Loehman's is a mecca of reasonably priced formal dresses. You'll want to wear a long dress to the military ball. Also, try TJ Maxx, Ross and Marshall's... I'm normally a label snob, but I got away with a $12 Ross dress at an industry function last spring, and I got so many compliments on my dress... meanwhile my beautiful co-worker, who was dressed to the nines in a designer gown (Michael Kors? I don't know what it was...) didn't get a-one.
First check with your friends and raid their closets. Then hit the discount department stores and upscale consignment shops.
It's all about attitude and the right accessories! Good luck!
ETA: David's Bridal has some inexpensive off-the-rack formal gowns, too. I'm not the hugest fan of their gowns, but you never know what you'll find. Happy Shopping. Definitely check out Loehmans!
