My Master &  I are going to our first play party, that being said what is typically worn to a play party if you are a guest? He has granted me permission to pick the outfit I wish to wear as long as it is alluring. I am thinking a corset and a skirt of course Master's collar. Again, this is our first and I we are going as the guests of invited guests and as a result we only know a few people who be in attendance.

Thanks for the insight :) kat

It depends entirely on the party. One set of parties I go to it's completely normally for the guests to remove most, if not all, clothing once they get in the door. At another play party most people are wearing normal street clothes, mixed in with a few corsets.

If this is being hosted at someone's house, remember that their neighbors will see you coming in and wear a long coat on top if your outfit is fetishy and decide which side you would prefer to err on: Overdressed or underdressed? I generally go in a nice top that I could wear to the mall and a sexy but not slutty skirt if in doubt. Not over the top, nothing I couldn't wear out, but something that will still turn heads.

Have you considered asking those who invited you the accepted attire?  Otherwise I'm with Aqua

If you're going with invited guests, i'd suggest checking with them, if you haven't already.  They'd be the best ones to tell you whats acceptable at this particular party.  Having been to some play parties myself .. with a few different hosts .. the type of dress you've mentioned is certainly the norm at them.  Generally i find that some people come dressed in casual attire and 'dress' or undress once they get there. I'd generally strip to a bra, garter belt and stockings since that is what my Dom, at the time, preferred.  One guy used to bring a cat costume, put it on and crawl around .. managing to find himself in a female lap or two purring away.  ;-)

Sample Party Rules

This page includes an old version of the SAS/M Party Rules offered as one example of rather standard rules. (The rules have since been revised.   For the most accurate and current version ot their rules, visit the SAS/M site.) The Community Service section has more information on Play Parties and the Manners and Traditions section includes more on etiquette.

  1. Do not make assumptions. Negotiate all scenes. Do not assume that the presence of someone at this party means they are available. Do not involve yourself in a scene without an invitation.

  2. Never touch anyone, their equipment, or belongings without permission.

  3. Privacy and discretion are to be respected. All information about party activities, attendees, etc. is to be considered confidential. Do not bring cameras or other recording devices.

  4. Treat everyone with equal respect -- Doms, Subs, Switches, and Staff alike.

  5. Play sober. Do not bring alcohol or recreational drugs to the party.

  6. Smoking will be at the discretion of the Board of Perverts. Smoking will be allowed in established smoking areas only.

  7. Please be prepared with something to cover your more daring clothing -- or lack thereof -- when you go outside the party space.

  8. No genital or anal penetration, oral sex or exchange of bodily fluids.

  9. Solicitation for sexual services is not allowed.

  10. Please agree on safe words for scenes. "Red" will be a default safe word.

  11. Respect scenes. Limit conversation and screaming in the play area. Don't crowd the playing areas.

  12. Respect the playspace. Clean up after messy scenes. Use a drop cloth when waxing. No scat or water sports.

  13. Limit play to the playspace. Do not engage in play outside the Dungeon Monitor's line of vision.

  14. Don't bring guns.

  15. Dungeon Monitors have the final word on everything including the right to stop an unsafe or abusive scene. Check with the DM before any fireplay (waxing, cupping, flash paper, etc.), piercing, or bloodsports.

This is a post copyed from ambrorio´s web page at http://www.evilmonk.org/A/manners.cfm where a lot more info is available

I find this rules pretty clear and accurate

Act like you would at any party- as long as you act like a gracious and happy guest at any party.

Be a bit more sensitive about touching others and don't touch other peoples things without express permission (asking to touch is fine).  Don't talk to people IN scenes and don't get too close physically or talk too loud near them.

Otherwise, it's just like any party.

What to wear?  If you want to look like everyone else- something black, sexy, kinky, gothic type is great.  But asking the host is fine and anything from shorts and tshirt to ballgowns to full nudity CAN be fine at parties.
