Guests are asked to take a lateral flow test before attending The Dressmakers Ball to ensure that everyone is safe and no one is inadvertently passing on the virus.

Guests do not have to show proof of vaccination status to attend the ball, however we do support vaccinations and encourage everyone who is able to have theirs to do so.

Guests are welcome to make and wear a facemask at the ball.  It provides a fun opportunity to accessorise your outfit with a matching mask.
