'Clueless' Calvin Klein Dress Reissued By Francisco Costa (PHOTOS)

Calvin Klein designer Francisco Costa is bringing back Cher's white dress from Clueless, thanks to a request from Ilaria Urbinati, co-owner of the LA-based label Confederacy, Vogue UK reports.

"I went into a spazzy explanation of how my formative-years love of Calvin was partly based on the little white Calvin mini dress Alicia Silverstone wears in Clueless," Urbinati told Daily Front Row. "I re-enacted the entire scene for him (you know, 'Cher, what are you wearing?' 'A dress!' 'Says who?' 'Calvin Klein!' 'Well, go put something over it!' 'Duh, I was just going to!' and then she comes out with the clear trench). So of course I said, Francisco, you need to remake that dress."

And he agreed. The dress is now available in two colors--white and red--on Confederacy's website for the "as if!" price of $916.

So, until now, all of those $10 tank dresses at Target weren't actually tank dresses?

I'm sure plenty of other companies made tank dresses while you had them off your shelf CK.

I'll buy it if it comes with the guarantee that I'll look just like the model who's wearing it! Yowza......

$916 for an extra long tank top? You've got to be kidding.

That simple arse dress ....$916....give me a break.

Must be that new math: 16.00 for the actual dress + 900.00 for Calvin Klein's name.

Go get a Butterick pattern and some material and you can make the same dress for under $15 bucks.

its cute, not worth almost 1000 bucks, but for like 200 it would be more reasonable. I can quote clueless as much as the next person, but AS IF.
