Top 10 Tips for Choosing a Classy, Not Trashy Military Ball Dress

It's that time of year again for this Marine Corps Spouse. Our birthday ball is fast approaching and USMC spouses everywhere are out looking for that perfect ball gown. Oh, how I envy our male counterparts in the military spouse world this time of year. What man doesn't look good in a tux? And short of renting a powder blue one with a neon green cummerbund...you really can't go wrong. But for the ladies, well, a lot can go wrong. Over the past 13 years I have been witness to some serious fashion disasters. Those are images that you just can't get out of your head.

This is the perfect time to tackle a Top 10 List that can help us all show up to whatever ball we will attend this year looking our best. Be warned. I am old fashioned. I am a fierce advocate of covering your behind. If you are hell bent on wearing that cute little number you found in the idress Catalog...this piece might not be for you. I want us to remain friends. Let's just agree to disagree, ok?
Floor length is best.
Oh, I know, I know...that's an old-fashioned statement.To be fair, I did just warn you. But if your ball is considered formal, then it is customary to wear something floor length. How do you know if it is formal? A good rule of thumb is to find out what uniform is required of your spouse. In the Marine Corps, if they are wearing their dress blues (especially if they are wearing medals and not just ribbons), it is appropriate to wear a formal gown. Formal indicates floor length.

If not floor length, then PLEASE check the wind advisory
If there is any chance, at all, that your gown will not sufficiently cover your bum for any reason or at any point in the evening; get another gown. This includes wind, dancing or bending over to pick up your purse. We don't really want to see your thong underwear; we would rather leave that up to the imagination, thank you. Remember ladies; if your fingertips touch flesh when you put them by your side; there is a chance we can see more than we want. In the age of camera phones; well, I am just trying to have your back; in a manner of speaking.

There should be no reason for tape
If in order to keep your dress in place you require any form of tape; sports tape, masking tape, duct tape; it might be time to reconsider your selection. I don't really think this needs further explanation, do you?

Your dress shouldn't look like a jigsaw puzzle missing pieces
what I am talking about. We have all seen dresses with slits up to the crotch, non-existent backs that come very close to being an after school special about the dangers of crack, or mid-sections that look like they were cut out by a kindergartener who didn't have a nap. It does not matter if you have a body that would make Barbie jealous; formal attire means that the dress starts somewhere at the top of your body, ends somewhere beneath the knees; and there are no holes in between.

We all appreciate a great set of knockers, but not tonight
If the only thing between your nipple and the eyes of your husband's Commanding Officer is a centimeter of fabric or one wrong twist to reach for your ice tea; Houston, we have a problem. For goodness sake; cover the girls, please. We all know they are there; I promise.

Know your TRUE size.
You will never read a status update from me bragging about how I finally fit back into those size 4 jeans from high school. (Lets totally skip over the fact that they would be acid washed and tight-rolled anyway). I am not a thin woman. But no matter what size you are, you can find a dress that fits, covers all the right parts, and still looks classy. Last time I checked no one was asking to see size tags when they take your ticket. So forget what the stupid tag says and buy the dress that fits. I know I don't care what size the gown claims to be. I don't want to spend the whole night feeling like a stuffed sausage with cute earrings.

Color matters
It is not always possible to find a dress that"matches" a spouse's uniform in whatever small town the military moved you to this year. But, there are some things that probably should be avoided. Neon is not a good look for anyone. It wasn't in the 80's either. It is not coming back. Let's move on. The same goes for any prints that try to look like an animal on safari. I promise, in 10 years you will cringe every time you see that picture hanging in the hallway. And you will always wonder if the DJ's selection of"Eye of The Tiger"was intended just for you

Do not shop in the Prom section
Have you seen one lately? It is like a Toddlers and Tiaras episode gone very wrong. Every time my husband passes by one, he buys a new gun in anticipation of prom night in a few short years. I promise, if you shop in the prom section of your local department store; you might as well throw away all of these guidelines and get out the Fredrick's catalog.

No need to take out a loan, ladies.
There is absolutely no reason, unless you are just swimming in cash and really want to, to spend hundreds of dollars on a gown. It is perfectly acceptable to shop on Craigs List, in thrift stores, or the clearance rack. You can even rent a gorgeous dress from Rent the Runway! It is also perfectly acceptable to borrow from a friend or, wait for it;wear the same dress you did last year!!! Your spouse will wear the same uniform to every ball for as long as they are in the military. Sometimes it is changed up a bit with the seasons, and of course they add more bling with more ribbons, etc. So what is the big deal about you doing the same? Wear a different shawl, buy some new heels, or wear different bling. But you do not have to buy a new dress every year. I have a standby, floor length, classy black gown in the back of my closet. If I can't find a reasonably cheap ball dresses that year;then I wear it. And not one single person cares.

