I need remedial girl lessons

[lindaj]

Apparently one cannot have an evening gown altered unless one brings in the shoes that one intends to wear with it.

Except one doesn't yet own the shoes, because one has very wide feet, which makes shoe shopping a special sort of hell.

And here I was, thinking I was clever for bringing in the intended undergarments.

This is the part where I get gripey at all of the boys, who get to simply go out and rent a tux.

Okay, I will do that in re the event thingy.

I actually bought my tux up in central square. Cheap place, very ethnic name (middle european, or Jewish). Got a vintage waistcoat (which I will have you know, I pronounce as weskit) and studs (I collect cufflinks and cuff buttons, vintage masonic ones especially), and I own a pocket watch and double t chain.

When I wear a tux, I'm ALL dudded up.

I will find you something to wear it at. Might I suggest the Open Hearth Foundation annual Gal? But is in DC. It's a Pagan fundraiser, Black Tie Optional . . .

Keezers, you mean? Great place, and I love their history (sort of a pawnshop for the rich harvard kids to get more pocket money by selling off their duds, back when kids went to school with fancy duds).

But getting and owning a tux is still logistically easier than the girl's clothing shenanigans.

well, yes, because it's simply not done for a woman to wear the same dress more than once, regularly. Why is that so?

Not fair to them in my opinion.

Yes, Keezer's.

Love it, good deals, and I bought new . . .
