I love this dress. I first saw this Marc Jacobs dress featured on beso - then the First Lady was wearing it. Good find!

I loved how Michelle Obama wore hers, such a fun summer option!

I'm going to guess the first one is real, just because of the way the material looks. But I actually like the stripes on the second one better!

I like both actually, my wallet actually prefers the 2nd one.

Great find! I guessed the first one was the real deal, but I think the budget find looks much more flattering on than the more expensive one.

I knew it was the top one because it is kind of awkward, and pricier brands tend to be like that... :-)
