Ball Dress, Ball Season 2014

Yes, it is that time of year again to look around for your Ball Dress. School Ball season is fast approaching here in New Zealand with some as early as March! So there’s no better time to start looking for that stunning ball dress than now, especially if you want to acquire your dream dress before it gets snapped up by someone else at your school. We all know that turning up in the same gown as your friend (or worse, your teacher!) is a girl’s worst nightmare, so our promise to you when you purchase your dress here at Golden Gown Boutique is that we will only sell one of each style to each schools event. Our account record enables us to do this accurately and ensures individuality.
So now that you’ve decided to start looking for your ball gown, where do you start? After all it is one of the most special dresses you will ever wear (except, of course, on your wedding day) and this in turn often makes it a difficult decision to make. One of the most important factors when purchasing your ball gown is to make sure you are comfortable and that the colour suits you. There’s no point wearing a dress you are too self-conscious to even dance in as you are terrified of a strap falling off your shoulder! Remember, we have a fitting and alteration service available to all our customers here at Golden Gowns and our friendly staff are here to make sure everything is the perfect fit and length. Likewise, when it comes to choosing colour, we are more than happy to assist and make suggestions as to what shades would compliment your hair and skin tone.
Another exciting part of school ball season, once you have your dress, is to hunt down the perfect accessories. Whether it’s an adhesive bra (great for backless gowns and available here at Golden Gowns) or a glitzy pair of earrings (something we also stock) these last little additions are all important and can make or break your look. With so many options out there you are not limited to what your team your dress with either, it could be a feathered headpiece, bejeweled bangle or just a simple dainty drop necklace.

Flowers, especially daisies, are forecast to be a very big trend this coming ball season too, so if you fancy yourself a true, current fashionista then a daisy chain or pretty flower wreath in your hair would be some good accessories to consider. Alternatively, if your style is more classic then there is absolutely nothing wrong with a single string of pearls to complete your school ball look. Sometimes less really is more!
We hope you now have some inspiration and information to get you started on quest for the right ball gown. This is an exciting time

for us as well as you with lots of new styles arriving regularly. So many gorgeous fabrics and designs to choose from it makes us wish we could go back to our school days and go to the ball with you! Don’t forget we can also design and make custom dresses, so if you have seen a dress that you would like on another website please feel free to bring in or email us a photo so that we can discuss your needs and give you a quote. In the meantime, happy shopping Cinderella’s, we look forward to seeing you all in the near future.
