If you can, it would be good to take a few private or semi-private lessons to get the technique down, then perhaps a few group sessions to get it dialed in.
That's what I did, and now I just use the Classical Pilates Technique mat workout DVD at home (but there are plenty of other good DVDs as well)

definitely master the technique before you try it at home. not only will it be more effective, but it could keep you from having a serious injury. s

Fitted clothes are best so the instructor can see your core. Make sure you can move around in your clothing without feeling uncomfortable or self conscious. Anything made for yoga is good. That's it. Pilates is done shoeless so maybe a pedicure! Have fun. Actually, I do like having my own mat. Our Y provides mats but i don't necessarily like using one that everyone else has perspired on. Any yoga mat is good.
