Subject : Parade Details
For costumes we're going steampunk lite.
For the men, this means shorts, kilts, and short sleeved shirts are encouraged because it's a hot one. Please remember, no t-shirts or fishing shirts. You're still in costume, a short sleeve button up shirt won't kill you. Also, try to wear boots and not sneakers or god forbid crocks, slides, or flip-flops.
For the ladies, this means keep it simple, corset and skirt is all you really need. Even shorts will work, maybe throw a bustle behind it for some flair. Don't wear a leather corset, they do not breath and you will overheat.
