You know how there’s a heinous crime, sometimes the police look to the public for tips towards solving the case.
I’m not saying Emily Maynard’s dress from Live! With Kelly was a heinous crime.
But this is sort of like that.
After several false starts including a lead that led me down the Real Housewives rabbit hole (I thought Heather Thomson from RHONY was wearing the same dress) my reader Katherine G. sent me the tip that cracked the case.
Which is good because I know now that we can close the book on Emily Maynard’s fashion, we can all sleep a little better.

While I love Emily and will miss updates on her fashion… can you please ID the boots Carrie Underwood is wearing in her new video “Blown Away”? Love you Dana!
I think the dresses are similar but not the same. The bottom hem is different, sleeves are different, and waist is different
I don't think it is the same cut of dress, the pattern is same but cut and ruching are completely different. Emily's dress hem has a baseball tee cut, whereas the ID one has a completely straight hem.
Wow dana you are so lucky to have such assholes for readers who just point out that something is wrong without ever actually finding anything themself. it must be a really hard life to have someone do all the work for you and then just sit back when they get it a little worng. Geez people you aren't paying for this. if it's not what your looking for don't buy it.
Its an ugly dress no matter what cut. I am so over this famewhore and her mindless followers
“a baseball tee cut”
is that a real fashion term?
The shocking part about this is that Emily Maynard portrays herself as a gracious lady, but her fans are anything but. They're needy, demanding and rude. Emily would be ashamed of you.
Thank you Dana for all your hard work. It was nice of you to find something this close.
Anon- I don't think Dana's followers are intending to be “assholes.” I think it is more or less a discussion to HELP Dana find the real one. While I DO think a “thank you for finding such a similar look,” was in order I think it is a little abrupt to judge their intention to be so negative.
PS I have never heard of a “baseball tee cut,” but it made me giggle
Love your blog, Dana! It always makes me laugh.
Christina, what is “helpful” about saying “that dress is wrong.”
I have nothing to add except I love when my comments take on a life of their own, so keep it coming.
Also, I think I am going to pull a Newsroom and start requiring people to register with a name and verified email address so I know who is going to kill me if I don't find the exact dress.
P.S. I have a call into Kain to see if this is their dress. Thanks for your patience and for having screennames like PammyLovesHammy. You guys kill me.
I don't care about the dress. Wouldn't wear it. But can we get an ID on Jef's tie ?
the internet would be a much friendlier place if you actually had to stand by your comments…
Dana, you do a fabulous job and if people don't like your extremely similar dress (at probably a much more realistic price point for your readers), then they can find the real one on their own. OR realize that most 'celebs' make many many alterations to their clothing that could render i unrecognizable to the original item.
why the hell are people asking about this ugly dress?!?! are you guys so brainwashed by emily? i agree with melissa…emily is just another famewhore. uses her daughter none the less…disgusting. can't wait till she stops making public appearances so we don't have to hear about her again
this dress is ugly… and leave dana alone. shes doesnt have to do this for us so if u dont like it then go find the stuff urself. thank u dana we love u!!
It's actually the Kain Label Isabella dress — I only know because I do like Kain and happened to see this for pre-fall. Either way, the cut of the dress is horrid, and they're typically a quality line.
Was wondering what brand Emily's tank tops are. They seem to be the perfect fit. It may also just be that she has the perfect bod!
I have some Emily Maynard stuff for sale right now on ebay for anyone who is interested.

Dana – Think the Newsroom idea is a good one.
The dress isn't so good.
Emily could wear a burlap sack and still look gorgeous, but for the rest of us…avoid this dress….
I still don't think they were trying to be rude- it isn't like they said “Dana can't you get anything right?” They said.. “I think this one is different- and here is why I think that…”
Personally I don't care much for this dress. I think it looks like a hemmed curtain from my Grandma's house.
All I am saying is the rude and crazy comments are coming from everyone. Calling someone an asshole is no better than people not saying a simple thank you.
Geesh.
I was one of the initial people who commented that I didn't think the ID'd dress was exactly the same as the one Emily wore on Live. My goodness, when I posted I certainty didn't expect that voicing my opinion would cause such a frenzied, hateful backlash.
My post was certainly not meant to be rude; please note that I did not use profanity, nor did I attack others/put anyone down.
I apologize to everyone who read my post to themselves in a negative narrative. I am sorry you were offended by my tone of writing.
Jenna – those who read your comment that way failed to remember that the possessionista aims to accurately ID clothing and accessories. Of course you intended to assist her! Also, Dana does not need to do this for us, and I'm confident she knows that. She chooses to do this, and we are lucky if we can help! People are crazy.
