Oleg Cassini - have I got a real bargain?

Hello, I was in TK Maxx last week and in the clearance section was a pretty black evening dress in perfect condition reduced to £9. As it was an American size 8 and I had no hope of getting in it I bought it for my 17 year old DD figuring that she would have a chance to wear it some time soon, such as a sixth form end of term bash. There was no price tag showing the RRP.

She was thrilled, it fits her perfectly. A couple of days later we were watching Pointless and one of the answers was Oleg Cassini. I had never heard of him but DD said that was the name on the dress label. I have just had a look online and his brand is a well known designer brand.

So my question is, is it likely to be a genuine designer dress if I bought it from TK Maxx, or more likely to be a knock off? And should she waste it on a school disco?!Grin

Tk maxx don't do knock offs, it'll be the real deal. So a bargain, but tbh I haven't heard of the brand either!

Thanks for answering - I just had the bright idea of looking on Ebay (why didn't I think of that before?)and I think I have found my answer. There are lots of cheap dresses on there so I guess his vintage designs have value but there is also cheap diffusion line. I guess we have been lucky to get a bargain, but not enough of a bargain to retire on! Smile
