Okay, here's a website that should help you:

I recommend going with a simple dress in a pretty color. Examples:

Try wearing a matching shawl or scarf or you feel too bare.

As for shoes, find a pair of NICE flats:

Make sure if you get your hair done, it isn't on top of your head, and avoid short dresses, and you should be fine.

Have fun!

Oh, and by the way military balls are very dressy- no skirt-and-top outfits- so nice jeans are completely NOT acceptable.

For the heel issue, wear some fashionable flats to go with your non dressydressy outfit.

if you dont feel comfortable wearing dressydresses then just find a cute skirt with a nice shirt or nice pants like black pants or really nice jeans(no holes or grundgy looking) with a nice shirt and jewerly. and forget the heels just wear nice sandals or shoes. trust me he will just be glad your going with him. and if he really cares about you and likes you for who you are he wont care what you wear.


GOODLUCK!!!!

alright=]. i would suggest wearing a nice dress, but not a poofy one. something along the lines of this: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) see how it's fitted and nice and long, but not too poofy so it's not dressy? and if you get a really long one, people won't know you're not wearing heels so you can wear nice flip flops like things! or some kind of dressy sandals =] i know at dances, people sometimes take their shoes off.. so if you see other people doing that, take advantage of it! lol =P also, don't wear your hair up high because you'll look even taller. if you get your hair done professionally, and maybe they can do your hair to make you look not taller than him =] don't feel silly wearing nice dresses, it's fun! if you get a simple dress and accessorize it up, you'll be fine! good luck baaaaabee♥

Despite being uncomfortable, you're going to have to wear a dressy dress-it's considered rude if you don't.
Check out [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) for ideas, and if you can't afford that, go to local vintage stores or even buy online. If you can't wear high heels, you should probably wear kitten-heels...you can't wear flats or sandals. Don't put your hair up high on your head, and you won't look that much taller.
For the dresses, go don't go for something with sequins or glitter-try a simple dress in a color you like, with minor emblishments. Make sure it's not made of nylon or a lot of lyrca, and hopefull you'll feel comfortable.
Have fun!
