Do you mean you already have a child home and you dress that child in Guatemalan clothing and take them out here in America? I ask because I saw on your timeline that you're going to Guatemala and I wondered??? Personally, we bought our daughter traditional Mayan clothing and had her photos taken in it when we brought her home but, really, I bought it as a keepsake for her. It's in her lifebox. She can take it out and look at it whenever she likes but, she's only 2 years old and so far, she's more interested in her princess dress! I would not take her out in public in it here because #1) I think it would be uncomfortable to wear #2) I think she would feel uncomfortable in it because it would draw even more attention to her and #3) because I think she would scream "NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" at the top of her lungs if I tried and she would throw a tantrum and refuse to wear it! Some days I can't even get her to wear socks! hahaha
