What not to wear…

Promgirl.com sells a lot of cute dresses.  This is not one of them.

This Nina Ricci black dress with silver trim features a draped front and assymetric hem.

This unique designer dress has the feel of an updated 20s flapper look.  The silver trim is embroidered.  Available at Bergdorf Goodman (but slightly pricey at about $4.5K!)
If you had the money, would you shop for clothes based on who designed them, or would you shop for clothes based on the piece, regardless of who made it?

I love the bodice on this formal Glam Gurlz dress — the way various pieces of fabric come up and drape over the neckline, leaving little peek-a-boo sections in between.
