J. Crew Prom 2010

It's no secret that I love J. Crew, even though I'm tired of overpriced tees with weirdly placed ruffle flowers. But they do produce classic occasion dresses that will look good in photos in 20 years. And most are relatively inexpensive.

Cotton Organdy Galette Dress, $285

Silk Taffeta Bow Monde Dress $250

Silk Chiffon Taryn Gown $425

Delphina-Gown, $350

Pearlized Sequined Silk Dress $650
