Don't let the "bridesmaid dress" label dissuade you. If you're looking for a pretty off-the-shoulder number at an extremely affordable price point, consider this A-line chiffon gown with spaghetti straps and a built in bra. The caped sleeves create drama from the front and the back. The JJ advantage: the dress comes in dozens of colors and a wide range of sizes, 0 to 26.

Modern and chic. The pleating and gathered chiffon at the waist adds flattering definition. This is a great style for curvy women. Because it's got flow without too much volume and is designed to hit at the ankle, we recommend it for petites as well. You can chose your size, 0 to 26, or provide measurements for made to order. It comes in more than 30 colors! Buy from JJ's House.

Exquisite. Elegant. And everything in between. The ruffled rosettes are works of art and like no other arm candy out there right now. Body skimming, perfectly pleated, and with that floor sweep on the trumpet silhouette for one final exclamation mark. Sizes 0 to 14. Buy from Neiman Marcus.

We're all for an blouson moment. It's a flattering way to define the waist without a super tight fit. Kay Unger is great at offering extremely wearable silhouettes and this print is dynamic without distracting. Sizes 2 to 16. Buy from Dillard's.
