Costuming dilemma

[hazliya]

So, I'll be playing a young Kaylee from Firefly in a game at Intercon. I just got my character sheet, and Kaylee is super cute and girly. Yep, definitely Kaylee. Now, time to assemble a costume.

Here's my dilemma:
As I was re-watching Firefly, Kaylee is sometimes seen wearing floral Little House on the Prarie dresses. But whenever she's on the ship, it's usually cargoes or a jumpsuit. I can easily assemble either costume, but I happen to have the perfect floral-on-cream gingham dress sitting in my closet that I can easily throw a toolbelt onto and pair with gear earrings and some boots/flats. Else, it'll be cargoes and a tank top.

The appeal of Kaylee is that she's super cute *and* covered in engine grease. You've got the first covered, just add the second.

Wear the cargoes, bring the dress in case you get asked to an ice cream social.

If you're on ship wear the mechanic outfit, if you're on planet the dress with the tool belt and some grease smudges would work well.

The earliest we see Kaylee she is wearing a floral dress, so if you're playing a young version of her I'd say gingham with mechanic accents. It seems like unless she were actively working on an engine that's the kind of outfit she'd wear.
