The Hofburg New Year's Eve Ball

Vienna rings in the year in the imperial palace — dinner, the opening polonaise and a waltz at midnight. It is also the evening that opens the city's ball season, all the way to the Opera Ball in February.

The dress code

Full-length ball gown

The first night of the Viennese ball season, and it follows ball rules: floor-length gowns, trains welcome, room to waltz. Gloves are a graceful option.

To be ready in time

  • Made-to-measure — order by 18 November
  • Standard sizes — order by 4 December

Timelines are indicative due to handcrafted production.
