    We're a mixed bag! Some are in jeans and t shirts and some are dressed like they're looking for a hot date. I'm a jeans girl, but usually wear a nice shirt. I save t shirts for around the house. I think it just depends on what you're comfortable with.

    If you are feeling out of place - buy a pair of nice dockers and wear them with some slip on shoes and a nice blouse or sweater. But I feel I am going in jeans because I am a jean person when I am off work, I don't dress to impress them as I am going to learn something. Don't get me wrong I am still in my tennis shoes and a nice blouse maybe a necklace. But I am going to learn something ( I learned this from the first one I ever went to a guild meeting , a woman came up to to me and suggested next time I should wear dress pants instead of jeans and a plain blouse. I asked her if it was in the by-laws that I be required to dress up- She turned on her pump heels fancy top with oodles of jewelry;walked away and went to her clique. No holes in the jeans and the top was a nice dress shirt also with no holes in it).

    I like to look nice, but that's jeans and a nice t-shirt. We have some ladies who have no money at all, and we don't care what clothes they wear, then we have the ladies who come from work all dressed up, I don't think what you wear should make a difference. And as Hillcountrygal said, "as long as you don't go naked"!!!!

    Our guild members dress casually---mostly jeans and tennies. I don't think it makes any difference as long as you are dressed neatly.

    Most of us at mine dress comfy casual...not like pj pants, tho....lol...I have been to a few other quilds, and there are some people who really dress up! As long as everyone is treated the same, I don't think it matters what you wear...I don't "do" snobbery, but have been with people who are "under dressed" and seem "uppity" and some who are elegantly dressed and been so kind...you just never know...I know for me, I want to enjoy myself when I am there, and for me that means casual pants or in summer capris...and the main thing I love about my guild is how different we all may be, and yet we all get along so great...being accepted for being yourself is a wonderful thing!
    Regards,

    I belong to two guilds. The smaller guild meets in the day time and the usual dress is casual. The larger guild meets in the evening and the usual dress is casual tho some of the members look like they just rolled out of bed. I go with the casual look and even if I wear jeans I try to have a nice top, jewelry and a jacket - depends on the weather.

    Our guild is full of wonderful ladies! Mostly dressed casual. No one seems to notice what others are wearing. We have a delightful, funny president who makes us all laugh. Humor is great for making people comfortable. I have felt welcomed there since I joined a year ago. I really look forward to going. As for dress for me, warm in the winter and cool in the summer...
