I'm putting together an invitation to the premiere of a play, and since many of the guests are English, it needs to be in English. This is the text, where I've just used "dress" as a place holder:

We are very proud to invite you to the premiere of our play [name of play]!

Date: [specification of date]

Time: [specification of time]

[Dress]: [specification of dress code]

We are looking forward to seeing you there!

I have tried googling different kinds of invitations to find an answer to my question, but I'm either very bad at finding things, or just unlucky, because I haven't found a single invitation that contains the information I'm after! So, I'm hoping you can help me out.

You can use either dress

dress
used to refer to the type of suits, shirts, shoes, and other clothes that are worn at formal occasions:
a white dress shirt and bow tie

or (from Cambridge Dictionary)

dress code

an accepted way of dressing for a particular occasion or in a particular social group:
Most evenings there's a party and the dress code is strict - black tie only.

You can also use attire.

One might see

Dress code: smart casual
Dress: black tie
Beach attire

etc. A good source of invitation wording can be found on Google images.

    Thank you so much for this! I am so stupid – I did search google images, but I only searched for different kinds of invitation; I never thought to include "dress", "dress code" or anything like that in my search! I guess it's true what they say – that you learn something new every day...
