Gowns and Evening Wear
I never wanted to take off the pink gown I wore to the 'Gypsy' premiere. It was a magical dress for a magical moment.

What should I wear to the ball? What will look good on me?
Evening wear is special, because you're going to a special event. It's not as if you woke up in the morning and said to yourself, "What should I wear today?" Instead, you're going to an event that requires some advance planning, based on the type of event, the dress code, and your thoughts about your "look" at the party. On this page I've curated some of the items that appeal to me, and are sufficiently timeless to be worn to several events over a period of years. I'll also review some of the rental offerings that I love; if I need a one-time-only dress, it just doesn't make sense to buy, if something nice is available to rent! You can click on any photo if you want to purchase, or want more information. As availability changes, or as I see new items I love, I'll update this page.
