We had a bit of deja vu with this oddly striped dress, but we couldn’t quite place it.
Then Lauren Chiang emailed us with the same obsession, except she knew its roots:
The dress may have turned up at Forever 21, at Mandee, at Strawberry, and on street corners, but it started last season on the Tibi runway.
Net-A-Porter has it (at left) for $369.
Meanwhile, we spotted it yesterday at a stall on Broadway for $10.99.
That brought out another mystery:
Was this dress really such a hit that it got girls craving knock-offs?
We love Tibi, but we don’t get it!

hmm. I like the knockoff better. odd that it should be the more tailored of the two.
