Clothing Labels
I'm discussing Meredith's upcoming White Iris Ball with Crystal, and we're running into some difficulty. Apparently, the language describing dress at dances is unclear to some of you, so I'll help you out.
There are three types of dress codes for dances
1) Casual- the name implies what you would normally wear, but this is misleading, because the people who make these labels shop exclusively at J Crew. This label means somewhat-nice clothing, like polo shirts and snappy sweaters. Basically, if you were it to church (and it doesn't include a tie), you're good to go.
2) Semi-formal- a step up from casual. For you old-schoolers who wear shirt-and-tie to church, this means church clothes. For the rest of us this means the rarely used clothing-the kind you buy for one occasion and never wear for year so that it no longer fits. In other words, shirt and tie.
3) Formal- the dreaded tuxedo level. Now I'm a big fan of tux style, but not so much on the money required to rent or (Lord forbid) own one. We're talking prom/weddings here.
I hope this will aid you all in your communication issues.

Amen!You've got it! See, it isn't that hard! This one is semi-formal-borderline-casual by your record, but you look great no matter what you wear! Sorry babe, gotta embarass you a little bit! Congratulations on getting your state ring on Friday...wish I could be there. Can't wait to see you soon!
