Black and white ball dress?

[Gemini]

I know about the dress code things like the length and such but I was hoping to go to b&w ball this year in cosplay.

I feel like this is a dumb question but does my outfit actually have to be black ad white? I know you can wear formal cosplay, like last year my friend was Roy Mustang and wore the military outfit (which is blue) and I wanted to wear a dress that is black and red, but it'll probably be more red than black. I was wondering if that would be a problem? My character's outfit isn't actually a dress but the colors she wears are black and red.

Thanks for the help. Lol

In the past it has been stated that the attire did not have to be Black and White and that it refereed to the formality rather than a certain color scheme required.

And now for the official response.

As long as you follow the dress code requirements, which have just been posted in another thread here http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,18047.0.html it does not have to be black and white.

Black and white is just the name of the dance to give it that special feel.
