If you have gone to a Ball for your SO's branch, where did you get your dress?

the marine corps birthday is nov 10, so their ball is usually around that date.

For my first Military Ball (Army), I wore this dress:

and for my second Military Ball (Army again), I wore this dress in the ESPRESSO color (brown..not the green that initially comes up):

Hope that helps!!
I feel like as long as they are to the knee or longer, everything is fine.

Well, it's a rare thing to find but there's this olive dress at Marshall's, retain is 995 but we're selling it for 160.. I want to buy it so badly!! but I have no ball to go to. I would definitely try the anchor stores on their clearance.. I say clearance because I'm cheap, but do as you wish :] the first place that comes to my mind is Nordstrom's (sp)

oh I got them both at local shops in the town that I live. The second one had to be ordered in the brown color.

I got mine a week before the ball last year at a local dress shop. It was a bit on the pricy side for me. This year im gonna try to get on the after homecoming sales.
