We have been shopping for a chic and formal dresses that put a fresh look on Spring Galas and Black Tie Balls.   When we spotted a trend at the Met Costume Ball  on VOGUE.com, we knew we were going in the right direction.    We love the crisp, chic look of these two opposing colors that create wonderful contrast in shapes and space.    When you buy a new dress – make sure it fits perfectly or take it to a tailor to tweak.  Especially in long dresses, it is important the the length is just right, or you will be tripping on the hem all night, and that is no fun.
