Being touted as the "miracle dress," Stella McCartney has struck designer gold with this paneled, figure flattering dress. The trick is in the black side panels, which are shaped to instantly shave off inches and pounds. The illusion is pretty remarkable. This is one frock every woman should own! The question is, why hasn't anyone thought of this before?

The dress retails for $1,595 and comes in cobalt blue and white. Fans include celebs such as Kate Winslet and Liv Tyler. But have no fear if you don't have the bank account of a star --knockoffs are set to hit the market,  including one from Topshop for only $84! So if your gym shoes are covered in dust and you're not willing to give up Ben & Jerry's just yet,  here's a quick solution.
