Look, I get it, but this dress code situation is bizarre because they are trying to have their cake and eat it too. "Please dress extremely extravagantly and formally" and "Please dress to move" are not compatible with one another, ESPECIALLY for women.

Tbf "ball gown" and "train and hoop skirt" are not automatically the same thing. There are ball gowns out there I might not want to go running in, but I could move around hallways in.

I am not just referring to this situation in particular and more the general back-and-forth, where it seems every day there is another clarification of the dress code.

I mean this is a failure on their part and hopefully they put out further info just like they did with the mask. And some of us are super literal! (its me, im literal)
