(A Black Tie Event)

Ladies

• Long gowns are encouraged but not required.

• Modest and becoming gowns that are appropriate.

• Short dresses and slits must be finger tip length (mid thigh).

• Spaghetti straps and strapless gowns are permitted, however no plunging necklines.

• Undergarments must be worn under gown.

• No side or front cut-outs in dresses below the natural bra line.

• The gown's back may not be lower than the smallest portion of the natural waist line.

• No see through gowns are permitted.

• Please use your utmost discretion when selecting a gown to assure that it is tasteful and above reproach.

• Note about dresses: For your benefit, please make sure that your dress stays "secure" when you jump up and down, wiggle, or any other dance move. Over the years we have watched our young ladies struggle to keep their dresses "in place" while trying to dance.  You will have a much more enjoyable evening if you are not fighting your dress all night.

•  

Gentleman

• Tuxedo or Dress Suit (A Dress Suit or Tuxedo is defined as matching pants and jacket. Black jeans and/or sports coats are not acceptable formal attire)

• No earrings

• Neck ties, Bow Ties, or Bola are required

• A collared, button up shirt is required (no t-shirts)

•  

All Attendees:

• No visible tattoos or body piercing (clear spacers may be used to insure that "piercings" do not close. These are available most places where body piercings are sold.)

• No Tennis Shoes

• Dress Code will be strictly enforced

• It is uncomfortable for the Chaperones to ask our young ladies to accompany them to the restroom to correct dresses outside of the dress code, however they will do just that. Please make sure that you are within the above guidelines. (If in doubt, err on the side of the conservative.)
• You will have a much more enjoyable time in the dress that you purchased than one that has to have a "scarf", "lace", or other doctored items in order for you to remain at the prom within the dress code. Regrettably, if you choose to not come with appropriate attire; i.e. shoes, suit, dress, etc., you will not be permitted to attend the Prom. We ask that you do not put the Prom volunteers in the difficult place of turning you away.
• It is the responsiblity of the attendees to maintain dress code throughout the evening (this includes adjustments made by the prom seamstresses).
