Look for Less: Diane von Furstenberg's Zarita Lace Dress

Friday, September 30






Leave it to Zara (left, top and bottom) to create an equally chic but more affordable version of Diane von Furstenberg's super popular Zarita dress (right). Both bateau necked dresses are made from nylon and have fully lined bodies with sheer sleeves. They also boast exposed back zippers, though the DvF zipper is a two-way zipper (if you're into that sort of thing). Zara's version costs $59.90, compared to DvF's $325.00 price tag. I chose the splurge for my upcoming engagement celebration -- my mindset: you only get married once -- but under normal circumstances I would have opted for Zara's version.






S.S.W. Asks: Which would you choose?

The DVF is gorgeous but budget says it's Zara for me.

The DVF dress is absolutely stunning! But I like the Zara one too! I love a good lace dress!

I think I'd choose the Zara dress. I don't have a big budget for clothes as a student :/ But i love the details form the DVF dress

Love both of those and it's such a cool idea to have an engagement dress with just a hint of a bridal feel to it. Have a great party!

both lace dresses are beautiful! i would have opted for zara's too as it's much friendlier to the pockets :)
