BLACK TIE

  • Betsy & Adam

    Betsy & Adam Scuba Crepe Off the Shoulder Dress

    $249

    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.

  • Ignite Evenings

    Ignite Evenings Ombre Ball Gown

    $149

    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.

    Mac Duggal Shimmering Pleated A-Line Gown

    $498

    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.
