Ask BB: Stella McCartney's Miracle Dress Look for Less

BB: Stella McCartney's so-called miracle dress is hugely popular with celebs like Kate Winslet for its magical slimming properties.

While Kate's now sold-out dress cost $1,600, you can get the look for less from ASOS, whose bodycon side-panel dress is $71.62:
