Regalia? What's that?
Hang around this message board and you'll see that topic come up again. Some people call it regalia, because they don't want to offend others by calling the outfit a costume. Others don't see any offense in the word costume. As someone else stated recently, the word costume technically refers to any complete ensemble of clothing - whether it is a Doctor's uniform, a fashion model's outfi, or a tuxedo, or jeans & a t-shirt. But, others have pointed out that the word regalia is French for 'costume' - go figure. Most people call their dance clothes, simply 'my dance clothes' or 'my dance outfit'.
Either way works.
Good luck & health with the hip!
