I found a khaki mini-dress with a zipper down the front at a kid's clothing store - and then just happened to find my old pathfinder and girl guide patches to add to it for flare - and put some extra slits and holes for ventilation into the mix. Though I must say I was thrilled when I stumbled across my girl guide hat complete with pins and my pathfinder neck-scarf - I thought my mother had them in storage for me. The scarf makes a great dust mask if needed! Uh, so I'm becoming less motivational in your direction, but, uh, just do something!

So no uniform since it was at mom's and it would be a logistical nightmare to attempt to explain to my mother (and possibly traumatic)what boxes to go into to find the various parts of my costume. ugh. working on other costumes and am getting busy. I can't see myself coming up with a girl guides one now. But I will be at the goddess gathering for sure! *steph* Sun, 25 Jul 2004 18:30:00 GMT http://GSGB.tribe.net/thread/168966ba-4111-4c9e-bd44-e52620f9d88d#7121a2da-4124-478b-a98f-6248008828d2 *serious* 2004-07-25T18:30:00Z
