Simplicity and Elegance are the 2 main factors that this dress must have. The people running the Military Ball underline the importance of wearing a dress that’s refined and pleasing to the eye. Some wise advice from a Naval officer himself is try not to wear the same color of dress as your date. If you are not familiar with the colors of the uniforms, the list follows:
Army- Green or Black Uniforms
Navy- White or Blue(which looks like a black) Uniforms
Air Force- Lighter Shade of Blue Uniforms
Marines- Red and Black Uniforms
Coast Guard- Blue Uniforms
Don’t allow yourself to think very narrow of a dress for a Military Ball. Just because its not prom, doesn’t mean you should be completely dreary of your dress. It is suggested that you wear a floor length dress, a dress that accentuates your body, but isn’t clingy. Red, toned-silver, purple, gold, tan, green, blue, sometimes black depending on the patterns or flare, are common colors worn to a Military Ball Event. Long, Strapless dresses are fine, for they are classy and chic in taste. Try to minimize the exposure of too much skin. This includes low cut necklines, and dresses that are opened from the sides. Try to limit designs and decorations on the dress. Think long, graceful, elegant, and a dress that will flatter your body frame and skin tone. You might put that headlight on you when trying to look your best, however it is essential that you look complimentary to your date as well. Back in the day, soldiers use to tease and say, they would bring there dates to show off. Not seen as a joke now, since you’re date is person of honor and respect. Try to cover up any tattoos, and wear your dress confidently. Hair and nails are a must, and make note that you wear shoes that will feel comfortable throughout the night.
You’re goal for the night is to leave an admiring impression they will never fail to remember.
