The most fabulous ball gowns come from Munich
Twirling around the floor of a grand ball like Cinderella in a dream gown and stealing the heart of the heir to the throne in attendance - the fairy tales from our childhood knew just how to stage a princess. But even today, grand balls and cultural events still entice us - not so much with princes looking to marry, but with dancing pleasure and opulence. The right ball gown, made in Munich, can of course be found at Talbot Runhof.
Elegant through the night: glamorous ball gowns
Large, opulent ball gowns invite you to waltz across the dance floor until the early hours of the morning. Feather-light skirts and sparkling materials are particularly in focus then. Here it can glitter and sparkle, flow and frill. Opulence is not only allowed at a ball, it is absolutely desirable. But there are a few things to bear in mind here too: Delicate materials that are too delicate are of course always exposed to danger, especially when dancing, either by getting caught or, in the case of delicate trains, by their own pointed heels. Delicate fabrics can even be damaged by edgy jewelry. With beautiful jacquards, you are usually on the safe side. But if you don't want to dance anyway, anything goes. From delicate lace and flowing chiffon to rich, shimmering silk fabrics.
From opera balls to film balls: whether it's the Bavarian Film Prize or the Munich Opera Festival, which regularly attracts celebrities - there are plenty of occasions for a ball gown. And dresses from Munich are popular at every important ball. Because Talbot Runhof stands for glamor!
The perfect ball gown: elegance meets comfort
You'll find your perfect prom dress with us! Before shopping, however, there is always the question: What do I expect from the event? Is dancing at the top of the agenda, or is it more about making a grand entrance, seeing and being seen? If you are particularly looking forward to doing countless laps around the dance floor, you should not only focus on the look, but also on comfort. Stretchy materials, perfectly shaped around the body, ensure freedom of movement. This also applies to the cut. You should be able to lift your arms, nothing should slip and, of course, long trains are not practical on the dance floor. A swinging, wide skirt, on the other hand, always looks opulent and glamorous.
For a grand entrance, for example at the Munich Residence or the German Theater, you can be more experimental. If the focus is on the perfect photo on the stairs, it's the sexy details that attract everyone's attention: the breathtakingly low back, the super high slit and shimmering, sparkling materials that reflect the flash light. The extra-long train can also be draped elegantly over the steps - for that one perfect shot. And if you don't want to do a wild jive here, you can perhaps opt for a sculptural cut that doesn't allow for gymnastics.
From opera balls to galas: the right choice of dress for every occasion
The occasion also determines the silhouette: the big opera balls usually have a strict dress code. A length down to the floor is usually compulsory here. Skintight dresses are also often frowned upon, whereas the large, flared gown is considered the ultimate. Find out in good time on the relevant website. The organizers often also specify a dress code for important galas - so it is better to check the invitation in advance. At less official events, you have more freedom in your choice of dress, especially if you are younger and attending a graduation or exam ball. Here you can be creative according to the occasion, experiment with unusual patterns and colors, with slim evening dresses and midi dresses and even show a little more skin. At Talbot Runhof in the Munich boutique, you will find the right silhouette for every occasion. For example, discover large ball gowns with swinging skirts or understated evening dresses, slim-fitting and with long sleeves. Or how about seductive slip dresses or an exciting midi dress?
