I am all for creating the right environment but you should not loose sight of the reason we are going.
Obviously we all want a good time but we judge that mainly by the dance experience we get. The fancy dress bit etc just compliments that.
From my point of view where the fancy dress code aids the dance experience people willingly get into the swing of things. I think that is where themes that allow you to dress to make you more cool (temperature wise) such as "Midnight at the Oasis", Beach Party themes and others where you an wear less cloths people appreciate that. Or if you want to go the other way Black Tie I think people appreciate that.
Its where the theme does not help the dancing that I find a bit of a wasted effort.
