When it comes to formality, it doesn't get any fancier than a Ball Gown, and here at Prom Party Dress.com we have a constantly updated collection of the years trendiest and classiest Ball Gowns. Let's face it, if you're planning to attend a "White Tie" event, you have to look your absolute best, and what better way to do that than with a decadent and luxurious full-skirted Gown. Each dress in this section has everything it takes to make you look absolutely luscious!
Embroidery, Lace, Sequins, Feathers, Beading, Pearls and Resplendent Stones are very important details when it comes to Ball Gowns, because it's these details that really make a Ball Gown what it is. These little trimmings add to the overall delicacy and splendor of a gown, and give it the flare it needs to make you look like a princess.
But the most essential feature of a ball gown is its long, full-length skirt that reaches at least the ankles, if not further. Satin, Silk, and Taffeta are always great choices for skirt material, as they have been in fashion since princesses wore Ball Gowns in the 1700's, but if you're looking for a more contemporary look, you may want to consider a gown with a Tulle skirt. The Tulle really adds quite a bit of texture to a Ball Gown, and because it is translucent, it can be layered to give the dress a subtle multicolor appearance. Underneath, a crinoline underskirt always helps to flare the gown out and create a fancy look that will make you feel right at home at the fanciest of occasions.
As for colors, Whites, Creams, Pinks, and Purples are standards, but lately there have been some more unique colors and patterns making it onto ball room floors. Bright Yellows and Gold's and even some prints have been seen on the runways, so if you really want to make a bold debut, take a look at some of these styles.
A Ball Gown is not complete without the right accessories, and no gown takes to accessories better. Shawls and Cloaks are almost a must when it comes to flaunting these gowns correctly, as is appropriate jewelry. Vintage or couture style jewelry is generally the best fit, as it goes well with these classically styled gowns, and another little detail that works really well are gloves. That's right, those full-length opera style gloves are absolutely perfect embellishments to any ball gown! Nothing says class like a pair of long gloves in stretch satin.
Ball Gowns are all about fantasy, and the one you pick out should make you feel larger than life. Romance, Love, and Splendor are what Ball Gowns are all about, so you have to pick one with enough style and sparkle to make you feel like the star of the night. The best way to pick out the right dress is to clear your mind and imagine that you are at a wonderful Ball. Perhaps you are under a gentle rain of shimmering lights, on a red carpet, walking up the stairs to the fanciest hotel you know. The people around you are dressed exquisitely, and the sound of gentle music fills the night air. Inside, on the ball room floor is the man of your dreams, waiting, for you. Take a moment now, and think about what you're wearing. This easy little exercise is a great for helping you choose the right color and style for you.
