This style is reminiscent of Disney princesses and old-time glamour. Ball gown wedding dresses exude regality and elegance, ensuring every bride who walks down the aisle in this silhouette feels like royalty.

These gowns can also have various embellishments added such as beading around the bodice, detailed lacework and so much more. The possibilities for your ball gown dress are endless.

FAQ

A ball gown is a unique form of a dress that is designed to capture the elegance and grace of the wearer. They are often seen as being more timeless and classic in style, compared to other types of formal wear. Ball gowns usually have a fitted bodice, cinched waist with a full circle skirt that flares out. This gives the dress a timeless princess silhouette. 

Ball gown wedding dresses are often chosen by brides who are looking to create a fairytale-like look for their big day. These gowns often feature intricate details such as beading, floral lace, and layers of tulle. Not only do these details create a stunning bridal look, they can also help brides channel their inner princess. Additionally, if your wedding is a black-tie event, a ball gown may be the perfect choice.

A ball gown is often seen as a traditional bridal gown. However, there are ways to modernise this look. For example, you could choose a ball gown with drapery on the bodice or a leg split on the skirt. You could also add some contemporary details with an off-the-shoulder sleeve.
When it comes to formal dresses, the ball gown silhouette offers a dramatic, timeless look. It also shows off the cinched waist with a full skirt to elongate the body.. If you have a pear-shaped body type, look for a dress that shows off your small waist with a built in corset. If you have a larger bust or a more athletic build, opt for a dress with a plunging neckline or empire waist. If you have a petite figure, a dress with a less full silhouette will help you avoid being overwhelmed by the fabric.
The best fabric for a ball gown is something that will hold its shape and not wrinkle easily. Tulle, chiffon, and organza are all good choices.
There are many neckline options for ball gown wedding dresses, including the classic strapless look, off-the-shoulder, halter, illusion, sweetheart, and more. A good rule of thumb is to choose a neckline that complements your personal style and the overall tone of your wedding day. For example, a more formal affair may call for a strapless or off-the-shoulder neckline, while a less formal event may be better suited for a halter or illusion style.
