So, I need wurzeltod's help. I am to go to a masquerade ball but I am without dress- nothing I have is suitable. I'm also on a strict budget right now so can't afford too much but I'm going to get my make-up done by a friend who's really good at is and do my own hair.
I am open to all suggestions right now and as much as I'd like to go all out, from what I have heard from other girls going to this, it won't be overly dressy up, even for a masquerade ball. Guys all wearing suits/ties/bows, etc. Another issue to work with is that I'm on the petite side- but normal enough, prob 5'6, or 5'7, but no unending legs

Really would appreciate any advice!
