Evening wear, sometimes
also known as court dress due to its creation at royal courts, for women has
its origins in the 15th century with the rise of the Burgundian court and its fashionable and
fashion-conscious ruler Philip
the Good. Wool, in various weaves, was the most dominant fabric for dresses,
and the ladies of the court often simply added a train to their kirtle for formal occasions. Rich fabrics and
fibres were usually the domain of the nobility, and clothing was still used as
an identifier of social rank and status.
The vibrant court life of
the 16th and 17th centuries with its focus on art, literature and music created
a fertile environment for feminine formal clothing. Elaborate dinners, dances,
and theatre productions allowed fashionable ladies to showcase their finery. During this entire period, a ball or
evening dress was synonymous with court dress, as balls took place at court or
in the palaces and salons of the nobility who copied the latest fashions at the
courts. Starting with the late 18th century, the term "evening or ball
gown" emerged, as balls and formal dances were no longer the sole domain
of royals and aristocrats. Today, the evening gown comes in different
silhouettes and even lengths, but the full-skirted ball gown remains the pinnacle of formality.
Evening gowns are worn at various semi-formal black-tie (and sometimes white
tie) functions, including formal dinners, opera and theatre premiere, formal
dances, evening wedding receptions, and charity balls.
