The Mystery of Meta's near Identical Dresses?

[angelbruises]

Edit: Someone on facebook has told me the exact information I need to know! The dress on the right is in fact another dress that just happens to be very similar; Organdy Babydoll OP released in 2004 http://lolibrary.org/apparel/organdy-babydoll-op

Old pieces is not very often potrayed on lolibrary. Maybe they're was just a popular cut, they did a little experimenting with? Maybe there exists two different lengths?

a. If both dresses are from the same year
=> probably one of the dresses is a sample piece

b. If both dresses are from different years
=> Brands often re-release popular items several times. (It is not strictly one release per year.)
The items might be slightly different over the years, e.g. different lace or minor changes.

Here is a typical example, the Btssb babydoll dress:
2013: http://lolibrary.org/apparel/baby-doll-jsk
2015: http://lolibrary.org/apparel/baby-doll-jsk-2015
2016: http://lolibrary.org/apparel/baby-doll-jsk-2016
2016, 2nd release: http://lolibrary.org/apparel/baby-doll-jsk-2016-2nd-release

Yeah, I'd come to the conclusion sure it was either a sample or a slightly altered re-release, I just really want to know more haha!
