I'm pretty sure you've seen pics of my Inara costume.

In it's current incarnation, it's culled from all over - an Indian choli paired with a Persian vest bodice and an Indonesian wrap skirt with a Chinese purse.

But it fits for the character/universe.

That being said, I am acutely aware that not being of Indian/Middle Eastern/Indonesian extraction, I am indeed wearing a costume.

Were I of any of those ethnic/racial backgrounds, I might reconsider that notion.
