Questions About Vintage Ball Gowns
- What are ball gowns called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023Ball 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, 2024The 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A ball gown dress and a princess dress are different names for the same style of cut in a wedding dress. This style of dress features a flattering fitted bodice and a full, voluminous skirt that flares out at the waist. The term ball gown is associated with more volume in the skirt than the term princess dress. Browse 1stDibs to find a beautiful array of wedding dresses from top boutiques around the world.
