I’ve been waiting for months for this Marc Jacobs dress to show up in stores. It was the last piece in his Spring 2010 collection, which I honestly didn’t pay much attention to because I am weirdly anti-MJ. It wasn’t until I saw the dress on Christina Ricci that I became obsessed.

Well, the dress is finally here. With a price tag of $4800. The sheerness of the layers make the dress look like it’s drawn on, with squiggly black lines floating in the air. It also kind of makes me think of Pig-Pen. If Pig-Pen were a girl and had to go to a formal event, I think it would turn out something like this.

While I was waiting for the Marc Jacobs dress, I happened upon a similar dress by Fendi. It’s more practical, but not much more affordable ($2,990!).

Hard to imagine that the same dress would work on Ricci. But she looks completely different – not just the dress; it appears that she’s had major work done…
I want these impossibly expensive dresses. Boo for reality and budgets! Ricci definitely made me obsessed with the MJ one.
I am strongly anti-Jacobs too but this piece is so fierce in its twisted carnavalesque feeling…
so pretty! i like the fendi better too, though
i love that dress. iirc it was the only piece in that collection that really knocked me out. it is amazing.
Wow – these are sooo pretty!! Christina Ricci looks amazing in the MJ dress…who would’ve thought.
so pretty! i like the fendi better too
