MFF and thoughts on School Uniforms

Crossposted from LJ
After getting back from MFF my thoughts went back to creating things, specifically sewing something for friends and such. Even though I recently told a friend that you basically have to do your art for yourself, which I still believe, for me I always seemed to want others to enjoy it. So I thought maybe the best thing to do is rather than make something for myself I should make something for others.
One thing that came up again was the babyfur school uniform. So for those of you that don't know at AC I wore my British schoolboy uniform and everyone loved it so after the con I somewhat commissioned a friend to get an art piece done of that (which is adorable btw and here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3080654 ). This also made me consider creating one designed specifically for us cubs to wear around. So when I was at the Cub Hub this year I started talking to another cub who was thinking of making a girls school uniform too. Personally I'm not int girls clothes but I know there are a lot of sissyfurs out there. So I was thinking making something for both boy and girl that for boy is formal and very boyish and girls also formal but very girlish. In general I've never really thought of creating girls clothes but thought "well I really don't want to leave anyone out".
So here's some of my thoughts on making a costume for this.
For boys we start off with a jacket. I was thinking something similar to this:

I'm fond of blue and bright primary colors screams childish. As for the piping I was thinking more of a baby blue.
Most uniforms have some sort of sweater vest/full sweater and was thinking something like this:

Of course again replacing the green with baby blue.
After that boys uniforms follow go with grey shorts (for the younger kids at least) or grey pants and knee socks which differ.
Also ties was thinking: http://www.perryuniform.co.uk/acata....._royalgrey.jpg with of course baby blue rather than grey.
Last but not least caps: http://www.perryuniform.co.uk/acata.....-LDP_royal.jpg Same as before with baby blue piping or possibly alternating colors of the two blues and the bill being royal with the school badge being on a light blue panel in front.
I think I like these the best: http://www.perryuniform.co.uk/acata.....TPP-73-SOC.jpg but there could be a grey and color top instead. Socks in general would be the hardest thing to do because you'd have to have them specially made and most of the other things can be made from sewing yourself. Would love to find a supplier to make all this stuff in general just so it'd be easier to mass produce and ship here for sales and such, if anyone knows of one let me know.
As for girls I was thinking of a full dress in the sailor-esque look. This is something close to the idea but having the sailor scarf piece in the back and the dress being royal blue with baby blue piping and lining http://www.perryuniform.co.uk/acata.....7-PCG_ging.jpg
So both uniforms would have a badge/school insignia for babyfurs. Haven't fully thought that out yet but working on it.
So yeah basically that's my full thoughts on that at the moment. There was some talk on making a basic uniform and having school houses (like they have in Harry Potter) but I think that it would almost be too much work and not sure who would order what. Not that I wouldn't probably have a uni from each house for myself but I'm more concerned with seeing who's interested in the first place rather than the multiple house and such. BTW I used the Perry uniform site because it was the first I found with decent pics and these are real actual uniforms in the UK.
