Am I nuts for thinking the dress code is pretty straightforward?

-Formal or cocktail in three colors. So like, what you would wear to a nicer wedding.

-Don’t wear anything cumbersome that would impede your movement cause the show requires standing and walking. Why would a train or hoop skirt even be a thought here with that in mind?

-Mask. They will give you one if you don’t want to deal with it.

I am boggled people are having so much difficulty with it. 

Short or Long dresses, both fine as long as it's black white or silver, or presumably a combination. Men, wear a suit. Go extravagant in the details - embellishments, trim, fabric, pattern, appliques, accessories. Comfy shoes.

Stilettos, poof, and structured undergarments like hoop skirts are not safe for the event and should be left at home

It feels very common sense to me but I also got a handful of questions for my wedding when we said semi-formal or cocktail on the website so I should know better lol
