Marchesa and Couture Couture Face-Off!

I’m a big fan of both Marchesa and Couture Couture (how could I not!?). That said, I can’t decide what I think about Marchesa’s Ruffle bustier dress and Couture Couture’s Hand-Pleated Dress. First-off the two have an uncanny similarity. Am I right!? My initial reaction was that both dresses are rare missteps for the two lines, but then I thought about it a bit longer and now I’m thinking that with the right attitude both dresses could be fab. Also I’m not a fan of either of the shoes these dresses are pictured with and they’re both just screaming for accessories! I would love to see them paired with Oscar de la Renta’s Fan satin sandals and a bold diamond ring 🙂
