As the prom dress frenzy continues to build, we’re noticing that silver pleated gowns are turning up all over—and if we were going to prom, we’re thinking being decked out in a glimmering Grecian-style dress might have us feeling sufficiently glamorous. To test your shopping metal, er, mettle—a challenge: we’ve picked two options, one that costs enough that extras (like shoes and a handbag) will be out of the question, while the other is budget enough to leave you some bucks to treat yourself to a trip to the manicurist, too. So which is which?

On the left: The high-priced option, a Jovani gown, $450, at Discountpromshop.com. On the right: our budget pick, an XOXO dress, on sale for $88.50, at Macy’s.
