Where can I get a ballerina length gown?

I've to go to a Sgts Mess Dinner Dance and so there is a dress code. Shoulders must be covered (bolero, shawl etc).

I've been advised on here and in RL that ballerina length will be the way to go but I can't find any!

Can anyone help?

As it's a Sgts mess and a Ceildh I wouldn't go overboard with gownage despite the mess dress code. Something like this would suffice:

Use search terms in google like 'tea length'. That said it might be easier for you to find a maxi dress. Look for something a bit less formal than a gown though.

Really don't go expecting the women to look amazing there. They tend to just throw a bolero over whatever is the right length

As long as it's below knee length, most dresses will be acceptable- you still want to look nice after all!
