My loves, to the left you will find Rebecca Taylor’s ravishing Strapless Silk Floral Print Dress (LIKE), the likes of which has been seen gracing Taylor Swift’s towering frame over the past few months; to the right you will find the Floral Corset Dress from ThreadSence (TRY).(WHY?) Though it lacks the flouncy skirt and silk construction of the tempting Rebecca Taylor offering; at just $38.00, in comparison to the $495.00 price tag dangling from its couture counterpart, it is every bit as blissful – and allows for the buyer to splurge on a new pair of strappy sandals to don with it!
Tell me, kittens…will you be a big spender and go for Rebecca Taylor, or be thrifty and spring for ThreadSence?
Fashionably yours!

No, no, I am not a big spender! I prefer ThreadSence!
This is so cute!! Yes some fabulous sandals are just what this dress needs!

I think with this one I'm a big spender!
how very, very pretty!
Since it's a summer holiday week, I'll go "couture." I like the way the fabric hangs on the Taylor dress.
I love the Rebecca Taylor style but I won't spend that much on a dress. I love that you were able to find an alternate with almost the same pattern. Happy Tuesday Erika! xoxo
These are nearly identical! Nice job. Sigh, I love the Rebecca Taylor one...ever since I saw on Taylor Swift!
I love that Rebecca Taylor one but not the price tag! Oh, and I think this is just such a cute dress idea. I love the colors and the little flowers. Topped with a cardigan this would be an ultimate date outfit.
i nearly always love the cheaper one!
Xxx
Oh la la. How beautiful! Love them both.
And you're so right about Taylor Swift's towering frame -- I had no idea she was such a long, lean swan until just recently.

As much as I like a good bargain, the Thread Scene dress doesn't have the "pizzaz" of the Rebecca Taylor number. So if money is not an issue, I'd definitely go with the splurge! Plus, who could resis a "flouncy" skirt ;o) ??
I love the Rebecca Taylor one, but the thread sence one is just as cute! Ilove this ability of yours to be able to find such cute things for so much less! :)
This makes me want a floucy floral dress for the summer, but I could never afford the Rebecca Taylor one. Luckily there's always a thrify option! Both are cute.
oh goodness..I think I'd go for the cheaper one..naturally. Both are so lovely. Of course, I'd still have the fear of coming out of it..somehow..scary swimsuit stories come to mind though..at the pool.
I will take the thrifty option, please. A lovely way to get my "baby floral" on...cheap :)
Happy Tuesday my dear :)

I have been in love with that rebecca taylor dress for some time now... so glad you found a cheaper version! :)
I love the Threadsence dress! I actually like it better. I'd definitely go for that one. You always find the best bargain dresses, Erika!
xo
Valerie
cute! And, did you know Liz from Late Afternoon is giving that dress away for free on her blog? Even a better price point! LOL

Man! I love that Rebecca Taylor one!! Ugh I need to be an oil tycoon (except not the kind who spills the oil in the ocean of course)
Whatayasay, Erika? Wanna be a socially responsibly oil tycoon with me?? Say yes! haha
Nice find, but I like the Thread Sence one better! Haha, of course.
Melanie@Unravelled Threads
both are adorable. i really love the rebecca taylor dress...even if it is slightly out of my budget. *sigh*
I much prefer the ThreadSence version! It's such a good copy and I like the fit a lot. Perfect for these hazy summer days we're having! :)
Hmm. I like flouncy...but I guess I like saving $450 even more. I'm going with the Thread Sence.
Nearly $500... Ouch! But I think the Rebecca Taylor dress is so gorgeous that I might save up for it. (or maybe I'd wait for the sales hoping it's still around)
Great finds, both, Erika!
I wish the other one had the skirt of the Rebecca Taylor one. It's so pretty!
Both are so spring and beautiful; i like the rebecca taylorone!
Kisses,
Stephanie
i'd have to be a spender on this one, but they are both incredibly cute!
I actually prefer the less flared skirt on the 2nd one. It's lovely. xx
Definitely the less expensive one! Though I do like the flouncy skirt on the Rebecca Taylor.