The ball is not about YOU
I realize this sounds harsh, but it needs to be said. Balls are to celebrate the servicemember. They are to celebrate the traditions and heritage of their branch of service. The night is about THEM, not YOU. That doesn't mean you can't look amazing. That doesn't mean you can't have a great time. That doesn't mean you should be a wall flower. But keeping that in perspective always grounds me when I am shopping for;the perfect dress

How to Dress for Any Special Occasions

The Occasion: A Dinner Party
Old etiquette: A little black dress and heels.
short sheath sleeveless black satin v neck slit cocktail dress
New etiquette: Gauge your outfit by the party.

What to wear: Given the number of variables (what time of year is it? who are your hosts? is it a special occasion?), there’s no one right answer, which can make things a bit tricky. If you underdress, you risk offending your dinner companions. Overdress by a mile and “you can make your host feel inadequate, insecure, or uncomfortable,” etiquette authority Sue Fox points out. The solution: “Ask the host for advice,” says fashion consultant Lauren A. Rothman. It’s the best way to find out if you’re in for a denim-welcome get-together or a more buttoned-up, skirt-and-blouse affair. Still worried about hitting the mark? "Stash dangly earrings or a pretty scarf in your bag to dress up an outfit if need be," advises etiquette authority Lizzie Post.

The Occasion: A Business Dinner or a Company Party
Old etiquette: Your nine-to-five wear puts in some overtime.
indigo sleeveless tank bodice short draped a line cocktail dress

New etiquette: Keep things professional (you’re still working) but in line with the event.Party cocktail dresses nz will fit perfect!

What to wear: When you’re dressing for a work function, the culture of your office should prevail. “If it’s a conservative environment, dress conservatively for events, too,” says fashion stylist Joseph Williamson. But no matter how relaxed your office environment or the occasion (that means you, company picnic!), never wear anything provocative. “A too-revealing outfit can prevent you from being taken seriously when it comes to job promotions,” warns Fox. And, yes, that includes the “sexy cat” costume you’ve been eyeing for the annual Halloween bash.

For business dinners, office wear is appropriate (provided your workplace isn’t overly casual): trousers with a refined sweater or a blouse and blazer. If you’re going to a work party straight from the office, try a sheath or a wrap dress in a dark shade, or “wear a suit and bring along a feminine blouse and evening-appropriate shoes, like in a metallic shade,” suggests Leah Ingram, an etiquette authority and the founde, based in New Hope, Pennsylvania. “Or you could simply swap your jewelry for something a little bolder―a chunky necklace instead of pearls.” As for that company picnic, choose knee-length shorts and a short-sleeve top, or a sundress with sandals―nothing ripped, frayed, or strapless.

The Occasion: A Job Interview
Old etiquette: A conservative dark suit. End of story.
pleated chiffon sheath red knee length cocktail dress cap sleeves

New etiquette: You can’t go wrong with a suit, but in many fields it’s not the only (or best) choice.The discount ball dresses nz also good.

What to wear: At large, traditional companies, suits are still the standard. “There aren’t appropriate alternatives to a suit, and wearing one tells me you are seriously interested in the position,” says legal recruiter Kim Mains, manager of legal recruiting for Cozen O’Connor, a law firm based in Philadelphia. However, in many creative or artistic fields―design, media, retail, technology―it can be a plus to step outside of the box: Try a sheath dress with a wide belt and a cardigan, or a pencil skirt with a blouse and a cropped jacket. “When I’m hiring, I like to see an outfit that tells me the candidate has a personal sense of style,” says Paul Howalt, creative director and owner of Tactix Creative, a branding firm in Mesa, Arizona.

That said, no matter how casual the environment, don’t assume that it’s cool to wear jeans to an interview. “Don’t dress as if the job is yours,” cautions Peri Hansen, a senior client partner at Korn/Ferry International, an executive-search firm in Los Angeles. When in doubt, she says, “call the interviewer’s assistant or the HR executive and ask what’s appropriate. It shows interest and respect.” In all cases, your clothing should be impeccably clean, ironed, and tailored. Under no circumstances should it be skimpy, plunging, or tight.

The Occasion: A Baptism, a Bar Mitzvah, or Some Other Religious Ceremony
Old etiquette: Trot out the Sunday finery. Florals welcome, hats and gloves preferred!
knee length sheath slate blue lace queen anne neck cocktail dress cap sleeves
New etiquette: Honor the occasion in attire that is tasteful, not stuffy.

