tie is really interesting but perfect way to change up the fit. I can see this being spectacularly versatile. Wish I could find something as perfect, elegant, interesting but clean, minimal, but special like you did!! Kudos girl for finding a designer who "gets it"!! Enjoy your fabulous dress!!

skylurker

Wow, a stunner. And you styled it beautifully.

Dianna

The dress is gorgeous, and it looks perfect on you.

Amazing color on you and a trusted avante garde style dress, especially with those block heel shooties, wow! Do you have an undercut on a side Debs, that is also very very edgy!!Love all! Thanx for posting again!:-)

Sal

This is lovely Deborah, the colour is divine and the draping just right.

Joy

Stunning. A gorgeous color and in your style. It looks great as you styled it for a wedding.

Firecracker (Sharan)

The dress is gorgeous on you. This shade of blue is stunning with your coloring, and it's a great way to duplicate. Yes, I can see it going to a wedding in style.

Deborah

Elizabeth P thank you. And yes the detail is much easier to see on the blue. And I'd be very happy to be your personal shopper anytime Not that I want enable but she does ship overseas

Robin thank you and yes metallic accessories would be a great combo.

Ledonna that is exactly how I feel. I could wear it everyday lol.

Jane, thank you. Yes they have lovely designs and she follows slow fashion model, releasing her seasonal range and then adding 2 or 3 new items during the season.

Thanks Sara. I will be nice not having to think about what to wear to the wedding.

Thanks so much Karie. Could so see this colour on you

Thanks Gryffin, yes she totally 'gets me' and its not often that you find edgier design in colour.

Skylurker, thank you.

Dianna, thank you.

Thanks Lyn, and yes I have had an undercut both sides for almost 12 months and I love it. I have to pop into the salon every couple of weeks tho to keep it looking good.

Thanks Sal xx

Joy, thank you.

Thanks Firecracker, looks like the wedding is sorted.

That dress looks incredible on you. I totally understand your desire to duplicate. I just duplicated a dress I already had in my closet, only in a different print, because it's "me." The style is so right for me. And this dress that you duplicated is perfect for you. Great choice!

Mirjana

Dress is extraordinary, divine color, gorgeous on you , in your style, love it.

JuniperGreen

STUNNER! (And your shooooes!!!)

Aquamarine

Another fan here. It's really gorgeous on you. I know you love black, but this color is lovely, and the dress will stand out at the wedding.

fathenry

Beautiful! That color looks just stunning with your hair. You take such nice looking photos too, wow!

Gigi

This color looks amazing on you. This looks like it will get a lot of love.

rachylou

Simply fabulous

Beth Ann

You know I'll love this --- just for the color alone! It is very chic and easy to wear, and I'm sure it looks quite different than the black. Good idea to duplicate!

jill58

Gorgeous. I cannot imagine a more perfect dress for you to wear to a wedding. As others have said, your necklace looks wonderful with it. I love your style--so sophisticated.

harmonica

YLF! Of course you had to duplicate! Love how you styled it. So good to have the wedding outfit sorted.

Lyn D.

LOVE this dress!
The new colour will make this one not a duplicate but a perfect addition to your closet.

Lisa

I'm enjoying following you on IG. I'll repeat myself here because that blue color really is stunning on you and worth repeating the praise.

Runcarla

So glad to see COLOUR - I am not a fan of black for weddings. What a gorgeous way to dress up. Stylish, artistic, womanly, confident - just amazing, Deborah.

Bijou

This is a great dress to duplicate, you look beautiful. The dress really does look quite different in the blue. Perfect for a wedding or anytime when you would like to look amazing. I love the accessories too, just perfect with the dress.
