Though the Lush lovely sports pleating along the bodice, and lacks the ruffles upon the shoulders; for a mere $48.00, as opposed to the $158.00 needed to scoop up Calvin’s chic offering, it is just as capable of making one feel like a Greek goddess – whilst keeping the budget babe’s bank account intact!
What’s your stand, lovers…will you splurge, or save?
Fashionably yours!

I like the way the CK one drapes so I think I would go with that one. $150 is not bad for an LBD that you are sure to get a lot of wear out of.
I'd probably splurge just because for a LBD i find its better to pay that bit more and get great quality 'cos you'll wear it a million times :)
I like the Lush one better.
I really like LUSH better.
I like the LUSH one... although they're super similar! So perfect for a summer cocktail party.

Lov'n the LUSH dress.
i vote for the lush one! i don't like the upper part of the calvin klein one. ;(
it's almost exactly the same.. nice
hi darling. hope you're busy enjoying your weekend,
these are two nice dresses, but the prettiest one is the ck one ;) it's stunning.

I'd choose the Lush, and pair it over a pair of summer leggings ...
i like them both but i think i prefer the calvin klein one
I like the draping of the CK one better but neither would be flattering on my body shape so I would have to pass on both :(
I really like the Lush one. I like the pleated designs on it.
i'd have to splurge and go for calvin klein, it's stunning!
I already own the Calvin Klein dress, but I don't really see much diff besides brand labels between thetwo!

Both are Gorgeous, I would take the Lush one and save the rest towards one of those Beautiful wedges that you have been posting lately :)

I was initially going to say CK, because it's not THAT pricey, but when I checked, I realized that the material was polyester (same as Lush). Considering that, the price of the CK seems a little steep for what it's made of, so I'd definitely go for the Lush!
I actually like the Lush one more!
Cute dress <3
Ive found way too many great finds at your blog :P
I like the lush one more. It's a little girlier, and I like the tie it has.

I like them both, but I would get the Lush dress.

Oh, this is so perfect. LBD's are such an essential and these 2 look amazing. I love the Lush one: the pleats on it look gorgeous.
Such a fab dress! Super gorgeous!
Great blog!!! :) Happy Sunday to you!
I so love this SUNDAY STEAL! Its so dressy.
I think the lush one is prettier.
Honestly I am torn! I love the frills and fabric of the CK, but the gathered bodice and waist tie of the Lush. I think I just might have to sew my own version ;)
Hope you had a wonderful weekend, Erika.
I definitely want this dress now! I think the Lush is just as pretty. :)
So sweet. Love the LUSH dress.
Gotta say the subtle detailing and lines of the CK drawn me in and it's still a great price!

i like the cleaner finish of the calvin klein dress, but there's something fun and flirty about the lush dress.
I love the more floaty Calvin Klein shape... So pretty.

calvin klein all the way! I love that cut so much!
I think I'm still liking the CK one more coz there's not too much pleating going on and it falls nicer. :)

both are gorgeous - i like the idea of Calvin Klein but both are very beautiful!
i prefer the Lush dress since it has more pleats. i really love dresses with a thousand pleats.;]
I love the Lush dress a lot more.
These are both so cute and what a great price for the cheaper! Amazing find!! ♥

I love the sophisticated draping of the CK dress! Though the Lulu dress is a great alternative!
Both are chic. Black and ruffles never fail 'chez moi'.
Although both dresses look fab, I'm leaning more towards the Calvin Klein number.. An LBD goes a long way, so the price tag isn't too hefty.
Hope you're doing great Erika!
xx Love & Aloha
That dress is fabulous!
Wow those dresses are exactly alike and even the models look similar! hehe
i actually really adore the fit of the calvin dress!
I prefer the Lush version! It looks more flattering, especially with the tie at the waist.
$159.00 is not bad at all for CK LBD. But, I'm with a lot of people. I actually think the Lush one is more flattering -- at least from what I can see in the pictures.
