Inspired by...Abaete

Becki Newton wore this ruffled Abaete dress to an All Star party in LA awhile ago. (Photo credit: People.com) I was unable to find the retail price of this exact dress, but Abaete will run you about $400+.


Now, this dress by Donna Morgan isn't exactly like the Abaete dress above...it has a belt for starters (although it's removable), and it also has a extra ruffle. But, it reminded me of the dress Becki Newton is wearing above, so I thought it would make a good "inspired by" find. It's currently on sale for $72 at Dillards and you can click the photo below to purchase.
