C’mon take me to the Mardi Gras! I have just the ballgown for a carnival ball: yards of taffeta over a fluffy petticoat and a shawl embellished with Mardi Gras-themed sequin appliques. With long purple opera gloves, bold jewelry and a shimmering feathered mask, my combo’s ready for a Mardi Gras Mambo beat.

- With a skirt this full and long, a dress guard is a must. (yes, I’ve ridden to a party in this dress and arrived safely)
-
- If you don’t think purple, gold and green look great together, you certainly aren’t a New Orleans native.
-
- Symbols of the season in sequined appliques: the crown, the jester, the mask, the carnival parade float.
