    Default What Is A Gown Club ?

    I've seen this term bandied about on SW, so I decided to ask the dancers what exactly it would be. Do those so called clubs actually require all dancers working there to wear a full length gown in the club ? (Obvious exceptions most of stage performance, or performing private dances for customers).

    Or do those so called clubs consider a cocktail dress slightly lower than knee height to be acceptable ? Or any length that would hide ones panties walking around ? I'd be interested to hear the spectrum of definitions out there to arrive at a more or less useable "understanding."

    Just as a frame of reference- I mostly go to unpretentious solidly mid tier (or slightly better clubs), though I have been to some that see themselves as upscale. (Men's Club, etc.) It has been several years since I went to MC, vaguely recall some gowns, maybe some mid length dresses. Thanks.
    I'm right 96% of the time. I don't sweat the other 5% .......................

    Yeah full length gowns. Cocktail dress typically wouldn't fly, they want long elegant dresses.

    Out here the only ones left are the Christie's chain, and they loosened up because it really wasn't jiving anymore with the crowds.

    The now closed one location used to require cocktail/club dresses on stage but whatever on the floor. The still-existing one, you can wear whatever you want on the floor but they make you go put a full-length gown on if you sell a champagne room. Something to do with "He's spending $500, you need to look classy".
    "People jack off with the left hand and point with the right."

    An outdated practice of wearing full length gowns (no less) that many clubs still still employ in an effort to look "classy". The customers hate it as do most of the girls since it limits what you can wear exponentially and if you want to change it up, these gowns are NOT cheap. Oftentimes $100-160 here in NYC.

    The gown practice was more common in high-end clubs back and the day, and long gloves were often accompanied. A lot of these clubs have loosened their grip and allow dancers to wear mini dresses as well as gowns. These gowns usually go down to the ankle and have a high slit to show off the legs, or they have cut outs around the midsection and back. I wear gowns occasionally at my club but I prefer mini dresses. Sometimes gowns feel too "beauty pageant-esque", not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's a strip club at the end of the day.
