Convention Outfit

There will be great range of colors and fabrics used for the convention outfit. The basic rules of the game are:

• Pick a fabric with multiple animals or an animal that represents you.
• Use a solid colored outfit and have an animal or animals screen-printed or embroidered on the skirt panels or yoke of shirt or vest.
• Consider using some sort of a green as a coordinating color. For example forest green, jungle green, or grass green.

A fabric that several folks have chosen to use in their convention outfit is named A Rare Occasion by David Textiles. It has been found in stock in several Walmart stores for about $5.00 a yard and is also available from Walmart online for $6.00 to $7.00 a yard. Search for "david textiles a rare occasion".
