I see the layers on the Macy's version ripple. Your slim, young DD can get away with it but that's the feature that puts me off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparison-pics-bailey-44-dress-vs-chachavente-knockoff#post-496861 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 04:35:50 +0000 Parsley 496861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're welcome!<br /> And my daughter thanks you for your kind comments.</p> <p>Claire, Ha ha! Don't I wish that those pictures were of me!<br /> Debora, In my dreams I can wear a size small!</p> <p>Further comparisons:<br /> The Bailey dress definitely feels like higher quality. The fabric has a firmer stretch, which I think is part of the reason it's so flattering. The ChaCha one is softer, but DD likes the feel of the Bailey one better.</p> <p>The verdict is that she's keeping both dresses. She wore the Macy's version to dinner tonight, and it looked great. It was nice because she could take the jacket off and still look appropriate here in our winter weather. But for summer the Bailey 44 sleeveless version will be nice to have, and we both liked the longer length of it and the nicer fabric. Maybe it's crazy to keep two, but I think she'll enjoy both of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparison-pics-bailey-44-dress-vs-chachavente-knockoff#post-496857 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 04:26:31 +0000 velvetychocolate 496857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Couldn't help but post and say that Claire's post made me smile - it must be true...it's really Parsley in these isn't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparison-pics-bailey-44-dress-vs-chachavente-knockoff#post-496854 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 04:11:28 +0000 MNsara 496854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woohoo! They both look great and your daughter is such a sport :-)</p> <p>Being a bit on the short side, I'd lean toward the Macy's one for myself. . .</p> <p>Thank you for such a helpful thread!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparison-pics-bailey-44-dress-vs-chachavente-knockoff#post-496796 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 02:51:07 +0000 Anonymous 496796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Parsley, you're so modest. We know that's really you in those pics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparison-pics-bailey-44-dress-vs-chachavente-knockoff#post-496779 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 02:31:01 +0000 velvetychocolate 496779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - thank you so much for posting this side-by-side comparison. Both look great, but ..if I were going to order this dress, I'd go for the Macy's version, simply due to the cost-per-wear factor. I can tell that the Bailey 44 version is just that much nicer, but I have to admit - I'm impressed with the Cha Cha Macy's version. </p> <p>In the meantime - your daughter looks great in these dresses. Does she have a preference? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparison-pics-bailey-44-dress-vs-chachavente-knockoff#post-496776 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 02:25:08 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 496776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are fantastic (what a lovely figure!) but I like the Bailey 44 ever so slightly better. I think the way the layers fall is a little more flattering and from the side view they are less prominent.</p> <p>However the bang for your buck on the Macy's dress is immense! Thank you both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparison-pics-bailey-44-dress-vs-chachavente-knockoff#post-496760 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 01:52:34 +0000 Angie 496760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the Bailey 44 from the side. It looks like it has a better cut. Lies flatter. But I love DD in both versions. She looks KILLER! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparison-pics-bailey-44-dress-vs-chachavente-knockoff#post-496759 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 01:51:58 +0000 Debora 496759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both dresses look fabulous on her! My daughter has the sleeveless Bailey 44 dress and I've yet to see it on her. Are the dresses yours or your daughter's? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparison-pics-bailey-44-dress-vs-chachavente-knockoff#post-496756 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 01:49:56 +0000 cciele 496756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So the Macy's version is a bit shorter and the tiers stick up a bit? Is that what other people are seeing? Seriously considering getting this version... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparison-pics-bailey-44-dress-vs-chachavente-knockoff#post-496755 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 01:49:15 +0000 Suz 496755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that was sweet of her to model these for us. Please thank her! </p> <p>What an interesting comparison! You know, I like the second dress on her better, though I admit it's a bit unfair since she put on the foundations and then styled it. But both look smashing on her! Is she going to buy one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparison-pics-bailey-44-dress-vs-chachavente-knockoff#post-496754 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 01:46:19 +0000 Queen Mum 496754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmm, I"m not sure if it's the sleeves, but I prefer the Macy's version on her. Love how she styled it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparison-pics-bailey-44-dress-vs-chachavente-knockoff#post-496753 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 01:45:46 +0000 rae 496753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, thanks for this side-by-side comparison! Both look great on your DD - hm, now wondering if the small ChaCha Vente is too big on me... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/comparison-pics-bailey-44-dress-vs-chachavente-knockoff#post-496746 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 01:30:30 +0000 Parsley 496746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For any of you who were wondering about how the ChaCha Vente dress from Macy's ($49) compares to the Bailey 44 version ($188 w sleeves, $178 sleeveless), here are some pictures. </p> <p>The guest model is my daughter, who graciously agreed to let me post her pictures here.<br /> She is 30 years old, 5'8" tall, usually wears a size 6, and here is wearing size small in both dresses.<br /> In the first few she wasn't really planning to model and was not wearing, er, the proper undergarments ;-)</p> <p>1. Bailey 44 sleeveless<br /> 2. Bailey 44 side view<br /> 3. ChaCha Vente dress<br /> 4. ChaCha Vente dress with Frenchi tuxedo jacket, Dolce Vita booties</p> <p>Hope this is helpful! </p>
