Out on a "Lim" again

I was shopping in my hometown yesterday and I came across this vintage maxi dress I was almost certain had to be the "inspiration" behind a 3.1 Phillip Lim dress I always loved. (sorry for the awful pic, my cell is so out of date)

I didn't buy the piece due to the cheap poly fabric and the falling off beads (hey, it was vintage), but for those of you interested, it may still be available at Chelsea for $4o

here is kate hudson wearing it...personally, i would have paired it with better shoes
