Thanks, everyone! The ball went great! Wore my hair up in a braided bun updo with white flowers, and I actually got an antique silver necklace that shimmered in the light once I polished it to a shine. :) vintage stuff, after all, was encouraged. No stilettos... Just kitten heels, but that was plenty high enough for me, haha. Got asked to dance like the whole time! :) thanks for the advice!

a lovely hairstlye alongwith a nice pair of stilettos and extra dazzling jewellery would do good.

Make sure your shoes and jacket are extra sparkly.

Wear sparkly jewelry or create a fantastic hairstyle. There is a lot you can do to "stand out" and as long as you're having fun, that's all that matters. :)

Sometimes less is more so don't worry I know how u feel. Your dress may b simple but u can still work it especially if it has a nice shape. Look carefully for shoes maybe silver or navy blue w different colors. Get a realy nice hair style that stands out hun n get some awesome make up tips that pull it all together. The ball dress I had was black w sparkles..I was worried too but at the ball every one loved it including me.
