English term or phrase: coming out ball
radnja je smestena u Ameriku krajem XIX veka.

Dve starije zene razgovaraju o devojci za koju smatraju da je isuvise razuzdana.

We must always remember the eccentric bringing up she had. What can you expect of a girl who was allowed to wear black satin at her coming out ball?

bal uvoðenja u društvena dogaðanja / zadjevojèenja


Explanation:
bal kojim se 'proglašava' da djevojèica više nije djevojèica nego je djevojka, te se predstavlja društvu i kreæe 'u lov' na muža... tj. stavlja mladiæima do znanja da mogu od najstarijeg muškarca u porodici (otac ili, ako je deceased, brat, stric, ujak...) tražiti njenu ruku... to je nešto kao prvi izlazak na "korzo" hahaha

no, vjerujem da objašnjenje i nije bilo potrebno, al' eto... u naletu inspiracije!
