  Definitely 2 or 4. They're classic and modern enough so you can change things up with your accessories and use them for a future event. They're also the prettiest. I'm actually leaning towards 4 though because it's cheapest and it's long which I think is more appropriate for a ball.

  The ball here is not as formal as some I've been to. There were only a few women in floor length gowns last year. Thanks for the input!

  My vote goes to 1 or 5.  I think 1 is cute, but maybe geared more toward a cocktail party.  I lean toward 5 because, like mrsredrox said, it's long and seems more ball-appropriate.

  3 or 5. Isn't your H a squadron CO (or whatever it's called in the AF)? That makes me lean towards 5, the CK, even if you're one of the only ones in a long dress, it's still simple enough that you won't look over dressed.

  I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.

  Yes, he's a Sq CC (same thing as CO, I think). I went ahead and ordered #2 and #5. I'll send back whichever one doesn't look right, but I'm leaning toward the long one because of it being more formal.

  I really like number 5. Classic and beautiful.

  I'm not too good a judge of what would be the best style for your shape, but I'm partial to #5 just cause it's floor length. All of those styles look nice to me though. Hot pink isn't really my personal favorite, but otherwise I do like color in dresses.

  Thanks for making it clicky! Not sure what's going on with my interface here, but it's just not working. Thanks!

  I ordered both 2 and 5 and I'll return whichever one doesn't work for me. Maybe I'll post a pic here when I get them in and see which one looks best on!
