SubscribeMarc Jacobs Knocks Off Department Store Nightgown?
I will never, for the life of me, even begin to wrap my mind around how Marc Jacobs became such a big name in fashion. Most of what I see from him, or most big names in fashion for that matter, just blow my mind–And not in that “Wow, that’s absolutely stunning!” way.
This dress is a new piece from Marc Jacobs, it is the Number 9 mini dress. It is said to be a take on the sports-couture look and consumers are told to wear it with heels for the “most balanced” look. Personally, I would say that for the most balanced look, this should be worn with a pair of pink fuzzy bunny slippers, since the dress looks more like what I’ve seen in department stores being sold as a nightgown. In fact, it looks as if this piece of clothing was taken from Target or Walmart, had one of its sleeves cut down the middle and someone threw a clutch purse and a pair of heels on the mannequin and said “There! That should give the customers a few laughs today.” The shoes, however, are great and I want them.
This dress was seen on the runway and can be yours for a mere $1,565.00.

Holly I loved this so much I had to add your link to my blog.
Nice dress. Surely for football fans for the ladies. Number 7 should be nice or 23!
Only $1,565.00 for such a lovely dress.. thats a dumping
I’m completely awed by this dress.
How in the hell to these people do it?
$1,565.00 for that?
and no body gets arrested?
totally insane! LOL! James
I don’t think I’ll buy this dress, even if I have two thousand bucks.
You know, that probably cost them $3 to make. It’d cost about $29 or so if sold by any reasonable brand. That’s just insane. However if I could make some ugly crap and convince people to spend thousands of dollars on it that doesn’t sound too bad.
OMG, $1,565.00 ??
Love the dress – but it is just too much to pay for it
You are so absolutely right! Just because something has a designer label on it does not mean that it deserves a home in anyone’s closet. And that dress was a prime example. Horrible!
this is so normal anyone could have design it. I could have done a better job. but you’re right, nice shoes.
It’s amazing what slapping a designer’s name on a t-shirt
will command for a price! But, then again, you know what
they say about a fool and their money!
Thanks for Pointing Out this Absurdity
I bough some designer jeans the other day and found out where they are really made. I was shocked. Look closely at paying top dollar for items that aren’t any better made than those at KMart.
Yes – Marc Jacobs is the best. My brother was his class mate at the Parsons School of Design in New York.
Apparently, his commitment to fashion and quality began in school where he relentlessly pursued and turned over top quality work.

Totally agree – the dress aint that hot but the shoes are a work of art.
