You've been to military balls. Like me, you've seen a wide variety of ball gowns. What is an appropriate ball gown? What is not? Can you give or show example?

I've look at the photo for a bit, and the only thing I can say with all honesty is that it really doesn't seem to be the appropriate garment for this specific occasion. Power to the woman for feeling confident with herself to wear such a dress. This is more a dress one would wear to go club hopping and not an elegant affair such as the military ball. I do, however; think her hair and heals are quite lovely and she is obviously a fit woman.

If this is an official military ball then absolutely not...as a female veteran I find this distasteful and disgraceful to not only to women everywhere. ..but, extremely disrespectful to women who wear or have worn the uniform.

The gown wasn't too tasteful, but she was pretty tasty.

Ok, it's a crippy question. Personally, I think I look best in black and heels.

Have you been working undercover? How was it? Were you propositioned? How did you handle that?

It probably wouldn't be so bad if she wasn't acting a fool. I personally think sexy is good. This is just slutty! If she was acting appropriately it wouldn't look that bad!

This gown is very inappropriate. I'm sure the unit put out to all soldiers and spouses as to what is acceptable and what is not. I have been to three military balls and thank goodness no one had the audacity to wear something so revealing. You are representing your spouse in the military not going out whoring around. Jeez get it together ladies.
