Model Gisele Bundchen wore this Herve Leger white bandage dress to a Vogue event awhile back. Exact retail price is unknown, but most Herve Leger dresses start around $1500 and go up from there. (Photo credit: Top News)


If you've been looking for a similar dress for less, you're in luck. Karmaloop has a BBDakota dress that is a great alternative (although not available in white) and retails for a much lower $65. Click here to purchase (also comes in pistachio green).

This Marc by MJ Joelle dress originally retailed for $458 at Bergdorf Goodman, but is no longer available. Leighton Meester wore this dress as Blair on the season 2 episode of Gossip Girl titled "Summer Kind of Wonderful" (photo credit: Instyle).



This dress by French Connection is a great inspired by dress if you like the Marc by MJ version above. The ric rac detailing is super similar, and althought the neckline and color are different, it's a beautiful dress that definitely brings the Marc Jacobs version to mind. It retails for $228 and you can click the photo below to purchase.
