Nowadays, really good stuff is being marked down to move. I found the best of the best bunch of dresses on sale that don’t look cheap.

The recession has made our country a shopper’s paradise. Boutiques want to be your BFF. And they’re willing to drop prices if it means you’ll friend them on Facebook. These designers could be your new besties:

DG

This brand has European romanticism flavor. You can find styles for up to 50% off like #1044. It’s a black strapless mini with extra tulle that kind of dangles down over your thighs.

Faviana

These designs mix mischief with youthful vivacity. You might see some for even less than half off like #6357. It’s a long, iridescent, metallic blue gown with beaded accents.

Also, outfit #6419 was inspired by a gown Jennifer Lopez wore to the Golden Globes. It’s made of flowing champagne colored jersey with rhinestones.

Jovani

Here is a brand that captures feminine lyricism with lovely shapes. Style #155118 is a lacey white dress that gives the illusion of nakedness. You may be able to find it for almost half the price.

La Femme

This line uses fantasy colors to express magic. Like the reduced priced #15307. It has a violet bandeau top draped with yards of pink, white, and lavender fusion. It looks like the night sky in an anime fantasy world.

Night Moves

This is a designer that favors signature prom-style silhouettes. They are all very Cinderella inspired outlines. I have come across items for over a hundred dollars off. Like #6082 which is a fitted red taffeta gown with a bustier cut.

Precious Formals

A line that has both classic and unique selections for around 30% off. Choice #P8593 is a jazzy beaded original. Mint green and cherry red gems give it a mermaid-esque sheen.

Riva

Another catalog of European inspired creations. A royal blue and aqua chiffon item like #7447 will be $125 less than the original cost. The oodles of fabric and jewels do not look cheap by any means.

Sherri Hill

This catalog is usually beyond the average girl’s budget. But I have seen some that are a bargain. You can tell that both #2252 and #7205 are expensively made garments. The prints are pulled from digital artwork samples. If you can find these for less than the regular cost, you will be the richest looking diva of the night.

Terani

Terani dresses are normally over five hundred dollars. So if you see one for less, it’s a steal. You will look like a trust fund baby in something like #95208P. It’s a pink sweetheart gown with so much tulle that a brisk wind will lift you up to heaven.

Tony Bowls

Apparel in Tony Bowls’ catalog can reach into the thousands. If you find one with a markdown, get it. A design like #TBE11074 can be as much as 30% off. This is a girly, white pleated style with a pink floral pattern and gemstones around the neck.

These are all fantastic examples of dresses on sale that don’t look cheap. I hope you find something you adore for a cost you love!
