Nobody could deny the timelessness of a ball gown dress. It remains to be the ultimate fantasy for women of all ages to be clad with flowing, long gowns and never-ending layers of fluffy fabric. If given a chance, no one could really keep a girl from getting her hands on one. It has become a perennial favorite for any occasion that some even prefer to have it as short wedding dresses.
... my one aim and concentrated purpose shall be and is to show that women can learn, can reason, can compete with men in the grand fields of literature and science ... that a woman can be a woman and a true one without having all her time engrossed by dress and society.
—M. Carey Thomas (1857–1935)

An emerging common trend nowadays is some contemporary modifications to a classic and traditional ball gown dress.

Our democracy, our culture, our whole way of life is a spectacular triumph of the blah. Why not have a political convention without politics to nominate a leader who’s out in front of nobody?... Maybe our national mindlessness is the very thing that keeps us from turning into one of those smelly European countries full of pseudo-reds and crypto-fascists and greens who dress like forest elves.

Another thing to be considered is the actual pattern of the ball gown dress. A number of the most notable ball gown dress features a different cut from the more traditional ones. This new cut would allow more skin exposure on top, like for example, those off-shoulder looks.
