Deb Ball dress question
I am going to my local deb ball in NC and was wondering if I could possibly wear a tea length dress. The invite says black tie.

I'm guessing no, but I'll defer to the lovely ladies of the Carolinas.

Never been to the South myself, but the deb balls on the West Coast floor length was appropriate. I am thinking down Carolina way it would be better to have a longer dress than a short one.
AIs it your debut, or are you going as a guest?

I was a deb in South Carolina. Our club rules specify that guests at the ball MUST be in tuxes and floor length gowns or they will not be allowed in. I can't speak for all Carolina balls, but I think you should stick with floor length to be safe. You don't want to be turned away or even worse, if you did get in everyone would tell you how cute you looked and then whisper about you behind your back. Just kidding. Well, not really.

At my sister's ball in north Florida, I definitely wore a long dress. I was only 11 at the time, but still. I think Mommy wore a long dress, and Papa wore a tux (duh).

Go for floor, I think. Although there seem to be a LOT of tea-length dresses in the stores lately.

Floor length-and unless you are also being presented, do NOT wear white...like ayone with a choice would.
Have fun!

Yeah that is what I figured, I just have a gorgeous tea length that I am dying to wear. HOWEVER, this means I get a new dress.
Its one of my family's best friends daughters. I have grown up with her. She is at Penn State, but a deb in Gastonia.

I want to be a debutante, but I'm neither 18 nor rich. I can't wait to see all those cotillions on the news in the next few weeks.

I ADORE tea-length, but it looks like you'll have to save it for another event!

Definitely floor length. At my Deb Ball in Louisiana, it was absolutely floor length gowns and tuxes for men, no questions asked.
Have fun! This year was 5 years since my ball, so its the last year I get invited as a former deb (not like I went past my own anyway, but it was still nice to get the invite)

Have fun! I don't too awfully far from Gastonia... my area doesn't have a local ball, and the North Carolina statewide deb ball is impossible to get into... For me anyway!  oh well!
