mods plz delete this topic. have sent question to Black and White Ball officials
If they're as strict about heels as they were last year, you *might* want to keep looking as far as heels go.
I wore platforms last year... I will actually contact them, that way I dont waste money either way.
Rule of thumb on the heels would be that they point of contact with the floor needs to be wider than the width of a nickel. For safety reason and to preserve the dance floor also.
I wore FAAAAAAT heels last year, they didnt question it.
