<p>Many clients have enjoyed the advice that Owner Semiha Cantas offers when
it comes to selecting that something special for the increasing number of formal
event around Ottawa, such as the Viennese Ball where attendence is strictly
for ballroom
formal wear. Women are interested in a spectrum of shades in strapless,
vintage and contemporary dresses with pulled
their hair back in intricate updos, while others just let their hair hang loose.</p>
<p>“I love seeing everyone dressed up, and I love watching the performances,” says
Ms Cantas. “There
are so many talented dancers in Ottawa.”. “There is, of course,
a lot of variation, especially among women” . “Most men wear either
tuxedos or formal suits. For women, I’ve
seen attire from homemade Victorian gown and prom dresses to ballroom dance
competition dresses, evening wear and cocktail dresses.” The novelty
of the evening and its attire is on the mind of many attendees. “The
Viennese Ball lets you be ridiculous because a girl can go beyond formalwear
into princess
land.” “I enjoy the Ball because I get to dance, of course,” one
attendee reported. “When
I chose my dress, I make sure it one in which I would be able to dance
in — that would not actually touch the floor. I think flimsy straps or
strapless dresses are kind of a bad idea. It sucks to have to keep pulling
up your straps when you’re twirling.”</p>
