Masquerade balls are amazing, Picking the right ball gown and the perfect mask is the greatest thing you can do its like picking out your prom or wedding dress for the first time. Most Women or Young girls are picking out modern dresses, Some even pick out really short dresses and just wear a mask but why? Masquerade balls where established in the 15th Century they where so big then, all women with big fancy dresses like Elizabethan times or Marie Antoinette wore the outrageous dresses with big curly hair also lovely masks they where pretty though I gotta admit that. I am having a Masquerade Ball for my 21st Birthday ,I have made the dress code ball gowns only I want it the way it use to be with the long ball gowns with masks, If I could be in that period I would make sure I wore dresses like that everyday! All Ball Gowns are Different Some are Ridiculously massive some are small, but back then it was the style .
Some women love short dresses for a masquerade ball's but why? Because Masked Balls are for long Ball gowns For fun Not to ruin it with slutty dresses from the 21st century you wanna celebrate the 15th century when it was founded by King Charles of France but then it was called wild men's ball. Old Fashioned parties are the greatest parties you can go to Its like Fancy dress with masks.
Ball Gowns Of the Elizabethan times Or Edwardian & even Victorian times are really hard to come by, I have looked everywhere for a Masquerade ball gown and I have not seen any of the ball gowns yet.
