Buying an expensive dress is a real holiday for every girl. What if the dress is incredibly expensive, but at the same time does not meet the requirements of style and modern fashion. Today we offer you our own selection of terribly expensive dresses from TsUM, which also look very “not very good”.
What dresses in TSUM are unreasonably expensive
The time for New Year's corporate events and home parties is coming soon, where every woman wants to look stunning. Most of us go shopping before the holidays to... buy “that” dress for yourself, in which it is pleasant to make dreams and plans for the next year. But sometimes even premium products that cost a lot of money leave you disappointed.
To be fair, I would like to note that the article describes only my humble opinion, formed on the basis of my own tastes. For some, the suggested outfits may be ideal.
Tom Ford, 485,500 rubles
Let's start with the “cheapest” dress in this rating, which cannot be called a full-fledged dress. It rather looks like a tunic from the shoulder of some fortune teller. I note that The product is presented in two versions – in black and orange colors. The original design applied to silk georgette using a special technology leaves no chance of finding a similar item.
Stylists suggest wearing the product with classic straight black trousers and complementing the look with pumps with thin heels. An elegant clutch will be the finishing detail. The only good thing about the dress is that the unusual print completely compensates for the lack of jewelry on the model.
Balmain, 488,000 rubles
The second lot is an ultra-short outfit in rich yellow color, which is perfect for New Year's Eve. It is bright, catchy, seductive, but at the same time cut resembles a package of not too expensive candy. The sharp angles at the top of the skirt, which create a kind of frame, and the padding on the chest look completely ridiculous.
It’s hard to imagine that French craftsmen are asking just under half a million rubles for it. Meanwhile, the cost of the dress is 488 thousand. It is made of silky satin, viscose and silk, pleasant to the body, but looks completely ridiculous.
Balenciaga, 561,000 rubles
A dress from a famous world brand worth more than half a million rubles is like a symbiosis of two completely different products. The back looks like it was created from a mourning outfit made of thick black jacquard - it is longer, reaching to the knee.
The front part is made of flowing satin, reaches mid-thigh and is decorated with an original mimosa print. And this part looks more festive and feminine.The designers suggested wearing the dress with flat boots, which further adds dissonance to the look.
Dolce&Gabbana, 599,500 rubles
The stakes are rising, and on the fourth stage there is an expensive dress from the famous brand Dolce&Gabbana. This is more of a summer option: it can be worn with thick-heeled sandals and a small straw clutch bag. However, I would like to note: it looks like a piece of canvas with a giraffe appliqué attached. Perhaps this is true, but they are selling us this “beauty” for almost 600 thousand.
Ralph Lauren, 692,000 rubles
Another pseudo-summer dress that looks like an explosion of colorful balls in a cloudy sky. Floor-length, made of leather and polyester, with an indistinct corset, belt and transverse seams in the hips and knees. Gradually it expands downwards.
Thin organza over a thick base looks very cheap and outdated. This would only be suitable for an inexperienced student at a school prom.
Giorgio Armani, 698,000 rubles
Continuing the ode to romanticism, a dress from a global brand was presented, from which no trick was expected. But this coral “miracle” with a huge flower on the bodice is amazing. The only thin strap looks like it's a second one accidentally came off and they decided not to notice it. And the pleated fabric itself gives the impression of being heavily wrinkled.
A huge advantage of the model is its naturalness. It is made from 100% silk. And we’ll make a small allowance for the fact that the model is still from last year’s collection, and therefore does not quite meet modern standards.
Tom Ford, 699,500 rubles
Another masterpiece from American designers who amazed the public with their stylistic preferences.This time the cut does not raise any serious questions. It's really beautiful though Doesn't fit the model very well.
The sequins with which the entire surface of the dress is embroidered greatly weighs down the image. A loose corset with thin straps will look good only on girls with large or medium-sized breasts. But the color is truly terrible. It was possible to make a slightly lighter, more delicate shade or reconsider the rich tones of fresh grass, but no. The stylists decided that this version of green would look most advantageous.
Valentino, 745,500 rubles
Fashion mastodons have not escaped my rating today. An expensive dress made of wool and silk, decorated with a botanical print, immediately catches your eye on the pages of the catalogue. The cut is pleasant, classic, straight, suitable for any body type. The length is also perfect: just below the knee.
But the design on the dress is reminiscent of the appliqués that children make in kindergartens and primary schools. The lines are fuzzy, as if the artist’s hand was shaking a little or he was unsure. The flowers depicted look strange.
Zuhair Murad, 831,000 rubles
An interesting, but extremely difficult to perceive dress, as if made from pieces of multi-colored glass or mirror. Actually it's huge handmade sequin embroidery. The deep neckline, open back and high sleeves reminiscent of butterfly wings further enhance the look.
Valentino, 1,850,000 rubles
The record holder of today's rating is Valentino again. Strange dress that looks like a Christmas tree with carelessly selected decorations and homemade snowflakes cut out of paper.
