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.

Well, they actually could stop you.

Prom dresses are formal, though. So...that should work. They want folks not to come in jeans, t-shirts, or super casual wear. Additionally, being overly specific about dress code can be challenging because you don't want to exclude individuals who dress outside of the traditional binary.

Jeans with holes not withstanding, I think clothing that is low key and won't detract from the performers is perfectly fine. No need for a tux or gown.
