Only at GW do you have the opportunity to go to an Inaugural Ball where you wear a beautiful dress, hang out with your friends, and feel like a princess, if only just for a night. You have probably been talking about it among your friends and family for months now! Still don’t have an outfit? No problem. We’ll guide you through a couple of styles to consider. Remember, the dress code is black-tie. While you can wear a long or short dress, keep in mind that you should wear something classy, elegant, and appropriate.
One- Shoulder Dresses
One-Shoulder dresses tend to look great on almost all body types, and you’ll certainly look fabulous. Remember, this is a night for you to go all out and look great! If you want to take a little step forward, you can even play around with it and choose a bold color, like red, royal blue, green, or yellow.
