    You start telling the same to your sil and mil. Ask them to buy the same which your siil wear for yourself. Give complaints about not able to keep money in your account. give a long list of expenses. Start cribbing and cribbing and cribbing. Irritate them to the core!

    Dear OP,
    Just don't wear your best in front of them. Hide, hide, hide everything.

    u knw u shld be proud of urself tat wat ever u wear or buy gets so much attention :) jst kidding...Trust me u can not change ur MILs behaviour....so tell her NON VERABLLY tat u actually dnt like it...for example u can give them a taste of their own medicine by say complementing on ur SIL new dress n saying wow i want to buy something jst like tis n infact buy one very similar...(to get d right effect u hv to spend some money)..i think they'll slowly start to understand tat wat they r doin actually hurts u...bt never do it in a very direct manner or else u'll end up causing enough damage to ur relations.

    I am in the same boat dear... my MIL went to such an extent that she made the same LCD panel (with same brand and size LCD Tv) for her daughter that she saw in my house.... now you can understand the extent to which she copies our things :)

    Buy something u don't like, and when MIL says that she needs the same thing for SIL, give it her saying u will get something else (SIL should get it first) and get what u like later! :rotfl
