For our recruitment outfits we usually have one shirt (one year it was two) that everyone must buy. For the rest of the clothing we have guidelines (for example, medium color jeans, black skirt, twinset) and let everyone in the chapter get what works best for them. In THEORY this is a wonderful idea (everything fits and we don't look so cookie cutter), but it is really hard to tell a girl that part of her outfit isn't acceptable during dress checks! One of the things we contemplated doing is selecting a few types of jeans, skirts, or whatever the items are and letting the people in the chapter pick from those... but this gets stickybecause people already have a pair of jeans they want to wear or they think that the shirt/dress/whatever is too expensive. I'm trying to finalize our clothing list right now (we have deferred recruitment) and it has been a huge headache!
