subject: Remember The Colour Of The Shirt Should Be Lighter Than The Trousers [print this page] A ball room is an open space, where the platform is used for ball dancing. It is a large room inside a building, which is designated for the purpose of holding a typical cultural entertainment dance called the ball, for the steps of the dance is round and round. Till the mid Victorian era, there were many mansions, and they, maintained ballrooms which were meant for the guest to be entertained by the hoist if there were any huge formal gathering. The dance is elegant, a sway walk but is always a couple dance. The ball gown is worn in such special occasions, but the whole phenomenon carries its own rules and etiquettes.
A ball room is generally large, and has huge high ceilings, the other rooms of the house. The large space is for the dancing, as well as for highly formal tome of events and dance. The largest ball now days are held in public spaces and public buildings, for there is lack of space in every house, rather no space at all. Sometimes the living room is smaller than the recent trend average size. A ball room is also designated to help the sound of orchestra that carries well throughout the whole room.
A formal dress or formal dresses are generally used in the terms of clothing which are just appropriate for the formal gathering and events, and at ease with no much of business talks and any other tension creating interference. Formal dresses are meant for social events like marriage, formal garden party, dinner, or even a dance party. Gone are those days when the evenings were known to follow single dress code, as black and white. Now with both the genders extrovert enough to express their colour of choice, the designers have come up with not only sober and beautiful colours, for the ladies, but also with many beautiful designed gown, but the base line remaining unchanged that the male dress is still dominated by the colours of white and black.
However this decorum of the formal dress along with the culture has not only been learnt by the other countries of the world, but many countries have also adopted the practise happily and doing well with the adaptation. The spread was rapid enough and now it seems that almost always has been the standard formal dress for many other eastern countries too, but of course not a national costume, except for England specifically.
A dress code is however a set of rules governing a certain combination of clothing, like the tie is a must for the males, but the colours of the tie must match with that of the shirt, if he is not wearing a white shirt. The formal dress rule is if you do not possess a white shirt and black pants (which hardly it happens) always remember that the colour of the shirt must be much lighter than that of the trousers, than only you can hit the crowd. You may have all colours in your wardrobe but must be light in colour, with trousers like black, dark brown and so on.
