I wanna to get all dressed up.. plus he likes it. the marine corps birthday is nov 10, so their ball is usually around that date. *FCZsGirl* 07-23-2008, 09:17 PM Navy Ball is in Oct every year. Damn, neither one of us will be there for it. :mumble SemperFiWife 07-23-2008, 09:18 PM Marines ball is in November. :) girl20racer 07-23-2008, 09:19 PM Here's one that was a bridesmaid dress from David's that I wore to one ball http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/girl20racer/Wedding/BachelorEtte%20Party/47b6ce20b3127cce8d9c42f3b4e70000001.jpg This one I had to get in S.

I was wondering if I could actually get a bridesmaids dress or not! Now I know I can :) 2123wife 07-23-2008, 09:25 PM Davids Bridal is where my dress is from but I got it off ebay for WAY cheaper:) Dskate4 07-23-2008, 09:26 PM For my first Military Ball (Army), I wore this dress: http://www.rayliadesigns.com/gallerydetails.asp?main_id=1028&sname=&cname=MAIDS&cat_id=28&subcat_id=0 and for my second Military Ball (Army again), I wore this dress in the ESPRESSO color (brown..not the green that initially comes up): http://www.alfredangelo.com/Collections/ProductDisplay.aspx?productID=bef15164-6caa-4013-9f14-cfe2dc896895&categoryID=772f03c9-de43-4942-bfa0-da77e21ebd65&pg=0 Hope that helps!! I feel like as long as they are to the knee or longer, everything is fine. wcchick712 07-23-2008, 09:26 PM 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) Dskate4 07-23-2008, 09:26 PM 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. andreacc 07-23-2008, 09:30 PM 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. http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z248/acc_1987/Joe%20an%20I/homeball.jpg breechum 07-24-2008, 12:17 AM I've gotten them at Davids Bridal and I even got one at Fashion Bug. llhall13 07-24-2008, 12:32 AM i got mine from Nordstroms |
