i try to let new people know they should listen, take those things which will work for them, make those things their own, and disregard the rest.  i also offer to help newcomers make their first outfits, go to cloth stores with them, and look at different fabrics.  discuss costume patterns with them, like replacing zippers with plakettes and lacing. even if they don't sew, if they want garb, have them there for the whole thing so they can see what it takes (and does not take) to make garb.  i try to let them see ways of doing, rather than discouraging their efforts.
 and it is really hard at times.
