Q. I love Victoria Beckham’s range of sexy fitted dresses but at €950 to €5,500 per dress - they are a little beyond my recessionista budget. Can you suggest where I can get her high fashion look for less?
A. Victoria’s third and best dress collection (so far) for Spring Summer 2010, showcased at New York Fashion Week, has won her adulation from fashion experts for her “masterful execution” and clever cuts
Posh may not be a fashion designer but she's done her homework. There was a waiting list of 3,000 before they'd hit the shops. With only 400 due in the UK- and the line not available in Ireland- these dresses have now become highly sought after.
If only they were at a price real women could afford...
For all you ladies out there, who want to bag a piece of Victoria's fabulous style, but find the dresses a little bit out of your reach and then we've got the solution for you- Posh dresses at a bargain price. The good news is that the High Street has taken inspiration from Victoria’s range and created look-alike versions at a fraction of the cost.
Matalan has produced a slick grey fitted dress with a peplum detail, which is a dead wringer for the ‘Camille’ dress featured in her recent collection and it’s a steal at only €30 euro (www.matalan.co.uk).
Marks and Spencer also stock a fitted black dress for only €55, and it’s very Victoria with its nipped in waist and chiffon bow detail. 
Other stores working the look are Karen Millen, French Connection and Warehouse. This floor-length white evening dress from French Connection is €133.
Victoria has not used much print or embellishment in her collections to date, so look for styles in block colours which fall just below the knee if you want to recreate her signature style.
Just add a pair of killer heels and you’re good to go.
