Dress Guide — Sommernachtsball 
 

A dress-up occasion that celebrates imagination and intention.  
Think midsummer magic: twilight gardens, soft florals, tulle, shimmer, and subtle fairy-inspired details—elegant, not costume.  
Vintage summer elegance is key: linen suits, waistcoats, and refined accessories for men; light dresses, lace, corsetry, and garden-party charm for women. A touch of burlesque and playful seduction is welcome.  
Style at least three intentional elements, keep grooming polished, and choose light, elegant accessories.  

Dress to enchant. Dress with intention. Dress like the moon has been told to take notice.
