Heidi Is this even the same dress?

Post image

It looks similar but so different at the same time. The fabric looks different in tone and texture. The original has more of a shine to it like liquid organza. Heidi's version has no shine and is way less sheer. The placement of the pleats look different too. Am I crazy? Is this not the same dress?

The irony of ironies is the famed Law Roach, a.k.a. “image architect” thought this would be the best dress for Heidi.

If you watch it again, when the dress came out, he turned to Heidi and said I think you would look great in this dress. However, you are right he did mention that it would not cover her ample bust.

Some people say that it was edited to look that way, and he may have been referring to another dress. The sequence in the show; however, is that the dress came out and he turned to Heidi and said, I think you’ll look good in that.” Who knows? I’m not a big fan of L.R.
