SPLURGE VS SAVE - Black turtle-neck dress

As a bargain Fashionista I try to do my research before I make my purchase. 

What options do I have? Can I find something more affordable, that's within my person price-range?

I don't want to break my bank, ha-ha, since I'm currently looking for work and don't have a steady income. I need to be smart with my money, now more than ever.

So I'd thought it would be a great idea to share my plus size bargain options that I occasionally come across online. :)

So I was browsing around plus size retailers online, checking out their newest lookbooks etc. And came across this fabulous Turtleneck-long sleeve-black dress from JIBRI. Overall I really like their newest collection, I love the black edginess this dress exudes. Their dark styling with the smoky eye and black lip is really really cool, it works! But I'm sorry JIBRI I can not afford that fabulous dress, it is just too pricey for me personally. If I had $220 to spend I would put it towards a flight ticket back home to Sweden or go to a thrift store and get my hands on plenty of great steals. 

For now I'm just going to have to admire the dress on my computer screen. I love that it's solid black, full coverage on the upper part of the body, I like the idea of NOT having to necessarily show cleavage but still look sexy and mysterious. This is a great dress for the fall/winter.

Later I visited Carmakoma's online website and came across a similar design :) and costs less. Carmakoma is another favorite plus size designer retailer of mine, I love their chic and edgy style combined. SO ME! Compared to JIBRI'S dress the Carmakoma dress has a shorter skirt and not the same seems details around the waist as JIBRI. But that's about it.

Which BLACK TURTLE-NECK DRESS WOULD YOU PREFER?
