Disney Look: Female Non-Costumed

Business Attire

• To maintain the Disney image of excellence, clothing should be classic in style, clean, neatly pressed, and fit properly. Clothing should not appear too tight, short in length, faded, or in need of repair.  
• Professional options for women include dress pants with a classic style blouse or sweater, skirted or pants suit, dress with or without a jacket, and business-style walking shorts with a blouse and jacket or vest.
• Sleeveless tops and dresses are permitted, provided the sleeve width is no fewer than three inches (approximately 7.6 cm). 
• Traditional and professional style mid-calf Capri pants are permitted. 
• Cotton twill full-length pants (i.e., Dockers®, khakis) are permitted only if they are neatly pressed, creased, and appear to be professionally laundered.
• Winter jackets and coats should present a professional appearance and should be made of fabrics traditionally acceptable in business. For example, wool, leather and micro fiber offer good choices. Denim, nylon, satin and other casual fabrics would not meet these professional guidelines.

Clothing Lengths

Dress and skirt lengths may range from three inches (7.6 cm) above the top of the kneecap bone to the bottom of the ankle. The length of shorts should be from the top of the kneecap bone to three inches (7.6 cm) above the top of the kneecap bone. Slits in skirts, kick pleats and buttoned or snapped closures should not exceed five inches (12.7 cm) above the middle of the knee. Pants should be long enough to touch the bottom of the ankle.

Fabrics and Patterns

Fabrics should be those traditionally acceptable for business, such as tweed, wool, cotton, polyester, silk, linen, rayon or blends of these fibers. 

Footwear

Dress shoes or boots in good business taste are required. Classic dress shoes are permitted to have an open toe, open heel and/or sling back. 

Hosiery is optional for female non-costumed cast members. If hosiery is worn, it should be sheer or opaque hosiery in subdued shades.

Undergarments

Cast members are required to wear appropriate undergarments at all times. Patterned or coloured undergarments that are visible when worn under light-coloured costumes or business attire are not permitted. Undergarments should not be visible at any time.

Jewellery

• Rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, lapel pins, and a business-style wristwatch are permitted. A pin, brooch, or scarf clip in good business taste is also acceptable.
• Two necklaces and two bracelets in good business taste that blend with the outfit and each other are permitted.
• Ankle bracelets are not permitted.
• One earring in each ear is permitted. It must be a simple, matched set. Earrings may be clip-on, pierced, hoop or dangle and must be worn on the bottom of the earlobe. Earrings may extend up to two inches (approximately 5 cm) from the bottom of the earlobe and should be professional in style.
• Only one ring on each hand is permitted, with the exception of a wedding set. A ring may be worn on any finger.

Hairstyling

• Hair should be neatly combed and arranged in a classic, easy-to-maintain style. Extreme styles are not permitted.
• Hair below shoulder length should be confined if it falls forward over the face while working.
• Conservative braided hairstyles without beads or ornamentation are permitted.
• Hair products may be used to create a soft, natural hairstyle within these guidelines.
• Shaving of the head or any portion of the head or eyebrows is not permitted.
• Artificial hair is permitted if it looks natural and meets all of the above requirements.

Hair Colouring

The Disney Look does not permit extremes in dyeing, bleaching or coloring. If the hair color is changed, it must be natural-looking and well maintained. Subtle highlighting or frosting is permitted as long as it creates a uniform look over the whole head and meets all of the previously listed guidelines.

Hair Accessories

Hair accessories should be a classic style and should coordinate with the outfit.

Makeup

If makeup is worn, it should be applied in a blended manner and in appropriate, neutral colors.

Fingernails

Fingernails should be kept clean. If polish is used, it should be complementary to your skin tone. This includes deeper, richer shades of polish. Polishes that are not permitted include neon, black, gold, silver or multi-colored. Charms or decals on fingernails are not permitted. Fingernails should not exceed one-fourth of an inch (approximately 6 mm) beyond the fingertip.

What Not to Wear

• Clothing not permitted includes polo or golf-style shirts, cargo-style pants, t-shirts, sundresses, leggings, casual shorts, wrap-around shorts, one-piece rompers and garments made of denim fabrics.
• Tank tops, spaghetti straps, halter necks and other casual styles are not acceptable.
• Cotton twill, cargo, leggings or other casual styles of Capri pants do not present a professional image and are therefore not permitted.
• Athletic shoes, sandals, and Western boots are not permitted.
• Unacceptable fabrics include spandex, gauze, metallic fabrics, sheer fabrics, clinging knits, denim and chambray. 
• Patterns that are large graphics, large company and non-company logos, and styles that suggest extremely casual sportswear are not permitted.
