It's hardly the end of the world

Besides if you are clever, you can get 2 dresses out of it.

Buy a strappy one first and then say 'Oh dear, new rules, I need a non strappy one (but I'll save this for my holidays anyway

)

Just be aware, some of us are well used to these ploys ladies

Personally I think it's nice there's a dress code and some decorum.
