Gowns for the Inaugural Galas

[*Frisky*]

Is anyone going to any of the inaugural galas? Do you already have your gown or have one in mind?

[Keen]

I wonder if there will even be a gala. The way the media is talking about celebrating while the economy is in a down spiral.

wow that would be something. I think pretty much all of them are in the works already though. It is gonna be such a mad house here.

At first I thought I would definitely go to a gala, but looking at these ticket prices (the cheapest one I've seen so far is $250), I may not be able to swing it.

Come on ladies what you rocking for the inauguration? I haven't decided 100% but I have 2 choices in mind. One is is kind of a weird mauveish, reddish color and the other one is an emerald green. Both are long..not sure on the accessories for either:lachen:I am so last minute on stuff!!

im goin shoppin today for a gown----for two balls one on sunday and one on monday----

i am def lookin for something long--off the shoulder--i got so many ideas from what was worn at the golden globes--im thinking a rich ruby red--against caramel skin tone would be best for me and a simple blk dress with a stand out broch or accessories

Are they long or short dresses?

[loved]

I'm shopping Saturday, but I'm more concerned about my feet. I'd like to find a sexy pump that can withstand the cold and standing for hours.

Mine is long. I had to have it hemmed. I'm nit sure what shoe I will go with but it has to be a 3 and 1/2 inch heel since thats what I had it hemmed with.

Don't forget to post pictures of yourselves in those glamorous dresses next week! :D

The shoe thing is one of the things I am worried about because of all this walking, riding the Metro, being cold, etc.

Sure thing!

My cousin just bought out tickets for a gala last night. The problem is, I don't have money to buy a ballgown. We are going to the Southern Regional ball (even though we are not southerners!LOL!). The only black dress I have is this one from The Avenue (plus-size store).

Will I be laughed out of the ball? Do you think I can dress this up?

[PatTodd]

^^^^^^^^^I have no frame of reference but with strappy shoes and big statement jewelry, maybe not......?

Do you know if the gala is "Black Tie?"..if so, you might want to look into getting more of a formal.

I think this dress can be dressed up though. Nice evening shoes, jewerly and a bag.

I ordered this dress:
