Requested Dress for Less: Inspired by Jason Wu

Today we have a Dress for Less requested by Jaymee! She wanted me to find this Fall 2011 Jason Wu dress in a bright color with the slit!  I tried to find inexpensive options but I threw in a gorgeous expensive one too. It was also hard to find dresses with slits that still had the correct look down at the bottom...but I assume a tailor would be able to add a slit, maybe. The colors got a bit more muted when I saved them, so go to the product pages (linked below) to see actual color.
Marchesa via The Outnet $2090
Robert Rodriguez via The Outnet $358
ML Monique Lhuillier via Nordstrom $198

    Great choices, I love the one shoulder, and it's got the sexy slit!

    I'm not too crazy about the Marchesa for something that expensive I would expect more. On the other hand, ML by Monique Lhullier is fantastic - I can't believe its less than $200. I've always been a big fan of hers - she makes the most beautiful gowns (evening & wedding). Robert Rodriguez dress looks marvelous too.

    It's hard to find the perfect dress that looks similar but is less expensive, but you did a great job! <3

    I actually like the cheapest one the best! The color is so gorgeous. I think I'd be more likely to wear that color as opposed to a vibrant red.
