What's a tasteful military ball gown?

All she was wanting to do is get every other troops attention, and I feel he failed by letting her attend dressed in that manner.. My thoughts

I remember this couple, I was at that ball!

That's tasteful alright....TASTELESS!!! OMG JUST DISRESPECTFUL to every military member there...

well at least she had the body to wear it..........not sure its going to help his OER however lol

I have been to many military balls both as an enlisted man & an officer. There is NO WAY that would EVER have been permited!!!!

I think it's tasteless and she shouldn't been able to enter unless she had some type of cover-up on like a wrap.

Totally inappropriate for the function.

Seriously has a retired lower enlisted what does that tell other service members

Definitely not this... It's disrespectful!!!!

Prior to a military ball there were always a set of regulations in regards to what appropriate attire was that were sent out to everyone. If a female was going to wear a dress it had to be a single piece dress that covered at least the space from her chest to about 6 inches bellow her knees at least. Split dress, either ones with a split or ones such as the one this woman is wearing were not allowed. That's what I remember from the dress code in regards to dresses, but just those few guidelines I know rule out a LOT of options since we seem to be in a time period where everyone feels that it's necessary for everyone and their mothers to see parts that should remain private.
