Dress vs. Dress: ONE By Contrarian vs. Rachel Pally

How about we have a little showdown today? Check out these two similar dresses from Shopbop. One is in silk while the other is in jersey, both are long, and interestingly, both have almost the same cut – a banded waist, flowy skirt, a skimpy front, AND an open back. One is from ONE By Contrarian and retails at a pricey $425, the other is from Rachel Pally and retails much less at $238. Take a look:

ONE By Contrarian Babs Bibb Maxi Dress, $425

Rachel Pally Long Cutout Dress, $238

See the resemblance?

So here’s the question for you. Considering the price difference, and of course the difference in materials used, which of these dresses would you grab?

In a way, if you base everything on price, the Rachel Pally would probably be your choice. But what if money was not a concern? Would you pick the much dressier silk creation from ONE By Contrarian? Or would you still stick to the uber comfy jersey dress from Rachel Pally?

Both dresses can be found at Shopbop if you want either of ‘em.
