^^^ I wouldn't worry as much about the awards dinner. Some sisters may wear their business attire from meetings that day...I wouldn't worry about the cotton material. If you're possibly going on stage to pick up a chapter award, it may be worth fussing over a bit more...otherwise, just nice business attire or a dress should be just fine. There isn't a lot of time to change in between events (although this year's schedule looks like it has some decent breaks). Sisters get creative with adding a colorful sweater or scarf to their white dresses for the am business meeting, and taking that off for ritual on Saturday afternoon.

I attended Convention as a collegian, and then there was a long gap before the first time I went as an alumna. I worried about my attire quite a bit the first time I went back, a little bit the second time, and now I don't really think about it too much. Trust me, you will see all shapes and sizes, and as long as you're appropriate for that day's attire, I wouldn't worry about it too much. The dress code sounds strict, but I think it's mostly to help the young collegians know what to wear so they're interpreting the dress code correctly.
