I chose shades of orange to go with this lovely gown:

I like the simplicity of the pearls with an added floral embellishment. Nothing too much that would detract from the gown itself.

This lovely dress is the opposite of the previous one! Lots of embellishments with a richer color palette. I do like that the bottom of the gown is printed not embroidered like the bodice and sleeves. It makes the overall look flow rather than be ‘choppy’ and over-the-top.

A pretty pair of Pearl earrings and a sparkly ring is all this dress needs to complete it. A simple ribbon choker could be added, but you don’t want any complicated jewelry to detract from all the lovely embellishments it already has going on.

Our next gown is perfect for cooler temperatures when you want longer sleeves:

I just love the deep, rich colors in this one! I chose to pick out the golds/yellows in this one to lighten the overall palette:

The next gown is going to be perfect for the dance floor. Shorten the length a bit if you plan on dancing to avoid accidents.

With all the frills I chose just a simple pair of shoes to accessorize:

While we love orange, sometimes you need a complimentary color to reveal the beauty of all the shades of orange. This next gown has done that:

I love purple and orange together! I also love the formal large pleats in the skirt. Let’s add a simple metallic necklace design and a fabulous pair of shoes:

My next gown brings the color down a few notches to a softer version of orange. It is more of a traditional, formal ball gown style.

Wearing proper undergarments is a must for this dress. Don’t skimp on the crinoline under slip!

Let’s add a bronze pair of ankle strap sandals and a pretty cocktail ring in deeper shades to accent the rose embellishments:

Moving away from orange as the main color, I chose this next gown because I love the deep rich colors of burgundy with taupe and peach as accents. All shout ‘Autumn!’ to me!

With all the embroidery and accent colors a simple pair of pearl earrings are the only jewelry you need. I couldn’t resist these marvelous shoes however!

Keeping with less orange and more burgundy reds, this next gown is a lovely change from previous styles:

Next is my last ball gown. There are so many things I love about this one - the scattered rose embellishments, the sheer mesh neckline, the lace collar…
