Black formal tuxedo.  we have some jackets and coats to loan.  Students are responsible for their own white tuxedo shirt, bow tie, cummerbund and black shoes.

Stage Accents is a company you may use to order a black, full length gown.  Here are links to two dresses.   Some of my students have preferred to cover their shoulders, and that is also an option you will see listed.
