Hi, Joy,
We are really talking about pants for men and pants or leggings (no feet) for women, although we'll probably end up saying bring things in more than one of the three colors (black, white, khaki) if you wish, (including skirts and tights) and we'll see what works/looks the best. I'll find Kathy's email showing her modeling fabric pieces, and send it out to all.
Cheers,
Mary

I go with Jayne! A kind of easy going neutral color scheme that we don't have to fuss over. And we can gussy it up with whatever we can find. And layer it (although we will die of the heat) so that we can go from villain (all black) to virgin (all white) to who knows what (shades of beige!)
That sounds like fun to me!
Love, Terry

Black/white/khaki sounds good to me as a backdrop for adornments.
But instead of tights or leggings and a top in one color, my vote would be for ANY combination of the three colors and INCLUDE skirts and pants and t-shirts, etc. For instance, a black skirt paired with a white top; khaki pants and black
t-shirt; a white dress; black pants and black top; whatever. Seems like most of
us could pull our costumes together from basics in our own closets and then find
the adornments when we get there. That would make it easy.
Mary is right, there was no formal discussion of costumes. The idea for the fabric swatches came from an informal side discussion Kathy and I had. I think Kathy might have talked with a few of the committee members about it? I'm bringing the fabric whether we use it or not. But I think some of it will be great - easy capes, tablecloths, headscarves, etc. And NO SEWING!
To recap: Any combination of white, black, khaki. Pants, skirts, t-shirts, other
tops, dresses, etc. That's my vote. But I'll go along with the crowd!

Just want to say to all, true khaki shows sweat. White, black, less so.
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. There: balance.
