Title: Are you going to get fancy at the Black and White ball?
Post by: Mister_E on March 04, 2008, 04:36:42 PM
For me kind of, I'm still going to wear my cosplay outfit, but I got a tie that has the Union Jack *U.K. Flag* on it.

Well, last year I was thinking about it, but I was afraid that the dress I would wear was too long and would get immensely dirty and ripped. =.=;;

This year, I might just go in a black and white casual dress and heels... maybe. ^^

Well you had better go fancy this year or they won't let you in.  There's a dress code you know!

As for me I will be wearing fancy black pants, nice dress shoes, a white dress shirt, and maybe a jacket.  But it got so hot in the dance last year I might just go with the dress shirt, and maybe a tie.

Hmmm.... either black kimono (kurotomesode) or somethin' slinky.

By the end of the day, I think slinky will win, for sure. Excuse me, I must go shopping now.

BTW, when is it? I'm assuming Saturday night (hopefully) after the dealer's room is closed?

So I got a black Shaolin Monk Robe.  Anyone know if that's acceptable? I'd prefer not to do the suit thing, cause it's just not that original since we're at Fanime and all.

I went last year when they first held it so it was FUN! I might get fancy, but I'll be dressing up as Rinoa again for the B&W Ball. ^^b

Hmm, I wonder if they won't mind my red leopard print dress for gussied up Judy Nails. It's knee-length with elbow length sleeves. Either that or I'll look for my old prom dress or another knee length dress and go as Misa.

Post by: Nina Star 9 on March 18, 2008, 05:27:51 PM
I'm not missing this for anything. I stayed the entire time last year, and it was the highlight of my con trip. I don't know what I will wear this year, though. Last year I just wore my cosplay (it was fancy), but that was totally impractical (strapless top + floor-trailing chiffon and ribbons + holding a masqerade mask), so I will probably wear either my junior prom dress from last year, or my senior ball dress from this year, depending on which one I end up liking better when I finish making this year's dress. This year's mask will strap on to my head, as well. :D

It has to be at least semi-formal. Look up on the dress code for that :3

Hi, new to the event. ;) I plan on going as a gothic lolitia  on Sunday and wear that to the ball, but I'm a bit confused. So are people going to wear their ball outfits through out the coarse of the day or will you have your cosplay on then change?
Title: Re: Are you going to get fancy at the Black and White ball?
Post by: IamTetsuo on March 23, 2008, 04:18:46 PM
I'll be changing, there's no way I'm going to wear a dress shirt, dress pants, and dress shoes all day doing photoshoots.

Definitely something you want to change into right before the event. That's what I'll be doing.

I'll be going if I can find a dress. @_@. i could wear my acen charity ball dress, but its blue and black. I know the traditional B&W scheme inst a requirement....but I would like to be able to fit the color scheme. I have been searching ross twice a week. found once gorgeous dress, only if my chest was smaller V_V. I'll also have to decide to either wear a wig, which wig or what to do about my short hair(will be right above mf shoulder blades) . I haven't had short hair in ages (cutting 9 inches off for locks of love) and don't know what to do with it.  As of right now its all up in the air.

Title: Re: Are you going to get fancy at the Black and White ball?
Post by: suna_no_yoroi on April 10, 2008, 12:35:44 PM
I guess the appeal is the chance to roleplay, or in a way act out a scene from an anime series like Ouran Highschool Hostclub or something.  They typically teach dancing lessons earlier on in the day, and then you get to come back and show off your stuff.

Takes two to dance, one form to support the other. All you need is a good partner.

And no, I won't be attending. I've got nothing to wear to it, and besides, the only girl I'd dance with is very far away right now.
