Ball Attire

    Ok, so I'm heading to a Ball and I've got a pretty, just above the knee dress.
    The problem is shoes. Whats the done thing? Do I wear heels, or do they get stuck in the grass? Or are there sheets put down? Or do the floors get slippy and do I risk slipping and hurting myself?! :D
    I'm 5'11 so technically I don't need to wear heels, but, ya know, girls love to wear high heels...
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    The main question is do ye drink? Not being funny...but if you can handle heels on an everyday basis then you're sorted, if not heels for the pre drunkeness and a handbag size pair of flats for ...err...the later on part is a must. [snip] Cobbles are a nightmare when drunk.

    Itll be a mix match of every style so dress to be honest so anythin will go! Girls wores short skirts and fun colourful wellies for a [snip] ball last week!

    Discussion of the two main Dublin college balls is not permitted due to them being promoted by a certain company that shall not be named.
    Thank you.

    Because they're operated by the company mentioned in the charter. The tents have floors, nowhere else does though, could be dangerous if it rains, you'd want to be a pro in heels. Worth sticking a pair of flats in your bag (nobody has small bags really!) anyway. Wearing delicate heels that don't take kindly to drink/dirt isn't the smartest. I'd recommend heels over sandals.
