Festive Fashion—Magical Gowns for The Holiday Season

From Cinderella to Snow White, in fairytales, opulent balls and banquets are a common sight. Forever-inspired by these magical and multifaceted motifs, our curation of dresses always includes garments made for modern-day princesses. 

Though we don’t believe in having favorites—we aren't Cinderellas's stepmother after all—here are a few designs we think would catch the eye of royalty.

You will be pretty in pink in this  Laura Philips gown. With statement ruching and floral details at the bust, the tulle design is both feminine and chic 

This blue gown with floral overlay is an ethereal choice that will make you feel like a wood nymph or fairy. We love the maxi silhouette and the statement sleeves are made for the belle of the ball. 

Our list would not be complete without this show-stopper of a gown. Perfect for a night at the opera or for a stately ball, the impressive design was handmade in Germany in the 80s. It is opulent in black and red and features eye-catching floral inserts resembling little pom poms.

Yesterday’s balls are a little like today’s proms. So with that in mind, shimmer and shine in this 70s gown; take the limelight in this 80s sleeveless design and please do a twist and twirl in this puffy-sleeved regal piece.  We also love this red design perfect for the festive season. 

At the end of the day, while you might not have an invitation to a ball nor hope to be crowned the prom queen any time soon, when you slip into one of these dresses, be it for just a minute or two, you might just believe that a magical pumpkin can serve as a carriage and that you too can dance in glass slippers until midnight. But, perhaps most importantly,  you too might see that you can defy the odds to make your happily-ever-after a reality. That's the magic of fashion after all; the power it has to embolden one.
