Look-A-Likes for Less: Designer Detail

The Inspiration: Vera Wang, particularly the Gemma gown, with its shimmery "blizzard beading" that provides an ever so subtle sparkle that accentuates the body conscious mermaid silhouette, with a tumbled tulle flare.

Another detail of Vera Wang gowns that gets repeated is the use of sheer overlay stretching up and ever so slightly over the neckline, not only in the Gemma gown above but in these examples below.

The Look-A-Like for less: Watters gown style "Nina".
Nina shares many of the same elements of the inspiration gown, notable among them the sequined shimmer fabric, body conscious mermaid silhouette with messy flare, and the sheer overlay spilling over the neckline.
