To Gi or Not to Gi

It is official- I am signed up and ready to attend the upcoming seminar in Richmond. YAY!!! I am super excited to meet some other Jiu Jitsu girls. I am starting to feel official-

I have a BJJ sticker on the back of my car.

I have a weekend seminar scheduled.

I am covered in bruises and am currently toting a broken right foot. It is quite colorful and lovely.

The only thing I lack at the moment is a Gi. The cordial group in Richmond has offered to loan me one- but I would like to order one for myself anyway-

I prefer to go with a blue- or anything other than black and white really-

Suggestions? Do the Gis really differ from men to women? Any particular brands that are really good? I have one suggestion already (thanks Leslie!)..but it is a cheapie spare...so what I need to know is if you could only buy one Gi and it had to be the best Gi you could buy at that moment- what would you get???

Hope you are all doing well! I can't thank you all enough for the ongoing support. Things are really looking up at my gym...apparently the guys have been "bragging" about me behind my back..YAY!@@