The fitted model is made of flowing mesh material and is hand-decorated with lace and embroidery, textile butterflies, beads and sequins. In general, the picture turned out to be very disjointed. But for lovers of such variety, a fabulously expensive dress will be suitable as an evening dress for a social event.
As of today, this is all that could be found among the TSUM catalogues. The rating, of course, is not complete. In my opinion, you can find even more models, including from famous brands, which completely do not correspond to the price stated on them.
This is a purely personal opinion of the column author. But many of the dresses presented are very beautiful, especially the last two on the list. It’s just that not everyone is given the ability to wear such things. I'm not even talking about the astronomical price tags.
All dresses have the right to life, they’re not that scary, I just don’t like the green ones. But! It bothers me that for these masterpieces, which any of our good cutters and seamstresses can bring to life, they are asking SUCH money.For many Russians this is crazy money! People receive maternity capital in this amount simply to buy their own home or improve their living conditions! Full of game! World has gone mad! Handmade carpets made from natural materials that are woven by hand for six months are cheaper!
I agree with the previous comment. I also liked the last two dresses, and with a giraffe!)
Beautiful dresses! I already “see” some of them on Kate Middleton :))
In her youth, my mother could afford to travel to Moscow from a village in the Nizhny Novgorod region and buy herself a coat and winter boots. And I can only afford photos under the dome of the Central Department Store.
Personally, I liked some of them, especially the last one. Moreover, the color and the style... well, I like everything. I would put it on without words and be happy.
These trendsetters have very expensive prices. I don’t even dare try on something like this.
I WILL ACCEPT ANY DRESS AS A GIFT!!!! I promise careful care, I will walk you often and with pleasure?
The dresses are really ugly plus abnormally expensive!
During the day you won't find a good cutter or seamstress. Besides, what does high fashion and cutters have to do with it? You can copy dresses from Dior, no one bothers you.
Some dresses are really ugly, but some are beautiful. I don't understand why their price should be criticized.
I also liked some of them, even very much. Yes, expensive, but not ugly, I would look at the author’s wardrobe out of curiosity.
P.S. If you can’t buy it, you can always sew it.
Beautiful dresses for people with a certain lifestyle. You can't go on the subway like this. What price should designer (world-famous) items have at TSUM? Nowadays you can choose clothes for every taste and budget.
There are people for whom this is a completely reasonable price for things, and they simply buy and wear them.
I agree with your opinion, I support it.
I liked the last two... And I think that the people who buy and wear it have a certain social circle, where people are accustomed to designer things, and their perception is completely different. What is unusual for us and we think where we could wear it, is commonplace for them. For example, go to a restaurant in Monaco, where these outfits will be quite appropriate.
I agree about taking pictures under the dome. I’m not a political scientist, but, honestly, what has the country been brought to? How is this possible with a minimum wage and pensions for people of 15-20 thousand rubles, and pensions are even less, such price tags are 800 thousand. Million. I understand that there are great and talented people, businessmen and just thieves, but somehow this does not fit with the general situation in the country. Just a cry from the heart.
I liked Ralph Lauren and the last dress. I don’t think that for that kind of money there is crackling cheap polyester.
Zuhar Murad's dresses are always beautiful! All this sparkling embroidery with sequins and beads is just space. I liked it - it’s beautiful and the sleeves are wonderful. It will look great on a slender girl (but, of course, a madam with a body would wear it)
And Valentino's last one is great too. So tender, summery.For a reception at some French estate outside the city.
Balenciaga with mimosas is just the bomb! I would wear this. It looks very interesting. If only he had heavy high boots to go with it.
The rest is very strange. I don’t even know for what image and lifestyle. Pink Armani and green Ford - in 2010, our entire school at graduation wore similar ones, bought at the nearest market.
KIRA, What does it have to do with bringing the country and the death toll?
There is a brand. Not ours. Makes a certain thing for which they ask a certain price. An item is put up for sale in a store.
Or if everyone has a pension of 15 thousand, then nothing can be more expensive than 500 rubles in stores? I just don't understand the logic.
Circus. Collection "Greetings from the Madhouse". I thought it was a towel with a giraffe on it.
Nowhere in the world are brands “worshipped” as much as in our country! Any bad taste with a label causes wild delight among our fashionistas!
The penultimate and last ones are really okay, I would wear the penultimate one if I wore dresses in principle. And I also liked the giraffe) But only the giraffe itself, and not the matting, passed off as a dress, on which it is stuck.
The last two are very nice, at a reasonable price - well, up to 20tr maximum??? - I would maybe buy these?♀️?♀️?♀️?
Some of the dresses are cute. A matter of taste. Brands are unreasonably overpriced.
Zuhair Murad is completely in style for the red carpet.
I liked the dress with the giraffe)) it would look good with sandals and a beach bag))
Not all the dresses are ridiculous, there are 2-3 very cute dresses! I loved the two Valentino dresses and the Armani “coral miracle” dress. The most ridiculous thing about these dresses is the price, but then how ridiculous should dresses costing 150,000-250,000 rubles be?
Damn, it’s beautiful.. but 600 thousand for a giraffe))
