Ball Season - What to wear

Ball style

Ball season brings out the Cinderella in every girl - of course you want to look fabulous, but this year maybe you will be rocking hot gold heels rather than glass slippers! Here's some sites to get your imagination flowing …

Shoesnzgirl is always a good site with practical advice (AND things you can buy in NZ). They have a Glamorous dress special (June 2007) and in 2006 they did a Ball Dress Special featuring styles ranging from traditional to vintage to funky + they have a feature on evening shoes so you can be styley from head to TOES.

Check out their special feature on ball dresses to see some blasts from the past.

Good shops to check out for ball dresses are Stax for dresses priced around $100-$200.

DressPrincipals has some sharp stuff too, including the Absolute Glamour dress in peacock, black or gold.

If you are into 50s style and looking like a pin up goddess, Rita Sue is a NZ site with oodles of vintage style, and their slinky wiggle dress is a particular favourite

If you want to get a dress made, check out the Yellow Pages listing of dressmakers, or get into the latest fashion mags to get ideas and make your own outfit!

If you want to go fully Princess, you can get makeup & hair done. There are some tips on Beauty Tips Online. Places that will get you looking gorgeous include:

So enjoy your night Miss Cinderella & Prince Charming!
