Advice about clothing for formal recruitment
Hi folks,
I know a lot of you have read my recruitment story, but I will be participating in formal recruitment for the second time this upcoming Fall. I didn't exactly worry about what I wore the first time around, but it was a little different from most of the other girls participating at the time since I have a physical disability, and wear orthotics on my legs. The orthotics are there to help me walk, and I also have to wear knee-length socks. I'm a little self-conscious of my orthotics since they are black, and unless I'm wearing black socks or a black outfit, I feel it's going to look a little mismatched. I'm also not able to wear heels, so if I do make it to Preference Night, heels are out the window. What I do have, are some black flats that I could wear to all the nights of recruitment since the only other pair of shoes that I could actually wear with my orthotics are sneakers. I did this for the last two nights of recruitment before I was released. I also did not wear a sundress, but rather a pantsuit. I had a nice top, and a nice pair of black or gray slacks.
What I would rather do this time around is wear a dress to some of the parties. I have a sundress that I bought four years ago on a cruise, but I don't think it even fits me anymore. Should I go with a long dress even if its too formal or should I get a short dress, and see how I could camouflage my orthotics? I've actually worn a short white dress, and put pantyhose over my orthotics, but that was for my high school graduation, and no one really noticed it since I had my gown over the dress. I'm not extremely familiar with semi-formal dresses since I almost always wear a pantsuit for a semi-formal event or a long dress when I go to a formal event. Any advice would be appreciated.
