This discount offer applies to the Halloween 2011 event. This page will be updated when and if the dress code and discount policy changes.
    There is also a $2 surcharge for attendess under 21 years of age.

    This dress code is highly encouraged for all patrons, regardless of arrival time or potential discount. It adds to the event for everyone involved. And believe us, you'll have a better time if you're dressed for the event!

    To receive the discounted admission you must be well-dressed for our Gothic/Industrial and Fetish event.  Break out your fetish attire! You should dress not only sexily, but also in a kinky or interesting way. Very Gothic club wear (think Uber-Goth or Victorian Goth) will meet the criteria as well, as we also cater heavily to that scene. 

    IT'S (Y)OUR PARTY: We reserve the right to use our discretion with regard to the dress code and any related discounts. It doesn't matter if ten of your friends think you should get in at half price - it's our decision that counts. Complaining will not help you get the discounted admission.

    Why are we doing this? Because this is Raleigh's premiere Gothic/Industrial and Fetish event. Being dressed properly is part of what makes our event the special experience it is for all attendees. The clothing is part of the mindset. We do this for you, our patrons. Help make the evening fun and interesting for everyone by dressing up for the event!

    Anything amounting to or involving streetwear, athletic wear, or normal club wear will be denied the discount. Black jeans and a t-shirt will not pass for Goth club wear.

The basic acceptable fetish materials are:

     RUBBER/LATEX

     PVC/VINYL

     LEATHER

     METAL

     HARNESSES

     CORSETS

You can't go wrong with these. They should make up more than half of your clothing for your outfit to pass as fetish wear.

Other options:

     FETISH GLAM

     CYBER EROTICA

     KINKY DRAG (both male and female)

     VERY GOTHIC

HIGH FORMAL / Black Tie is acceptable.

CORSETS rock.

UNIFORMS - uniforms are good! But there are stipulations. No fatigues. No common modern military uniforms that you might find wandering around Fort Bragg. If you want to go the military uniform route, make it interesting!

Thinking about wearing a SCHOOL GIRL outfit?  This is a common outfit that can be... common... if not done right. Accessorize. Or make it Uber-Gothy in some way. You can do it - yes, you can!

BODY ART - being mostly naked except for body decorations is a great option. Show off your piercings, tattoos and body painting!  You still have to cover the pink bits, so wear something on your bottom half.

BDSM attire is encouraged. Dominatrixes, Heavy Doms, Slaves, etc. meet that definition.

Certain types of THEATHER attire is acceptable. Do you have a real burlesque, belly-dance, or exotic dancer outfit? Bring it on! As long as it's sexy and interesting, you're good to go.

COSTUMERY - certain costumes would meet the fetish/gothic dress code. Just be sure your attire will in some way add to the event.  If you are in doubt, contact us in advance at info@Dirge-Factory.com

    One rule to remember - NO FULL NUDITY. It’s the law. Nipples must be covered. A thong at minimum must be worn below to cover your pink bits. You will be denied entry if you fail to comply with this state law.

    If you have any questions, please email us at info@dirge-factory.com.

    And remember, we're doing this to improve the event for you and everyone else in attendance. It also gives you a chance to get in for half price if you are financially challenged during our current economic downturn.

Thank you for your cooperation. Now let's have some fun!
