@laceyoyo I don't see why not. They never ask who is going or for any info. Make sure you act accordingly and don't try to drink any alcohol and everything should be ok.

thanks so much! I have a quick question... I have a red dress, full length ballgown with sparkles at te top and the back is out, is that ok?

[Supergirl823]

@kimmie0893 Whatever you are confident in. Lots of people wear full length it's when it's a full shirt that it looks like a prom dress.

Okay thanks :)

I was wondering, if you are under the age of 21 are you still allowed to go with your spouse or well in this case would I be able to go with my bf?

[kimmie0893]

should I wear a shawl with it because the back is mostly out?

thank you for posting this. It was really helpful to know what to expect in part one, there were things i hadn't known... I'm a new army gf and going to the ball this coming week and i really needed some history/backround on what to expect. You're an angel! God Bless!!!!
