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. (Note: custom sizes available, but can't be returned). Buy from JJ's House.

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.

Silk pillowcases are basically an overnight beauty dream—preserving your blowout and helping to prevent fine lines and wrinkles. (Silk doesn't absorb moisture like cotton, so your creams stay on your face and oils stay in your hair.) Lilysilk comes highly recommended by product reviewers. There are less expensive, and more expensive models—we think this Charmeuse Silk in a 750 thread count will do the trick. Comes in several colors, and can be monogrammed!
