Questions
What do people wear to Dragon Dreaming?
Costume and colour. It is a transformational festival, so dressing up is part of the event rather than something to feel self-conscious about.
What should I avoid?
Anything you cannot move or sit on the ground in. Costumes work best when they are built around comfortable basics.
When should I buy?
Five to six weeks out, so there is time to alter or replace anything.
