MisCon Dress Code
- Costume Rules
- If your costume includes makeup or hair dye, please be considerate of the convention venue and do not cause unnecessary cleanup in hotel rooms and bathrooms. Clean up after yourself.
- Coverage requirements are gender neutral. Clothing that exposes private body areas including nipples, groin, and buttocks is not allowed. Clothing must cover 60% of the breast area, including 100% nipple coverage. Coverage may not be sheer or transparent, painted on, or overly form-fitting to the point where it reveals the details of genitalia. This applies to everyone with no exceptions.
- Footwear is required for safety and health
- Anyone not meeting these expectations will be required to change their clothes prior to returning to the convention.
- Weapons
- You can use an airsoft gun, a real sword, or other real weapon as a costume prop. Airsoft guns must be empty of ammunition.
- You CANNOT use a real firing firearm as a costume prop.
- No exposed weapons (all weapons must be sheathed and peace-bonded).
- Do not swing or wave around any weapon or prop weapon (or anything else).
- Do not hit anyone with your weapon or prop weapon (or anything else).
- If your costume includes a real OR prop weapon, report to MisCon Staff at various locations, including the Registration Table, Info Table, or any Security member around the convention.
- MisCon Security will peace bond your weapon/prop weapon by banding it with a zip tie. This zip tie will not prevent you from violating our weapon policy, but it indicates to MisCon Staff that Security has gone over the weapon policy with you.
If you feel someone is in violation of one of these rules please alert security or a MisCon staff member. Please do not handle Code of Conduct violations on your own.
