I am VERY VERY stuck on what to get....

I want something to the floor, classy, no cleavage. Its turning in to a nightmare to find anything not slutty but that would suit me.

So here are a few ideas. I have "Past boob length" brown hair with some blonde streaks in, kinda a chocolate brown which is shiny. And blue green eyes. The ball is on the 5Th November. So its kinda wintry!

There is also a photo of what my bf is wearing at the bottom. I really don't want to clash with him!



Dress 1
I love this one, I would probably get a dressmaker to make the split a little less obvious, and it doesn't show to much cleavage. =)

Dress 2
I think this one would be very romantic if I pulled my hair on top of my head, and curled it so it came partially down....

Dress 3.
I think this would look good if I did my hair wavey and did a greek goddess look!

Dress 4

I just think this is very Fashionista!

I LOVE the blue one and the green one

I think the blue one would coordinate nicely with your man's uniform. (wow the back on the blue one is just stunning! i can't get over it haha)

I love #1. #3 would also be a good option as it's white and summery themed.

I think #2 is sooo ugly, #4 is way too much for this ball, and #5 is just dress and won't match your guy.

IMHO 2 and 4 are hideous. It's all about 1, 3, and 5! Though I lean way more toward 1 and 5, I love jewel toned silk/satin esp in the holiday and winter seasons.

Oh I remember when my husband and I used to go to the MC ball we always had a blast! But we(wives) never dressed over the top and these dresses IMHO are too much. I actaully got my dress at forever 21 and Windsor lol and No one ever believed me that I did. I actually was one of the ones who actually put enfort on my dress. Marine wives actually have this program where you can get a dress for free, and they were dresses that other Marine wives have previously worn. Crazy huh. But If I had to pick one it would be #4, but you have time, it's till mid NOV, so when the time comes make sure to tell you're Marine, "Happy Birthday Marine!"

i like the first one. i knew a guy who's wife wore a dress that same colour to his marine ball, and they looked lovely together with him in his dress uniform and her in that bright blue.

I know I'm in the minority, but I actually like dress number 4. It is understated because it is black and will go well with your man's uniform. You can dress it up with accessories if you need to. The other dresses seem like to much in my opinion.

I love the blue and the white.
The white would really match because your bf's belt is white and gold

IMO, the green would clash horribly with your bf's uniform

I probally will go for number 1, stich up the split a little bit! So it would be a bit more concervative! =) Its like $300 though....Oh well
