Are floor length dresses appropriate for the Inaugural Balls?Inaugural Balls are held around the Washington DC and Virginia area and many of them have tickets available for the public through their House and/or Senate representatives. Many of the balls are specific to a state and thus they have a theme. In addition two official balls are planned, that are invitation only, plus one to honor the U.S. armed forces and first responders. President elect Trump is planning to visit each one of the official balls. The good news is long and short dresses are acceptable at the Inaugural Balls.

The Little Black Dress – The Wardrobe Essential
“The Little Black Dress” has been described as sophisticated, sexy, provocative, chic, elegant, practical, seductive, correct, and ageless. The fashion designer, Christian Dior, said ” You can wear black at any time. You can wear it at any age. You may wear it on almost any occasion. A little black frock is essential to a woman’s wardrobe.” What’s great about “The Little Black Dress” is that it looks fabulous with or without jewelry. You can wear a scarf with it for an interesting effect and it doesn’t show dirt if you take it traveling. In addition black is slimming so you’ll look a few pounds less when wearing it. * The Duchess of Windsor
