DEBUTANTE BALL DRESS CODE The Debutante Ball is a formal event. Each debutante must decide on her own dress but simplicity, elegance and decorum are the keys to getting it right. The dress must be white and if the dress is strapless, it is highly recommended that it be well fitted and use is made of invisible straps. Proper heel length is determined by the final length of the gown and the height of the debutante. For ease of movement in dancing, ascending and descending stairs, the dress should be just above the ground. Shoes should be appropriate for ballroom dancing. White, silver or ivory is acceptable. An ankle strap is highly recommended for extra support. Shoes that are too high or have large platforms are not practical! The earlier these are purchased the better as it is best to practise walking in them to become familiar with dancing in them. Elbow – length white gloves are to be worn. The gloves are to be provided by the debutante. Debutante Partner’s SUIT and SHOES hire is $125 and will be hired from Grant Rule’s Mens & Ladies Fashion, Eaglehawk. This includes black tail suit, shirt, vest, bow tie, gloves and shoes. Boys will need to visit Grant at his place of business in Eaglehawk late January – early February to be measured for their suits. Money is to be paid the week before the Debutante Ball. Suits must be returned to Grant on Saturday 24th March or very early in the next week. Partners, do not remove your jacket or your tie at the Ball. .

History of the Prom Istory of the Prom
HHHistoryHistory of the Prom (difference between a formal and a prom) There’s lots of speculation and myth about where the phenomenon started and what it’s really supposed to be. Both Australian and American culture and society originated in Britain. It goes to follow that many of the traditions and social experiences we retain today were handed down from there. In Victorian and Edwardian culture, it was customary for families of higher society to send their 16 year old daughters to finishing school. This is where they would learn to walk, talk, dance and behave like a lady. Upon completion, they would be presented to the wider community as a group in a special function known as the “Debut”. A debutante is a girl making her “Debut” or otherwise being presented to society as a new lady for the first time. The purpose of the debut (or Deb Ball as it’s known today) was to present eligible girls to young and wealthy bachelors for the purpose of matchmaking for society marriages. The debutante girls would wear white gowns, which looked almost like bridal gowns, and be escorted by formally dressed boys, all in the same tuxedos. These were usually boys considered too young to marry but able to show off the girls well enough. They would form a huge circle and the debutantes, with escorts, would promenade around the circle, almost as if they were models on a catwalk. With any luck, a debutante would catch the eye of a wealthy bachelor watching from the audience and the courtship may begin thereafter.

It began as a royal land grant given to Sir Thomas West and his wife Lady Cessalye Shirley in 1613 and developed into the existing estate one can currently visit by 1725. The present day estate consists of the mansion itself and ten additional buildings set along a Queen Anne forecourt. These buildings include a Root Cellar, Pump House, two-story Plantation Kitchen, two story Laundry, Smokehouse, Storehouse with an Ice House below, a second Storehouse for grain, Brick Stable, Log Barn and Pigeon House or Dovecote. At one time the Great House was augmented by a North and a South Flanker: they were two free standing wings, 60 feet long and 24 feet wide and provided accommodations for visitors and guests. The North Flanker burned and its barrel-vaulted basement was converted into a root cellar and the South Flanker was torn down in 1868.

The Journal of the European Association of Studies on Australia, Vol.3. No.1 2012, ISSN 2013-6897 under the auspices of Coolabah Observatori: Centre d’Estudis Australians, Australian Studies Centre, Universitat de Barcelona Dancing with the Prime Minister Jennifer Jones Copyright © Jennifer Jones 2012. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged Abstract: When Ruby Langford Ginibi and her daughter Pearl prepared for the Foundation for Aboriginal Affairs Debutante Ball in 1968, they contributed to development of a significant new expression of Aboriginal identity and community belonging. Debutante balls were traditionally staged as a rite of passage that introduced a select group of young ladies to British high society. They went into decline in the UK in the late 1950s, under pressure from anti-establishment and sexual revolutions. The tradition remained popular in Australia, as the debutante ball had developed important status as fundraising events for local organisations. This article examines the history of Aboriginal girls ‘coming out’ at a debutante ball. While the inclusion of Aboriginal girls in debutante balls was encouraged as a means to achieve assimilation, proud celebration at all-Aboriginal events provoked controversy. Ruby Langford Ginibi’s reflection upon her daughter’s dance with the Australian Prime Minister at the 1968 Foundation for Aboriginal Affairs Debutante Ball is instructive. It explains how an exclusive, sexist British ritual has been transformed into a vital, inclusive Aboriginal rite of passage and challenges non-Aboriginal readers to re-evaluate their assessment of the tradition.

Introduction “I know people talk in terms of rite of passage. But that bow to the guy in the pointy hat was obeisance.” - Lucy Ferriss, 1972 debutante and author of “Unveiling the Prophet: The Misadventures of a Reluctant Debutante.1” “The Veiled Prophet was always an old white corporate guy who wore robes and covered his noggin with a funny-looking crowned veil. But nobody laughed at this getup. Young society women in white dresses actually had to bow down before him.

Things to Remember While Choosing Designer Evening Dresses
Jul 28, 2011 15:36 IST Things to Remember While Choosing Designer Evening Dresses Evening dresses are formal dresses worn by women for special events like formal dinner, wedding receptions or cocktail parties. True to the name these dresses are only worn during evening and are not suited for day times. Designer evening dresses offer exquisite patterns and trends and are available in a range of materials like satin, silk, velvet, chiffon and georgette among others. Some of the common varieties include ball gowns, which are formal wear and are best worn with flashy jewelry. One of the most formal evening dresses include the Ball gowns, which are richly ornate, highly priced and are suitable for elegant functions. Another variety of the ball gown is the A-line dress, which has a bell-shaped bottom and a form fitting bodice and is less ornate than a ball gown. The straight cut sans any pleats accentuates a svelte figure. There are shorter dresses including cocktail dresses which are used for dinner parties or night dance. Trumpet gown is another pretty evening dress which has broad pleats towards the bottom of the gown. The form fitting bodice ensures an elegant contour and enhances the natural curves of the female frames. Another example for an evening dress include a mermaid dress, which has a trail behind the gown and a tight fitting cut Designer evening dresses are typically embellished with beads, jewels and precious stones to enhance its rich feel. In many fashion boutiques, separate sections for evening dresses can be seen which will have a good selection of evening wear of various types.
