Spot the Steal: Floral and Striped Dresses


Stripes mixed with floral prints are an unlikely match made in fashion heaven, and some designers have combined the two within a single garment to make the whole print-matching task that much easier. See if you can guess which of these four frocks does the stripe-flower-dance for under $50 (and which two cost closer to $1,000 a piece!).
[1] Marc Jacobs Flower Applique Dress, $1,096,00 at mytheresa.com
[2] ASOS Stripe And Flower Print Long Sleeve Dress, $44.19 at asos.com
[3] French Connection Pixie Stripe T-Shirt Dress, $84.99 at asos.com
[4] Stella McCartney Flower striped cotton-blend dress, $895 at net-a-porter.com

#2 was my fav anyway. I like the 2 types of stripes and the pockets. So cute!

My least fave is #4. The flowers are just waaay too big.
I do love the Marc Jacobs dress, I'll wait for Forever 21 to do a knock-off :-)

#4 is hideous. Sad times, Stella.

#1 was my least fav, and I thought #2 would have been the most expensive. Guess I was wrong.

Not really feeling this look, regardless of the price tag. If I had to pick the best one, I would go with #3.

I really like #3 but not any of the others. Guess it's good that I have cheap taste!

#3 looks like a nightshirt, #4 looks frumpy, and I cannot do pockets in the particular configuration show in #2. I was really hoping #1 was the cheap one...

I LOVE #4! It's the most unique and unexpected - has a vintage feel.
#2 is also cute though :-)
