Ball Dresses Auckland, Ball Season is Here!

The annual school ball season is definitely here in full swing and we are right in the thick of it with the majority of our secondary schools glamming up for the night during the months of June and July. There are still more to come in the following couple of months and ball season does not necessarily apply to students only, the Royal NZ Navy and the Airforce have also recently held their annual balls too, with many women attending in some of our beautiful dresses. Often it is a process to find the right beautiful dress for each individual client and sometimes upon entering our store they can feel overwhelmed by the choices and have no idea where to start. So bearing that in mind, I will try to answer a few of our most frequently asked questions regarding choosing a dress.

In our boutique we hold a range of gowns available through our many US suppliers, however, we usually only have one sample size in store to try on as we are able to order in other sizes/colours within a reasonably fast time period (approximately two weeks). The range in store are not the only styles we have available, there is a much larger selection on our website and our Facebook page and we can also source many other dresses if you email us a photo of something specific that you are looking for. New styles also arrive at least every fortnight.

If you find the right size for you on the rack but it needs some slight tweaking to make it perfect then our excellent alteration service is just the thing for you. We offer a very wide range of modifications from taking in the sides of the garment to creating elegant cap sleeves and everything in-between. Likewise, if you are on the shorter side and you need your dress hemmed then this is an easy fix for us and very affordable for you at only $35. Ordered dresses are not made to measure but rather bought in the closest to your measurements, so taking advantage of our alteration service would also be a good idea for you if you want a perfect, custom fit.

We can’t wait to help the rest of you find your dream dress and hopefully after reading this you won’t be so nervous about the whole process. We know that every woman wants to feel amazing when she heads off to her ball or function and the last thing we want is for you to feel intimidated by the vast array of dresses out there. Embrace the variety and rest assured that here at Golden Gown you are in good hands.
