What's a tasteful military ball gown?

This is clearly an inappropriate dress for this event. I completely agree with SGM both would've been told to leave immediately.

what was he and she thinking this is a military function not a strip club, come on nether one has respect for one another...

Well, I've seen the next two pics ... As big a pig as I am, even I think she should have at least worn panties.

Yep ...hooker

APPROPRIATE DRESSES YHAT CAN STILL MAKE YOU FEEL SEXY. JUST REMEMBER THAT MOST DRESSES WOULD BE APPROPRIATE IF YOU HOLD YOURSELF AS A LADY.

Denied entry. Not appropriate. Sure, she's a civilian however there is a time and place. Respect, etiquette, and tradition is what you should see at a formal ball.

Nope, whoever wore the rank of 1SG or CSM should've ask them to leave and return with a more appropriate dress

That dress in the picture and the dance would be better behind closed doors. I'm not a prude. I'm all for a good time. But I don't need an audience. Respect for my husband and myself come first. It takes all kinds of people to make the world go round.

I had no idea this simple post would go a little bit viral. What does that say about all of us?

It really does not require a specific act of genius but I have seen some spouses wearing pretty racy stuff. I didn't like it then, and still don't. The vast majority during my two commands were proper, and tasteful. During my last, my Brigade HQ was in Las Vegas, and I saw stuff there that made ME blush. I didn't have to ask anyone anything. It was understood. I always applied the Mom rule.
