One of the hardest occasions to dress for is a wedding. Doesn't it seem that the bride-to-be has it easy? Wear a large, pouffy, cleavage-bearing Barbie gown and you're golden! Attendees have no such luck--go too demure, and you're essentially asking for a life of singledom; go too sexy, and face the wrath of bridezilla.

We've got two superb solutions to this all-too-common dilemma. Don Loper brings us our first dress, a vision in floral café au lait lace and chiffon (for those of you who are unfamiliar with Mr. Loper, he was the first and only stop for Hollywood's glitterati in the 1950s). Our second little ditty is a floor-length girlsnberry lamé wrap from Mr. Blackwell that's more appropriate for a formal affair. The pleats are vaguely reminiscent of Mariano Fortuny's tea gowns. Classy!
