Luxe or Less?
Check out these two gowns! Like long lost identical twins…
Left: Kenneth Pool ‘Degas’ gown — Right: Forever Yours/Couture Now & Forever Style 48244
For those who love luxury, high quality fabrics, hand beading and the name Kenneth Pool, the dress on the left is a gorgeous dropped waist ballgown made of empress satin. The gown on the right, is pretty much an exact replica at a less expensive price point. The Forever Yours/Couture Now & Forever gown is made of matte satin and has the same ballgown silhouette. The details are even the same—the beading under the bust and at the dropped waist, and the crystal beading down the back of the train (not shown).
So if you’re looking for luxury and a designer name then the Kenneth Pool gown is all for you. And if you simply want the style without the cost, Forever Yours makes a wonderful replica.

When looking for a wedding dress, I tried on the Kenneth Poole dress shown above, and I fell in love with it. It was a dream come true, however the 6500.00 gown was nowhere near my budget. I cried because I wanted this gown. The consultant then brought out its replica, also shown above. She insited that I tried it on. I was not too excited because she hadn’t told me that this was the dress. When I tried it on, my heart dropped. i couldn’t believe this dress. It was love at first sight,a dn it was 990.00. What a deal.
