Someplace toward the end of the month (before the event), I was able to get my own new outfit made. My test garment was the one I wore to the event...darned holes in the material and all. Guess it didn't look brand new that way. ;)
By the way, I had a total blast at RWWII, I was B-U-S-Y all day long. While I was volunteered at the Veteran Area, I really didn't spend much time there, the rest of my day being either mainly at the Vendor Area and at my other volunteer post--the Stars and Stripe Canteen.