What to wear: For starters, “choose an outfit that’s appropriate in a religious facility―not too low-cut or clingy,” says etiquette authority Lizzie Post. (If you’ve never been to a particular house of worship, it’s a good idea to double-check its conventions.) Just as important is steering clear of anything overly serious when you’re celebrating a happy milestone in a child’s life. For a baptism, “wear a little bit of color, like a bright suit or a pretty daytime dress,” says Post. The dress code for a Bar Mitzvah or a Bat Mitzvah can be determined by the party held afterward. “If the party immediately follows the service, you’ll wear the same thing to both, so put on a cocktail dress, but make sure to cover up with a jacket or a shawl at the temple,” says fashion consultant Lauren A. Rothman. “If there’s a break before the reception, you may want to change.” A feminine suit works well for the service; wear something dressier to the party.

The Occasion: A Funeral or a Wake
Old etiquette: If you’re in mourning, you’re in black.
knee length ball gown satin sleeveless illusion black draped cocktail dress
New etiquette: Your outfit doesn’t have to be black; it does have to be respectful.

What to wear: What’s most important is to convey the somberness of the event, which can be accomplished with toned-down clothing in “dark neutrals, like navy, brown, and forest green,” says etiquette expert Leah Ingram. (Pantsuits and lightweight wool dresses are a safe bet.) Dark and discreet patterns are also fine, as are quiet and classic accessories, like pearls and stud earrings. “This is not the time for your orange-and-yellow Indonesian necklace,” says Rothman. Adds Post, “You shouldn’t be wearing anything festive or fun, unless you’ve been told otherwise.” If you suspect something might be pushing the envelope, skip it.

The Occasion: A Night at the Theater, the Ballet, or the Opera
Old etiquette: All about puttin’ on the ritz.
tea length gold beaded black tulle a line cocktail dress crop top
New etiquette: You’ve got a pretty wide berth. Still, spiff it up!

What to wear: Once upon a time, these evenings out were considered a license to dress to the nines. Nowadays, though, you’re more likely to spot jeans and an I Heart NY T-shirt at a Broadway show than formal wear. But just because you can be casual doesn’t mean you should be. “You paid a fair amount for a nice evening out, so why drop the ball when it comes to your outfit?” says wardrobe consultant Amy Lindquist. On opening night, “go for broke and dress as you would for any black-tie occasion. Otherwise, dress as for a cocktail party: a sophisticated suit or a tailored shirt, trousers, and heels,” advises fashion stylist Joseph Williamson. But recognize regional differences. “In Burlington, Vermont, we would not show up to the ballet in an evening gown. But plenty of people in New York City do,” says Post. “Know your town and what’s expected.” And if ultimately you feel that you absolutely prefer to be in jeans, choose a pair in a dark wash with no holes or distressing.

The Occasion: A Good First Impression (a First Date, Meeting the In-Laws, School Functions)
Old etiquette: A conservative twinset and a skirt to show how ladylike you are.
blue knee length long sleeve a line jersey twisted v neck cocktail dress
New etiquette: Dress true to your personality―but this isn’t the time to take risks.

What to wear: First and foremost, you should feel like you. "Select an outfit that makes you feel great about yourself," says fashion stylist Joseph Williamson. “If there’s a particular color you look really good in or a pair of pants you’ve gotten a lot of compliments on, start with that.” The cautionary note: As the old saying goes, you never get a second chance to make a first impression, so avoid potential eyebrow-raisers. “Don’t wear anything too tight or short, and don’t try too many trends at once,” says fashion consultant Lauren A. Rothman. “For a first date, pick an outfit that’s colorful and feminine and leaves something to the imagination, like a wrap dress.”

An easy but proper ensemble for a school event would be a sheath with a cashmere wrap or trousers and a jacket. When meeting the in-laws, look to your partner for cues about how formal (or not) his family is. (Why deny yourself a cheat sheet?) “Definitely find out their expectations and how they like to dress,” says etiquette authority Lizzie Post. “My boyfriend’s parents were perfectly happy to meet me in jeans and a tee, but others might be more traditional.”

The Occasion: A Party That Calls for “Festive Attire”
Old etiquette: What old etiquette? Hosts only recently began confounding their guests with the f-word.
embroidered black lace sleeveless short a line two tone cocktail dress
New etiquette: Get dolled up; have fun with it.Select cheap occasion dresses but elegant show it to your friend.

What to wear: “‘Festive’ means wearing playful cocktail attire,” explains etiquette authority Sue Fox. “There are lots of options, from slinky tops with dressy slacks to a dress in a bold color or print.” Or start with a little black dress and dial it up with a fancy clutch and something glittery, like a cocktail ring or chandelier earrings. You might consider whether there’s a theme at play and “if you can incorporate that into your attire,” says Post. Don’t overdo it, though. For a Cinco de Mayo bash, you could opt for a peasant top and large hoop earrings, but hold the line there; you don’t want to cross into costume territory. And when a holiday invitation calls for festive attire, don’t feel pressured into wearing anything that’s red or green―or that features reindeer.
