[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you who are pro mess dress, are you military spouses or civilians?

Before I married into the military, or in the very early years of our marriage, I would have said mess dress, without a doubt.

After years of being a military spouse, my answer is firmly tux, since that is what OP wants.  I would also say tux if I was in the same situation.

I believe all of my military spouse friends would also say tux over mess dress, but my sisters and non military friends would say mess dress, very enthusiastically.

If he wants mess dress, he should wear it, unless she knows something about her work environment that would be hostile toward it.
He's a big boy and should be allowed to dress himself.

FWIW, my DH is always trying to convince ME to wear the mess dress for formal events.  No way - it's ugly, don't own one, not spending money on that!  I'd much rather wear a nice gown or cocktail dress.  My body, my choice.  His body, his choice.[/quote]
