What style dress to go to a ball?

Hi, I am going to a black-tie ball in Dublin soon and am wondering No.1 - what type of dress is the right style to wear for a ball and No. 2 - where to shop? I saw a black strapless three quarter length dress in a shop recently but don't know if this is more of a cocktail dress or could it be worn to a ball? Any help or…

Hi,

Any help or advice appreciated. Thanks.

Hey, I think the dress code at balls is a bit more relaxed these days - there's no need to wear a full length Oscars style dress - cocktail length should be fine :-)

Coast, Warehouse, Oasis, Debenhams and Monsoon have some lovely party dresses at the mo... only trouble is you might bump into someone wearing the same dress (particularly with Coast & Monsoon!) so it might be worth having a look in some independent boutiques for something different.
