Not into bare shoulders? Here's the obvious alternative. Classic t-shirt styling on top, with a surprise scooped out (but not too deep) back. Glamour all over. You can't miss with this timeless style. Note: they say it runs a bit small even with stretch to the material, so don't fixate on the numbers, and just size up for flattering fit. Sizes 0-16. Buy from Bloomingdale's.

They had us at scuba crepe. The "Madeline" dress is sleek without being too snug for a flexible fit that flatters many shapes. The drop shoulder gives it an edge. And navy is such a great wedding choice—here's proof! Sizes 4 to 18. Buy from Betsy & Adam.

Remember when Sharon Stone showed up on the red carpet in a Gap shirt (we're dating ourselves, but then, that's why we're all here)? Well, this is that spirit in dress form. Your most comfortable boat neck three quarters sleeve shirt on top; ballgown on the bottom in ombre for extra intrigue. Sizes 6-18. Buy at Dillard's.

Belle of the ball, grown-up style. We love the way this fabric shimmers, the three-quarters length semi-sheer sleeves, the big, beautiful pleated skirt. Everyone looks lovely in an A-line. Sizes 0-18. Buy from Mac Duggal.
