Ah yes, the various things I have done whilst wearing a hoop skirt... driving (both standard and stick shift), pumping gas, going to a public restroom (that's always a fun one). A few times while in period dress I've had to make a run to Wal-Mart. Not a big deal, unless you are by yourself (always better to grab a fellow period-costumed person to go with you). Then there was the one time my friend and I made a hospital call while clad in our 1861 attire.
The really strange thing is when we are mistaken for Amish.
