i have to say that sometimes people dont actually realise its a 'rip off' of another designer

I feel rather sick. It looks ugly and now makes me question whether i was 'brand' seduced & in reality my tsubi top is just as ugly
I'm baffled to how they can do it too. My theory is that most of the stuff is last season so its not direct competition?
I actually got the reverse rope dress. I've avoided all the other knock offs because they look hideous and cheap, but the reverse dress actually looked better than the tsubi one on me. I tried on the tsubi one when it first came out and it just looked like a potato sack on me, and I didnt like the pattern on the back of the tsubi one (the reverse is just plain white).
The front design is a blatant knock off though

I wont be wearing it again for a while, I only got it on Monday and then went shopping in it this morning. I was stopped by a 40+ year old wearing the same top with cork platforms and no pants/leggings/jeans/whatever underneath and it was not a good look.
I've learnt my lesson

I've learnt my lesson while some of the reverse copies do look cheap, i have to say most of their "rip offs" aren't that bad in quality. I was actually quite surprised at the quality of the indiana dress. It's not too bad - and for $59 what can you really complain about ... the dress is cotton and the fabric would be nice and cool to wear. I wouldn't hesitate on wearing their indiana dress out or to a dinner were i needed to dress up a little. the cut of the dress is good too - the SA said he was suprised that pretty much every girl that tried it on looked great in it.
but i do have to say, the fabric on the LAID copies which much thiner than the indiana, but i still think it was quite cute. and living in brissy, the lighter the material the better!

I saw that indiana copy in a shop on Bridge Rd about 3-4 weeks ago! I cant remember the name of store or where exactly it was located...pretty sure if you are coming from the city it is on the left hand side few shops down..lol not much help sorry. Anyway if you have a chance maybe have a look down there, they may still have some
