BE A GUEST RIDER ON A MARDI GRAS FLOAT!

 Wear a floor-length gown - the length should skim the floor.

Wear the appropriate evening shoes. These are not the shoes you wear  every day or to the office. Generally these types of shoes are made of  cloth (mainly satin) and are sometimes embellished with rhinestones,  pearls or crystals. (And make sure they are comfortable!)

Bring a wrap or bolero jacket, as some venues can be cold.

DO NOT wear a dress or long skirt with a "mullet" hem (high-low hems). 

DO NOT wear a dress with a sheer skirt with a shorter skirt underneath.  Basically, no sheer if your body shows underneath.

DO NOT wear a dress with cut-outs in the bodice (showing your stomach); crop top and skirt, especially if your stomach shows.  

Costume de Rigueur must be worn. Exception - Active Duty military may wear dress uniforms.

 Black tails & black pants, white bow tie & white vest, & black dress shoes.
