DIABOLIQUE BALL FANTASY DRESS CODE

Diabolique Ball is famous for its strict dress code of Fetish, and Fantasy and Formal attire.A Changing area is available at the door,

The Avenue Live provides coat/clothing check inside the Ball for a fee.

Improperly dressed? If you don’t arrive wearing the appropriate attire, our fabulous and fierce Fantasy Stylists will assist you in in a makeover which can include stripping down to your intimates or helping you dress up in a costume.

 

PROPER TOYLAD ATTIRE
At minimum,
you can attend the Ball this year if you are wearing:

  • a fetish outfit as described above – corsets, kilts, leather, rubber, shiny, sequins, light-up, glow, net, fur, masks, body paint, or kinky tape! Rope haresses, bondage jackets, and locking shoes qualify!
  • all black or monochrome street clothing (ie. all pink, all white, etc).
  • lingerie and underwear are also acceptable.
  • fashion fabulous: Rainbows, glitter, ribbons, sequins, foils, metallics, vintage tuxedos and gowns, maximalist prints and patterns
  • role play– littles, puppies, kittens, ponies and other fantasy roles are encouraged to strut their stuf as are dolls, drones, wind up toys, furries and freaks
  • costumes are perfect including zentai suits, catsuits, and onesies (over underwear not clothes)  can be worked into a kinky toyand look- our stylists will help

Fantasy Stylists are the final authority on what is permitted in the event. It does not matter who you know — you will not get you in if you do not comply with the dress code and are not willing to remove either your pants or shirt.

Those who refuse to dress up or get undressed will be turned away at the door (no refunds, sorry) – we do not want to see that happen!
