That's an interesting question. I have no idea whether clothing is copyrighted. You see look-alikes all the time. After the Oscars companies usually make dresses that look very similar to what some of the stars were wearing. I'd guess that as long as you dont market it using the designer's name it'd be OK, esp. if yours is slightly different. Try asking in the copyright forum.
