I'm not part of the Engineers nor am I assigned to an Engineer unit, do I still wear my uniform or should I be looking for a ball gown? I am a 31B and assigned to the Detachment on post. My husband's unit is attending the Engineer Ball in June.

When I went to wife's event, I was in civilian dress. When she went to mine, she was in civilian dress. We never had a problem...

The way I see it, it is your significant others unit having the formal - if so - I believe you have a choice. the question you should ask is this - I already have appropriate attire to attend the formal, should I go out and spend $200 - $400 on a gown you will wear maybe 4 times before a new one is needed ( and I say this because everyones body changes over time and what fits today may not fit 3-4 years from now)

My wife and I were such a couple for about eight years
As others have already stated correctly it’s your choice there is no wrong answer talk to your spouse you guys decide what you’re most comfortable with
My wife and I were young at the time and neither of us really own appropriate civilian attire so we went to each other’s military events in uniform
