Is dressing 1940s mandatory?

There is a dress code for this event in keeping with the theme, the historic sets, WWII planes, and automobiles.  We strongly advise 1940‘s themed evening attire, party dresses and/or uniforms.  For inspiration and recommendations please visit our Dressing 1940s section. Actual vintage dress is best, however, if you cannot find period attire to wear, women can wear a modern dress that is cut like those from the era with vintage accents such as vintage jewelry, gloves, and/or a flower in their hair and men can wear a modern suit that looks similar to those of the era with accents like a fedora, suspenders or a bow tie.

  ***Please wear or bring comfortable shoes.  The event is at an active airport and the ground is uneven in some areas and has grass and gravel, we highly recommend comfortable shoes. ****If you wear heels, we highly recommend bringing a comfortable pair of shoes to change into.
