Formal Prom Attire, with polished Semi-Formal Attire accepted. Black tie is optional.

We encourage students to dress up and make the evening special while still feeling comfortable and confident in what they wear.

Deep jewel tones, black, antique gold, velvet, satin, lace, brocade, and dramatic details fit The Midnight Carnival of Masques beautifully, but dressing to the theme is completely optional.

Masks are encouraged, not required. Carnival-inspired details are welcome, but remember: formal masquerade, not circus costume.

Traditional prom gowns and floor-length evening gowns are wonderful choices, but they are not required.

Choose something that makes you feel comfortable, confident, and like yourself while providing appropriate coverage throughout the evening.

Dress slits should remain below the hip bone. Fully sheer bodices require appropriate lining underneath. Sheer details, lace, mesh, and illusion elements are welcome as long as appropriate coverage is maintained.

Suits, dress slacks, dress shirts, ties or bow ties, sport coats, velvet jackets, waistcoats, and polished formal or semi-formal attire are all appropriate.

Tuxedos are welcome, but not required.

Pants should be worn properly, undergarments should not be visible, and casual T-shirts, tank tops, and muscle shirts do not meet the dress code.

Absolutely. Formal Texas attire is welcome.

Dress shirts, formal jackets, polished western boots, western hats, and similar dress attire are appropriate.

If wearing jeans, please choose dark or black denim that is clean, starched, and sharply creased, keeping the western style while maintaining the formal atmosphere of prom.

Not at all. Thrift, borrow, swap, alter, shop resale, or work with something you already own. We want the dress code to make the evening feel special, not make attending financially out of reach.

If you need help finding something, email stx.homeschoolprom@gmail.com. We may be able to connect you with resources or families with formalwear to lend, donate, swap, or sell.

Voting happens at prom, not online, and only attending students may vote.

Full details will be available on our Prom Court page.
