Fairytale Ball Gowns And How to Accessorize Them

If you've ever had to wear a ball gown to a formal event, you know how tricky they can be. With such a special piece of clothing, you need to know how to wear and accessorize it to its fullest advantage. Ball gowns are elegant and extravagant, the perfect attire for a fantastic night.

Ball gowns are often thought of as the most formal type of special occasion dress, and as such are only worn to very formal events. They're usually found at parties held by the wealthier crowd. You can tell when ball gowns are required by looking at the invitation for an event. A "white tie" dress code calls for full formal attire for men, including a white tie, and ball gowns for women.

There are several other occasions when ball gowns are considered appropriate. For instance, debutantes traditionally wear white ball gowns at their coming out parties, when they're formally introduced to society. Some of the more theatrical prom dresses may be thought of as ball gowns as well. Cheap ball gowns make great princess or fairytale costumes as well.

Ball gowns have a recognizable, classic silhouette. The skirt is always full, coming away from the hips in a bell shape. Above that, the waist and bust are fitted against the body. It's a beautiful impression that's flattering on most all women, assuming they have the right length of dress. Ball gowns tend to be pricey because of the expensive material and high-quality construction used to make them.

These dresses are available in all colors, but you should choose something to go with the mood of the event you're attending. Later parties usually call for darker colors, but any rich, bold hue on a ball gown will look stunning. Colors like crimson, burgundy, deep purple, and gold are some that tend to stand out. Earlier in the day, lighter colors are more favorable, but events held in the daytime are usually too casual to wear a ball gown to.

Accessories can either make or break the look. You want to make sure you're choosing accessories that dress the gown up, not down. Elbow length gloves, soft cloaks, and tiaras are commonly associated with ball gown attire. Classic pieces of jewelry like strings of pearls or a draping necklace also look amazing.

The last part of your ball gown look is the shoes. The height of the heel you're wearing is very important, as some dresses are meant to be worn with a shoe of specific height. Any higher and the hemline of the dress may fall too short. In some cases, ballet shoes can be worn with ball gowns. Dancing shoes are customarily worn with them even if no dancing is to take place.
