Hi
Andi explained it great.
Convention attire information will come in a packet SOON. I know everyone is really interested and since it's less than a month away I know we are getting ancy too. It's coming! I promise.
For the formal night...you want to SHINE! Get the prettiest, loveliest, float on air formal you can find. Have fun! You are not dressing for a date, so get GIRLY (PULEEZ not sexy) on us. Think demure. It's so much fun to deck out in the jewelry, have your sisters do your hair, and wear your badge on a formal gown.
I know what you mean about $$. Beg and borrow from those around you, and check out those summer sales that are going on now. Also since Prom season just ended got to consigment shops for great dresses that have been worn once!
I can't tell you exactly what to wear, but here are some hints on things to put on your "to pack list"
An IRON or STEAMER. Be safe. Your stuff may arrive in a hot wrinkled mess. Use Friday to get your outfits in order.
business attire (I have 3 dresses, and two pant/shirt combos). Hose is not required at this Covention, but is suggested (but I am NOT wearing it! LOL!).
Your whites (I am still looking for non-open toed 8.5 all white shoes anyone!)
Capri pants (even the longish ones) are being frowned on I think, except for one or two casual events. Just don't plan on them for business attire.
Maybe a sundress or two.
One very nice, but not formal dress (maybe nice "little black dress" or sleevless sheath.)
Region T-shirt and nice shorts (long, no rear ends hanging out!)
One Formal Gown (hey, the last one I went to we had to have TWO gowns. ug)
Jammies (no au-natural ladies). Bring some fun DZ shirts and shorts to sleep in. DON'T bring any shirts that you wouldn't want a National Officer to see you in (leave the frat party shirts at home).
After hours "hang-out out and chat clothes" (casual, DZ letters, etc)
Travel Attire: Yup, they want us to arrive our DZ Best. Meaning, put on some wrinkle free slacks, a nice shirt, and decent shoes for airline travel. If you are going by car, at least change before you check in to receive your materials.
And CRIPES!! Don't forget your badge, practice your handshake and password and be your DZ best
(and don't ask us what the password and handshake is on this list!! if you don't remember it, ask someone you can physically practice it with please)
Ok
Covention 101 over with. Any questions? LOL
