Ball Gowns at Potomac Mills Mall - Woodbridge, VA

Yes...every one has a different definition of a " designer cocktail dress" or even a ball gown.

However, when I attended Embassy cocktail parties or the Marine Ball, the classic-styled, short black dress was "de rigueur".

My favorite ball gowns and cocktail dresses were not designer numbers...They did not even have a label.

They were simply styled - one with an empire waist, the other with a basque waist - and made in two colors - a bronze gold and an aquamarine.

The fabric? Raw silk fabric found at the local bazaar. Add Kuchi bangles and jewelry and voila!

You're ready to make an appearance at a string of parties.

That was then...No local bazaar at Potomac Mills Mall but this is where I would look for a designer cocktail dress, ball gowns or any type of formal wear worthy of the Marine Corps or Army Ball:

  • Nordstrom Rack, of course

  • Saks Off 5th

  • Group 1 USA

  • Neiman Marcus "Last Call"


  • Each is basically a one stop shop to complete an entire outfit!

    There is a Tahari store in Neighborhood 4. Every so often T.J. Maxx and Marshalls have surprise finds.
