Everyone should wear plain brown leather sandals.
Prepare for the cold weather - you need tan-colored underclothing for the costume. Tea-stained long johns to cover arms and legs, tea-stained gloves to keep hands warm, tea-stained socks to wear with your leather sandals, etc.
No clothing should be showing from the edges of your costumes - no shirt collars, sleeve cuffs, pants legs, etc.
No nail polishes or bright colored lipsticks.
AU-THEN-TI-CI-TY - plan for it NOW
All fabrics should be rustic and earth-toned. No stripes, plaids or patterns. Remember - BROWN.
If you use RIT dye to dye your fabric, please be sure to use TAN. DO NOT use brown. (It wil likely turn out purple!)
