Personal Shopper: A black-tie wedding guest dress under $150 for Stephanie

You may follow our sister site, Outblush, for news on the latest couture & hipster fashion, beauty products, and more, but what if your budget is more Payless than Prada? Let us find you a few fakeouts! What if you waited too long to pounce on those perfect shoes or that just-right-for-your-sofa throw pillow, and it's sold out? Let us help! Welcome to Personal Shopper, Bargainist style!

Stephanie O. wrote to Outblush, asking, "Hi Ladies, I have another wedding related request…but different from what I've seen. I'm 23 and a good friend of mine is having a black-tie wedding in October (floor length dress encouraged). I've been trying to find something but every floor length dress looks either like a high school homecoming dress or very "matronly". Do you think you could find something young but black-tie appropriate. I'm 5'2" with an hourglass figure and I'd like to stay under $150 if possible. Also I'm completely open to any color (doesn't have to be black). I'd appreciate any help I can get… this is the first wedding I've really been to. Thanks in advance! I've been following the site since a friend of mine showed me Uncrate first, and I've loved it. Check it every day. Keep up the good work, I love all your finds! Best, Stephanie"
