Last year the topic came up on h-costume about newbies worried that they didn't have a costume to wear. I haven't worn a costume either year and didn't feel bad and no one treated me differently.
There were a pair of women who came to the opening day "Costume-Con 101" panel that Elaine Mami (who attended nearly every Costume-Con and is chairing 2012), Nora Mai (probably almost 20, chaired the 1998 con), Aurora Celeste (probably the last 5) and I (missed 3 in the last decade) did last year. Their first day they were wearing decorated shirts that said "This is my first Costume-Con."
It was a very effective way for them to break the ice, and we had a great time with them.
