Guidelines for Ball apparel

Like I have mentioned a few times, there is no costume theme for this year's OSR English/Scottish Country Dance Ball. Semi-formal to formal wear is acceptable.

Guys: Self explanatory. Not quite a black tie event, but jeans aren't a great choice either. ;) 

Girls: Pretty easy to figure out, right? Anything from long sweeping skirts, fancy costumes, or cute party dresses work. You don't HAVE to look like a diva, but why not? :) As long as your outfit fits within these specifications, you are good to go:

+ No dresses above the knee

+ No cleavage

+ Dresses MUST have straps

+ No open backs 

Note that if you do not wish to dance, you don't have to! We recommend it, as English/Scottish Country dancing is very "hands off," fun, and family friendly. Don't be shy! HOWEVER, we understand convictions or personal preferences. There are plenty of snacks and games available for nonparticipants.
