A typical woman's outfit would be over and under skirts
of different colors, a full, lowing shirt, a bodice and inside skim. Do
not substitute a chemise for a second skin or apron. Chemises should be
long sleeved and full bodied. Drawstring, high collared, drop collared
and no collar shims are all acceptable. Skirts must be full and below
the ankle. Trick: Wear two skirts the same length and tuck one up into
the waist. If you're on a budget wear a loose fitting gauzy dress in
natural color, an embroidered or lacy vest, leather scandals and a
floral garland in your hair. Other footwear: Birkenstocks, Mayjanes, or
Kung Fu slippers.
Choose colors that are earth tones such as shades of :
browns, gold's, rusts. Avoid bright reds, fluorescent and other bright
colors or pastel shades. These are modern colors. Fabrics should be
rough natural such as wool, woven cotton, raw silk, flax, leather and
linen. Wearing different textures together creates a good look. DO NOT
use prints, velour, sheers, gingham, seersucker, or 100% polyester.
