Belle of the Ball Gowns for SS13
As children we all looked towards our favourite Disney princesses, dreaming of the day where we too could transcend down that grand staircase and cascade into the arms of our prince in those gorgeous ball gowns.
Now the time has come and you realise that classic princess ball gowns may not quite be on trend, and so GMD are here to guide you through the top picks for ss13 so you can be the belle of the ball!
If you always prefered Sleeping Beauty’s fuchsia dress to the blue then Ariella’s Elizabeth Gown is the one for you. Ariella gowns have been seen on the likes of Pussycat Doll, Ashley Roberts and singer/pianist Myleene Klass, so the Elizabeth Gown will have you feeling and looking like a star! With long dramatic ties that float from the halterneck and a gathered body it is the definition of glamour. Be sure to turn heads in this bold gown for ss13.
Metallics were key on the ss13 catwalks, but if you’re scared of looking like a walking talking disco ball try our sultry Alice and Olivia Lanie Open Back Dress, black in colour yet entwined with electric blue metallic thread.  The gown is the ultimate in floor length elegance, with a body conscious fit and cut out back detailing, available to hire from £69.
Your carriage won’t be turning into a pumpkin when the clock strikes twelve in our stunning midnight blue gown by Dina Bar El. With bold primary colours like this seen on the ss13 catwalks of designers such as Burberry and Michael Kors you’ll be right on trend. The gown has a draped neckline, high back and a train which is not too long so doesn’t prohibit those dancing feet!
If you want a touch of far eastern opulence like the asian trends seen on the ss13 catwalks in shows such as Prada try our Ruth Tarvydas Hidden Gem. It shimmers in lavishness as it is fully embellished in gold-paillette. Sure to be the ultimate show-stopper!
Tell us what you think about the ball gowns GMD have picked for ss13 and the ones you’ll be wearing!
