Victoria Beckham designs some quality clothing; surprising, right? I'm loving her bandage and peplum mini dress. The dress is definitely modern with cut-outs and contrast, but the colors and all-over shape (boat neck, cap sleeves) make it classic. Never one to go half-way, VB made sure this peplum mini dress would have a body-con fit, hidden pockets, and a double-ended zip fastening at back. And let's be honest - for almost 2 thousand dollars, I'd hope a dress would have details galore.

In comparison, Rare for ASOS has a fantastic - and affordable! - alternative. Check their paneled mini dress. A machine washable blend of 95 percent cotton, 5 percent spandex, this dress features a zip yoke (instead of back), cap sleeves, and a classic round neck. The colors are strikingly similar to VB's version, and the black on sides and back make this dress more figure-friendly. The dress features a deep v-back, and falls above the knee. And for just 72 dollars, it's budget-friendly.
