Wanted: Ball gown/formal dress

**Lindsey** · 10-02-2008, 10:57 AM

I need a floor length formal dress for a military ball. I can't wear my others because I have gained some weight since I stopped working out. I like classic things, but open to all ideas (that have a great price). No red or orange please, they don't go well with my skin.

Thanks!

... maybe someone can help, if they knew your size?

**Michelle** · 10-02-2008, 12:15 PM

Yes, please let us know what size you are ISO.

I have a closet full of prom/ball dresses. Various sizes. Not sure if any of them are your size but you're welcome to e-mail me. From my Godmothers failed consignment shop venture, lol. Some are atrocious 80's style ruffle/sequin infested nightmares but a few are really pretty.

Anyone else need a few dresses? lol

oh yeah, sorry. 14/16.

Lindsey,

Did you look on Ebay?? I just put ball gown and your size in and I came up with dresses in the $75-$100 range......some nice looking black ones that would look great with your husbands dress uniform : )

I will keep looking around and see what I can see.

Yes, but that price to me is CRAZY high. The only dress I have bought new(I have been lucky to find some at thrift stores) so far for one was at JCPenny's for $50. and I splurged because it was one for when he came home from deployment. I have found one http://www.lightinthebox.com/Elegant...0-_p24729.html that is an okay price if I can't find something cheaper. Keeping toes crossed for a better deal (yes I'm cheap )

Thanks for your help!!

I have a Coral one and a Pink one. I wore both of them to different military balls.

**Day~Dreamer** · 10-06-2008, 12:30 PM

So I checked the sizes and they are 13/14 If you are interested I will post pics. Let me know.

**Lindsey** · 10-06-2008, 01:54 PM

Yes, I would love pics! Thanks!

The coral dress is a bit wrinkled on the bottom. They are both stain free though. They will just need to be dry cleaned.

OOOH! Very nice selection. I personally think the 2nd from left brown satin is GORGEOUS. I think that style/color would be so flattering on just about anyone. You'd certainly turn heads wearing that

Now I wish I had a formal affair to go to because I want it....LOL!!

Day~Dreamer: Thanks for the pictures. I don't think either one of those dresses will do. I have rosacea so my face is on the red side (I look like I was in the sun a little to much) and those color bring out the redness. Thanks for posting!
