Does anyone know how well the "costume nazi's" succeed at
the various vintage dance events (Victorian, Gaskells, Deco, etc.)?
How do the rules at these events work? Many dancers seem to
like to attend these events in spites of the dress code.
At those events the costuming is an integral part of the flavor
of the event, and it is well-publicized as such. From the Gaskell
web site:
===
Costuming
The standard of dress is semi-formal, with gentlemen requiring a
minimum of jacket and tie and ladies appropriately dressed. Many
of our attendees dress in period formal dress of the 19th or 20th
(or 21st) century. The Society does reserve the right to deny
entrance to anyone not appropriately dressed for the occasion
(although this is seldom exercised).
The October dance is a Fancy Dress Ball. This is a costume ball as
the Victorians would do it. A historical example would be when
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert attended one dressed as a simple
shepherd and shepherdess (she with a hoop skirt under her dress
and he with a tail coat over his lederhosen). At a Fancy Dress
Ball, standard semi-formal dress is still accepted, costumes are
not required, but standards of dress still apply.

This definitely fits in the category of notifying before anyone
buys a ticket, rather than saying "oh, by the way..." after the
fact.
