Maybe you ladies can help me out?

I'm going to be attending the WWII weekend in Gettysburg coming up, but I'm clueless as to what to wear to the USO dance on Saturday night!

I'm sure the attire wouldn't be anything formal, but I don't want to be underdressed either.

I have a black shirtdress I was going to wear, but then I looked online and saw that saddle shoes were the way to go. So I'm thinking maybe heels weren't so common? But I'm not sure I can dress down this black dress.

I seem to be clueless.:eusa_doh: Please help?

I think heels would be fine, as long as they are comfy and you can dance in them.
Wedges are also really popular with the dancing ladies since they more stable and easier on the feet. They also come in really cute styles.
I think a black shirt dress is a good choice since it can go with really any color shoe and looks cute with all three styles. (heel, saddle and wedge)
Sounds like fun. Have a great time!

Thanks for the help, Odalisque. Off topic, but have you ever heard the song by the Decemberists titled Odalisque? It's one of my favorites, actually. Kudos on the name!

I have and it defiantly inspired my use of it. I love that song!
Thank you and it's good to meet another Decemberists fan.
