DVF help
Permalink Closed


I'm looking for this DVF dress.  Does anyone know what season it was from or if it's still available?  I found a couple on ebay but I'm not sure about authenticity and I don't want a fake.  Any suggestions as to how I might go about finding it?  Thanks so much!

If you find out, be sure to let me know!  I posted about this exact dress a few months ago and couldn't find it anywhere.  I actually emailed DVF customer service and was told that dress is no longer made and won't ever be available again.  I tried calling stores like Saks, Neiman's, etc that had at one time stocked it, and they didn't have any left.


I checked out Ebay as well, but they all look fake to me, so I didn't want to take the chance.  The ones I found - the picture of the one they were selling looked very different from the pic you posted.


I still think about that dress, but now my only hope is finding a knockoff.  If you are able to find it, let me know!!


BTW - I think it's from the spring, it just sold out super fast.

I'm pretty sure it was Spring 2006. I remember seeing it one of the spring In Style magazines.

Awww :(  I'm guessing that if you couldn't find it months ago there's pretty much no chance of me finding it now.  I'm so sad because it's perfect!  I'm going to keep looking though and I'll definitely let you know if I find anything.  What size do you need?

I'm sorry - I hate to be the bearer of bad news.  I was crushed to learn I couldn't get it.  Thanks for thinking of me - I'm a size 4 if you stumble upon anything, and I'll keep my eyes peeled for you too!

Yeah, it was Spring 2006.  I found the runway photo.

This is close! Not as cute as the real thing but could maybe be a substitute?

You guys are great!  I like the arden b one and that cut is pretty flattering on me so I think I'll check it out. Lots of options if it doesn't work out.  Thanks

I think because there are a billion knock-offs of that dress, you'd actually be better served buying a DVF that is more unique and not as copied/trendy. That's just my opinion.

ITA.  I like the DVF one so much better than any of the knockoffs, but I'm going to settle for something similar and get a plain black DVF later this fall.
