COSTUMES
Though costumes are not required, at this event many folks will dress whimsically in honor of the Alice theme. Historically inspired costumes add an extra flair!

We subscribe to the popular phrase:
Costumes admired
but never required.

Important Costume Note:
Please be certain you can move easily in your costume and do not wear anything that would impede you or others while dancing. Please avoid high heels, trains, wings, or anything else that drags or sticks out, as they impede dancing for all. High heels are not recommended for this style of dance.
