Thrift stores really are wonderful. I go to them a fair amount myself, though, being in New York, even there there aren't really prices quite that good. And that would be fun, the surprising people! You could wear tights/stockings with it maybe, if that would help with the leg issues? I don't know if it would, but I suppose it's possible.

Yes, that makes sense. It can be problematic to try to explain to people, though - they'll always go, "But you weren't bothered by that!" or something.
