The maids were all along the route of the Azalea Trail run. I imagine they
are, or were, called out for a number of trademark events. Even though I
was running, I noticed them and thought they were a hoot.
Guess lots of cities have, or had, outlets for the debs. Of course in New

To me they look like the grown up versions of the cupcake skirts worn by little

That line of them makes me think of those dolls that were a craft craze years
ago that you'd see in the back windshield
Do you suppose her underwear also is color co-odinated?
They did say the outfit includes pantalettes.
Completely different, eh? Not to the casual observer!
Maybe one has 3-1/2 wide ruffles, and one has 3-1/4 ruffles, etc.

The sad thing is that there is so much that one can do in a design with
ruffles and none of the gowns seem to try that route. it's either rows or
scallops. :P I wonder if any of them ever considered pleating the ruffle

Ann,
We lived in Gulfport until 1980. Maybe that was when they changed.
Previously it was to represent the antebellum period. Mobile, Natchez, and
I believe Vicksburg do the trail maids. Am I leaving out any other cities?
I believe Albert Cat said that they did them in his area of North
