Evening gowns

Evening gowns are the most formal category of women’s clothing. Long evening gown is a must-have of every lady’s wardrobe, who attends to different events (like dinners and receptions). It is usually a long gown with a neckline, which depth depends on the actual fashion and silhouette. Sometimes it has long shoulders.

For making the evening gowns and ball dresses, one sometimes uses hand made fabrics, but mostly uses satin, silk and velvet with lace, pearls, sequins, embroidery and ruffles.

Ball dresses

Ball dresses are made from high quality fabric and are bolder. Most of the ball dresses are sleeveless, with a deep neckline. Usually dresses of this type are worn together with a wrap or a shawl (also made of high quality material), wide petticoat, exclusive jewelry and long evening gloves. A ball dress also includes matching shoes and a handbag with short handle.

The handbag is an important decorative element. As an addition to a ball dress, it should be as small as possible and matching the rest of the dress. Shoes should be delicate, on high heels, pumps or made of satin. Shoes are usually in gold or silver color. If you are wearing a long dress, you can wear more jewelry, but not too much, so that the whole dress will look nice and elegant. The jewelry shall be put on the level of the chest. It is allowed to put a diamond on (traditionally one was worn by married women).
