Party Scene Costumes

We are asking everyone in the party scene to please help us out by finding their own costumes.   PLEASE do not feel like you need to make something or go out and buy something unless it's from the D.I. or another thrift store.  Try borrowing clothes and let us know if you cannot find something, so we can help.

Women
We prefer more muted or darker in color or pastels without garish prints.  If you have a formal dress then you are welcome to wear that.  Absolutely no spaghetti straps or sleeveless dresses unless you wear an appropriate shawl, stole or jacket to cover your shoulders.  If you do not have a formal, than a long dress or under the knee/calf length "Sunday Dress" is all right.  Blouses and skirts are okay too.

Tyrolean costumes will be great as long as they aren't very bright colors.  Here's an example:

For formal/Sunday dresses, accessories can include diamonds, pearls, white gloves, shawls, fur stole or jacket.  We do have some wrist length white gloves in our costume storage that you could try.

Please don't wear heels as they can noisily click.  Please wear your black or dark flats or character shoes, if you have them.


Teen Girls
If you want, you can follow the guidelines of the women's clothing and wear a more mature outfit, but we also encourage you to wear more of a "Liesel-type" party dress if you have one.  These should still be more muted, but pastels will work too.  Dresses can be knee length.  You would wear natural colored tights/nylons and black/dark flats.

Men & Teen Boys
You can wear a white shirt, dark or grey suit and a tie, but the tie should be dark or muted color and conservative.  You can wear a hankerchief in your pocket.  If you do not have a suit, you can wear a jacket and pants - but no Dockers.  They need to be dark.  You can also wear a white shirt, a vest, and tie.

Children
Girls can wear their white dresses and dress it up with a cardigan or shawl, or they can change into a party dress or Tyrolean dress, that is a more muted color or pastel.  Boys will wear a white shirt, black pants and tie (I think we're providing the tie).  If you want to add something, you can wear suspenders or a vest.
