We saw all kinds of attire at NSDC this year.  Actually, we contacted one of 
the leaders by email before we went so that  my wife could find out if she had 
to wear the traditional attire or not.   She was pleased when she heard that 
all kinds of attire were being accepted this  year:  regular attire with 
petticoats, long dresses, prairie skirts,  8-gore skirts, etc.  It made it a lot 
easier to pack clothes.
