Ball gown A ball gown is a fitted bodice with a voluminous, full skirt that typically extends to the floor with petticoat or crinoline support

To put it simply, a black-tie dress is a formal, floor-length evening gown made from an elegant fabric, generally in a jewel tone or black

Avoid casual sundresses, jersey dresses, office dresses, denim, flip-flops, daytime cotton florals, very short party minis, white or ivory dresses, bridal lace, and anything that looks too casual for a formal evening wedding

Another great option is the Check-Pattern Overshirt Joseph from Les Deux, which works perfectly with baggy ensembles
