How glam!
Something long and sweeping probably! I don't think it matters where ti's from or how much you spend, more theys tyle of the dress...do you know anyone else who's going, what are they wearing?
Look at this for rather archaic but nevertheless useful ball-dressing advice:
"When selecting a color, a lady must consider her figure and her complexion. If slender and sylph-like, white or very light colors are generally suitable; but if inclined to embonpoint, they should be avoided, as they have the reputation of apparently adding bulk to the wearer.
Pale colors, such as pink, salmon, light blue, maize, apple green and white are most in vogue among blondes, as being thought to harmonize with their complexions. Brilliant colors are more generally selected by brunettes.
The material of the dress should be of the lightest--the more gossamer-like the better. A rich satin slip should always have either crepe or net over it; and it is the generally received opinion, that the least trimming the dress has the better, but again, individual taste may permit a deviation from the general rule."
