Let's not get into a dress code free-for-all here again...

The Callerlab recommendation is for Callers only, not for dancers. 
USDA has a recommendation for dancers.  Yes, they are similar and 
they are recommendations, not fixed in stone.

No one is forcing anyone to buy/wear clothes of the 1950's.

BTW, I've recently been in contact with a women in my age group 
(early 50's) who doesn't square dance (yet). Her first reaction after 
I showed her the pictures I've taken of Square Dancing was "Do I have 
to know to square dance before I can wear those frilly outfits? I 
love frilly clothes!"
