Your plight reminds me a bit of my Forensics career back in high school. I did Dramatic Reading and the rules explicitly stated NO COSTUMES...yeah...right.

Bear in mind that this was in the late 1960's...

One notorious scofflaw was a girl who did a reading from the play "Victoria Regina" and managed to show up in a whole lot of lace and a black velour dress. I, myself, was doing a reading from Orwells's "1984" and basically ended up wearing a brown suit, brown shirt and a black necktie...I looked like I belonged at a fascist rally...costume? Not me.....

Having had jury duty here in Chicago, I can assure you that the judges don't hesitate to tell anybody in the court room what they think of them. Enjoy the kilted victory while you can.

...and when all else fails, remember the immortal words of Hunter S. Thompson's attorney, Dr, Gonzo:

"...as your attorney, I advise you to drink heavily."

Best
