11 Beautiful Gowns for the Military Ball

The Marine Corps Birthday Ball is already next month! All year I get excited to pick out a beautiful dress to dance in as my husband’s date.  I used Rent the Runway two years ago when we were in the States to wear the rose gold dress above by Badgley Mischka – it is gorgeous in person! There’s so many feminine and classy dresses this year to choose from. Here are some of my favorites…

1. Princess Dress from Asos
2. Marchesa Notte Eden Gown from RTR
3. Floral Jadore from RTR
4. Backless Navy Long Sleeve from Asos
5. Pomegranate Gown from RTR
6. Badgley Mischka Award Winner Gown from RTR
7. Floral Dress from Asos
8. Marchesa Notte Clea Gown from RTR 
9. Tena Gown from RTR
10. Badgley Mischka Flora Gown from RTR
11. Rose Gown from Asos
Earrings
Classic Clutch from RTR

I always have Cam help me narrow it down. His top two picks are the long sleeve navy gown and the very last one in rose, which is on sale for $29!

Which is your favorite??
Happy gown shopping to anyone else going to a military ball or looking for a special occasion dress!

    I love getting dressed up for the AF ball! I actually wore that green Badgley Mischka dress to the ball 2 years ago in red. It was a hit! My vote is the long sleeve navy dress πŸ™‚

    I use Rent the Runway anytime there's a ball or event! I love the dark floral dress- it's stunning. It's on my list for when I need a formal gown. I always try to go for something I probably wouldn't buy when I rent, because you can!

      I love that one, too! And I am with you – it's on my list for next time RTR will ship to our address!

    I'm all about the floral print! Love em! I probably won't be going to a military ball for a while, but I'll keep swooning over these dresses!

    I always LOVE seeing your gown choice every year!! Can't wait to see which you pick!! ALL of these are gorgeous! Seriously swooning over them!! I love the two that Cam picked – that Navy one is so beautiful with its back! I also love https://www.renttherunway.com/shop/designers/badgley_mischka/award_winner_gown – it reminds me of a dress that Princess Kate wore that was gorgeous! πŸ™‚ And the green one is so pretty too… okay I love them all. *smiles* Can't wait to see which one you pick! πŸ™‚

    You'll be gorgeous in any of them hanging on your man! But I am a sucker for an emerald jewel-tone color! But yes… you should also go for comfort because I don't think Cam will complain about any of them πŸ˜‰ looooooove — lanneybear
