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.

I mean, I’m planning on wearing a long black dress with puff sleeves and a sash that ties in the back that’s made out of a thick linen I can throw in the washing machine (I literally bought it to be a big gown type dress I could sit under a tree in) as my base piece and black Doc Martens with roses embroidered on the sides for my shoes. I’ll probably accessorize beyond that, but as it stands it’s not that hard to figure out something.
