I tried on wedding guest dresses at Gap, Banana Republic, and Old Navy. The one on the clearance rack really won me over.

Out of all the options I tried on, I'd consider buying the one from Gap.

• I tried on wedding guest dresses at Gap, Banana Republic, and Old Navy.
• All the dresses were nice, but I thought the one from Gap was the most versatile.
• The Old Navy dress was a little thin, and I didn't think it would be a great long-term investment.

As a late 20-something, I've spent the past few years attending countless bachelorette parties, bridal showers, and weddings.
