In theatres of the Victorian period (around 1850) the dress circle was where the most expensive seats were placed. These normally sat just above the orchestra and had a superb view of the stage. The people that sat here worn "dress clothing", this was normally evening gowns for ladies and gentlemen wore shirt and tails. To be seated here was a status thing. It became the dress circle for that reason. Even today in Broadway and the West end of London the Dress Circle is the most expensive area.
