Lauren by Ralph Lauren Ball Gown - White/Blue

This ball gown is ideal for formal evening events such as galas, black-tie weddings, formal receptions, and other occasions requiring elegant attire.

The gown should be professionally dry cleaned only. Store it on a padded hanger in a garment bag away from direct sunlight.

The dress features a mermaid silhouette, which is fitted through the body and flares out at or below the knee.

A seamless, supportive bra is recommended. Depending on the specific cut and your comfort level, a strapless bra or a bra with clear straps might be suitable. Consider the fitted nature of the bodice when choosing.

Yes, the length can be professionally altered by a tailor to fit your height and the heels you plan to wear.

While the mermaid style is fitted, the flare at the bottom allows for some movement. It is generally suitable for dancing at formal events, though the fitted nature might feel more restrictive than an A-line gown.

Consult a professional tailor for alterations. The mermaid style requires precise fitting.

Follow the care instructions for steaming or ironing on a very low heat setting, preferably tested on an inconspicuous area first. Professional steaming is ideal.

Ensure correct sizing and consider the type of undergarments worn. The mermaid silhouette is fitted by design; minor adjustments by a tailor might offer slight improvements in comfort without compromising the style.
