Backup plan: Have a backup dress ready for last-minute invites or if you’re attending multiple balls.

Play it safe: Follow the organization or krewe’s rules. This is not the time for fashion risks. This is not the Met Gala. Think demure, very mindful.

ALWAYS floor length: Your dress must go to the floor.

Event appropriate Consider the vibe of the ball. If it’s a wild one, skip the delicate gown that’ll end up soaked in champagne, beads, and Mardi Gras chaos. Some stains just won’t come out!

A special thanks to Chatta Box and Swoon for generously outfitting us for the segment!
