There is something wrong in the prize. You added a 0 in the third prize.

It is the Basic shop that you will need to use.

Pretty much the only requirement included in the description is that the ball dress has to be long, nothing about how full and poof the skirt has to be, so I personally see nothing wrong with these less full dresses as long as they're long. Fashion changes and the ball gowns haven't always looked the same, formal attire for women from Regency and Edwardian eras had rather narrow skirts for example.

But obviously the last doll whose screenshot you shared is against the rules. There's a secondary character and she's not even wearing a dress of any kind.

Btw, I totally forgot I wanted to take part in it...

Personally, the way I see it is if the dress is long, even if showing one leg, it's fine.

The person with the second character is definitely not.

I think the confusion is coming from the name of the contest, but in this show, the only requirement (like Rhea mentioned above) is that the dress is long. That's the reason behind I said above.

I guess the 'story' or the 'title' are the ones causing the confusion. Requitements are usually what drive the judging though so I guess let's stick to that.

The show requirements also change from server to server, as well. That's why I was saying requirements are what matter usually.

Since I have a French doll I went on and checked out their FS and these are the first 3 outfits that were shown to me.

... lol

Anyway, there are both absolutely gorgeous and detalied dresses as well as more simple gowns both here and on the French server. If your idea of a ball dress is one with a full skirt then I'm sure that's how you dressed up your doll and that's how you will vote. But other people may have other preferences.

Btw, when I googled for a ball gown (but I used Polish language instead of English) I got an equivalent number of full and narrow skirts, a bunch of dresses with one leg showing and even several short dresses. I got a very similar outcome when I searched for a ball gown in French.

Also a VERY simple explanations of the terms:
Formal wear - a general term for outfits worn during formal occassions, so pretty much everything under this (also national outfits like sari for example).
Coctail dress - worn for a coctail party and semi-formal occassions usually before evening. Commonly considered to mean a shorter and less elaborate dress, think "little black dress". But it used to be long as well (because back then every dress was long so duh!)
Evening gown - a long dress worn for evening and formal occassions. It could be pretty much anything as long as it looks luxurious.
Ball gown - the most formal, worn exclusivly to balls. Must be full-length. Currently mostly considered to mean a full-skirted dress showcasing neckline, worn with a formal shawl/cape/coat, jewellery and opera-length gloves. This idea started around the 50's but previously it depended on the general fashion trends of the times.

Gotta find my e-books about historical fashion :)

** ATTENTION: Are considered as “ready-made” non-customized outfits. You must customize your outfit to at least 50%.

As pretty as they are, some dresses are just slapped on the doll, with no embellishments.   Creativity counts.

I agree.

And to everyone else, I'm not trying to be argumentative... I guess when looking at the entries, I saw a lot that... as Silverstarshine has said, "slapped on the doll, with no embellishments" plus, the ones that were short, etc. 

I'm sorry if I've offended anyone by my views, that wasn't my intent.

I only received 15 Diva Bucks and NO item multipliers, no tokens and no gift vouchers.

I won 2nd place on the CN version of OMD and I also did not get my prize- only 30 DB.
Maybe the prize hasn't been fully credited yet?

Sounds like everyone is receiving the next price down instead of the prize level they should have won. So if you got 3rd place, they are giving you the 4th-10th place prize instead of your deserved prize.
