I do already own two 'ball gowns'....both floor length that I wore in highschool....
-one is a vintage deep purple halter sweet heart topped dress that actually belonged to my grandmother when she was my age
-the second one is a silvery blue strapless A line with a brown ribbon around the waist....
I am trying to decide which one to wear or wether to get a new one...which I am leaning towards because I love shopping for formal dresses and havn't done it in years
I was wondering though if anyone has attended a military ball and could help me decide or had any tips or anything I should know?
