Questions About Ball Gown Used
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    Ball gowns are sometimes called evening gowns or gowns. It is also technically correct to refer to a ball gown as a dress. However, the term dress can also describe pieces that are more casual than gowns. Shop a range of ball gowns from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The difference between a ball gown and a long gown depends on the context. Some people may use these two terms interchangeably as names for any full-length dress suitable for formal evening wear. Other times, the phrase “ball gown” may refer to a specific style of gown, namely, one that features a fitted bodice and a full skirt, often composed of layers of netting and tulle. In this case, “long gown” would be a more general term than “ball gown,” describing any formal full-length dress, and a ball gown would be one type of long gown. Explore a collection of evening gowns on 1stDibs.
