Ask BB: Selena Gomez's Irina Shabayeva Dress for Less

Posted by
Dianna Baros
My sister's prom is this year and we have been searching for a dress similar to the one Selena Gomez wore to the 2011 People's Choice Awards (shown below). The dress was designed by Irina Shabayeva, Project Runway's Season 6 winner. I can't seem to find anything close enough to it and I was hoping you would be able to help with the search. —Tina E





Selena looks so cute in that dress, I've been trying to find a similar hi-low gown for weeks! So far, this is the closest I've seen. But it's not cheap - it's $338 at eDressme.com:



La Femme at ShopStyle



Here's another option that might work for you. Although it's a solid color rather than a print, I think it's a gorgeous shade of blue and it will create the silhouette you're going for. It's $248 at Bloomingdale's:

If anyone knows where Tina can find the dress she's looking for, please let us know in the comments!

I found a few more but they are definitely on the pricier side:

From Allure Prom: http://www.cbslimited.com/allure-prom-dress-A409.htm

The next three are from Jovani Prom: http://www.cbslimited.com/jovani-prom-dress-158296.htm

And this one is my personal favorite from La Femme: http://www.frenchnovelty.com/p/LF16289/La+Femme+Ruffle+High+Low+Print+Chiffon+Prom+Dress+16289.html

I'll keep searching for something a little less pricey. In the mean time, good luck!

I couldn't locate one with a pattern either, but I love this one because of the sparkles on the top and short area...Plus it's 50% off so that always helps :-)

Found some more but they are much more expensive...

This one is amazing but your sister would have to love the bold yellow: http://www.peachesboutique.com/Prom-Dress-Jovani-7450.aspx

Prom dresses aren't cheap x.x

FrenchNovelty.com picks:

This one was the closet I could find in print/design. It's brighter and not as chiffon-y though. BB's first pick looks to be the closet so far really.

I saw some cheaper options on eBay but most of them are in China so it isn't always assured you'll receive it in time.

Yes! I have been waiting to see you try to tackle this dress! The options are good, but I want the real thing!!

David's bridal has a strapless hi-lo bridesmaid dress with beading at the waist. Style #F14197. It only comes in select colors but it fits great, and is under $200.
