Tuxedo Dress Codes.

The dress codes counted as formal dress are:

• Full evening dress, or white tie
• Semi-formal evening dress, or black tie
• Formal day dress, or morning dress
• Semi-formal day dress, or the stroller

The clothes dictated by these dress codes for women include backless dresses, cocktail dresses, evening gowns, and ball gowns. For many uniforms, the official clothing is unisex. Examples of this are law court dress, academic and graduate dress, formal military uniforms and formal military evening dress.
