Once Upon a Star is a formal event; however, one need not spend an excessive amount of money to participate. Below are guidelines for young ladies and gentlemen to follow in choosing their wardrobe for the evening.

Ladies

  • A modest, becoming dress is expected. Please use discretion to assure your selection is tasteful and above reproach.
  • Long, formal gowns are encouraged but not required.
  • Short dresses or slits in floor-length gowns must be no higher on your thigh than where your fingertips fall when standing upright.
  • Spaghetti straps and strapless gowns are permitted, however no plunging necklines.
  • No side or front cut-outs in dresses below natural bra line.
  • The gown's back may not be lower than the smallest portion of the natural waist line.
  • No see through gowns are permitted.
  • Appropriate undergarments should be worn under gowns.

Gentlemen

  • A suit and tie or coordinating pants and sportcoat are expected. Tuxedos are optional.
  • Jackets and ties may be removed during the evening, but shirts are to remain buttoned and tucked in.
  • No visible tattoos or body piercing.
  • No jeans, t-shirts, or tennis shoes allowed.

The overall goal is for everyone to have an enjoyable and memorable evening. It is uncomfortable for both the Chaperones and attendees to correct attire outside of the dress code. Please make sure that you are within the above guidelines; it will be upheld. You will have a much more pleasant experience in the clothing you've chosen if a chaperone does not have to make adjustments to your attire for you to remain with us throughout the evening.
