What to Wear in Madagascar

To be honest, I have no idea what to wear in Madagascar, and this title may need to be changed to "what NOT to wear in Madagascar" in a few months. We will have to wait and see.

If you've never heard of it, it's when your heart rate suddenly goes 100 miles an hour. It's very unpredictable, scary, uncomfortable and exhausting. So, needless to say, I didn't get a ton of sewing done the last half of the year.