I prefer ThreadSence as well. This dress is gorgeous! wow.
Dang that's an amazing find, darling E!
Thrifty for me!
xoxox,
CC
wow just $38! That's such a great deal! I love it! xoxo
I'm going to have to splurge on this one! I love RT pieces!
I actually like the Thread Sence one better...how awesome is that!!
PS I totally finally found the romper I've been dreaming of today in my favorite French store Promod. Its got the 50s curve rather than the 70s slouchiness and is vertically pinstriped, very nautical with, get this, a girly pleat on the strapless top. I love it!
They're both very pretty. Although, I do love the style of Rebecca Taylor's so much more, so I'm definitely picking that one.
HOLY! that is a huge difference! Thanks for finding that! It's a fun frock indeed.

The Rebecca Taylor one is gorgeous and I find the silk material much more appealing, but I don't think the price tag is worth it, especially not in a floral style. Thread Sence is a perfect alternative!
This is a toughie, because I kind of like the volume of the skirt on the RT dress...
i love bargains!!! and florals! x
Rebecca Taylor always makes such lovely prints so my vote goes to that dress!
P.S I've been eating strawberries like crazy ;)
I'm gonna be a big spender on this one, I can't resist the flounce! :)
xoxo
Big spender. Rebecca Taylor in silk? Gotta get it. x

Lovely lovey lovely - I can't resist pretty pink dresses, can I have them both?? That would be ideal :)
Pretty! I'd be thrifty, just because I know I'd have to alter this by either making the, um, boobs smaller or adding straps. The RT just wouldn't be the same with straps!
I just want strawberry ice cream after seeing these. Wow, both are so cool.
i love all of rebecca taylor's designs, i actually splurged on one of her dresses; so i'm a supporter of her designs for sure! love all the feminine looks
ooo, I think on this one I would go the tightwad route as I kind of like the threa sense one more! they are both so cute but the other isn't work 500 I would say.
the rebecca taylor dress is beautiful! gorgeous fabric and fit. the other dress is cute thou. i wonder how they can get away with such blatent design copies sometimes!
I love them both!
I would have to get both (in my dreams)

I agree dear friend. We have been on the same wave-length as of late. I'd like to believe our great minds think alike :) Taylor Swift's style has indeed come of age.
Love the dresses in this week's Tuesday edition. So summery. and of course, hot!
i like the fit of the rebecca taylor but the print of the threadsence....
oh if only...
http://blair-waldork.blogspot.com
I would go for the Rebecca Taylor one, I love how the skirt flares out :)
I reckon I'd spring for the Rebecca Taylor (assuming I had the money of course) - it's just that tiny bit more special. Very tough options though. They look so similar. I love it when that happens, haha. ;)

woah this dress is amazing !
love the steal version too !
thanks for your entry in my We Love Colors tights giveaway
xx GLISTERS & BLISTERS
the thread scene is so much cuter! the cut is better !
This time I say Net-a-Porter as I like the flirty hemline. Pretty for summer - I should wear more floral... hmm...
I'd take the Thread Sence. Lovely florals!
I prefer the Rebecca Taylor's one ;)
Oh my such a tough choice!! On first glances I liked the Threadsence better, but the shape of the Rebecca Taylor is growing on me! Hmm better go with tightwad!
Both are very cute, flirty, and summery! Strapless is very tough for me . . . but I like them almost equally. Nice find Erika! <3
I've been in love with that Rebecca Taylor dress for a while now. But I just might have to snag that Thread Sence dress. It's affordable, cute, and perfect for spring! :)
thrifty. For printed dress or any dress with full motives, I'd rather buy something not so expensive. They're easily spotted. Unless it's a classy black dress or any solid colored dress with classic design, then I would splurge :D
You have such a fabulous blog here! I love the concepts you have and the comparisons you do :) So much fun girlfriend! XO
My goodness, this dress is like... the garment version of ME!
(Yet the cheaper one is so much cuter - does that say much about me? I hope not! Perhaps it means I am a good deal :D)
Good to visit again! I've been really busy!
omg taylor swift was wearing the same dress! im in love with this dress! the lightness..the floral the colour...i <3 it!
great post!
