What does 'Dress Code Enforced' mean? The VMB is a formal event and not to be confused for a ‘costume party’. Appropriate attire includes tuxedos, ball gowns, corsets, period wear (Victorian, Edwardian, Renaissance, etc.), neo-Victorian and evening gothic club wear. Suits and cocktail dresses are also appropriate. Being that this is a gothic community-oriented event, expect to see most attendees wearing black/red (other colors are perfectly acceptable too) and all of the DJ's will be spinning music from the Gothic/Industrial/SynthPop genres. masquerade cocktail dresses

NO STREET CLOTHES ALLOWED (blue jeans, t-shirts, tank tops, etc.).

Are masks required? No, but they are encouraged.
