I have to go to a wedding next month. I don't tell people about my MS except for family and close friends. My walking and balance have gotten pretty bad and I have drop foot not to mention the toes on my right foot are almost always numb. I have to find and buy some kind of dressy dress to wear and can obviously only wear flats. Has anyone had to attend a formal occasion and can give ideas or advice as to what would look ok?

Hi Jodee...I was going to send u images of dresses with flats but my phone won't allow it. Try googling cocktail dresses with flats and look at the images. They have a ton of cute and chic ideas. I find myself reverting back to my flats...especially at church..having to chace after a 1 yo. Lol. Remember it's all about how u feel when u wear it, don't let the dress and flats wear u, U WEAR THAT DRESS AND FLATS GIRL!!! I'm expecting to see pics too after u wear it. Blessings....
I'm only 5-1 but I no longer wear anything but flats...can't even do wedges safely or gracefully. I don't care. Rather have function than fashion.
I'm 6' tall, so I've "had" to wear flats long before my balance was an issue. This past October I wore a long pleated dress (think Roman style) with simple ballet flats. No one noticed my shoes. And if they did, no one mentioned them. I've also worn dresses of a cocktail/tea length with similar ballet shoes. The best part is, they're not expensive! They don't offer much support, but it's better than falling over. Or... what about accessorising with a pretty cane? Just tell people you hurt your ankle/knee/hip
Thank you for your response and for the links, CoolLioness! Very helpful and made me feel a little better :). Really appreciate it!
I've done it! Better that then falling, you'll probably feel even more self-conscious if that happened. Besides, if anyone asks just tell them you broke your toe or something. ;)
