A Question of Couture

Our office Xmas party is looming imminent; and I have nothing to wear... So I have to make a decision: Do I sew my own outfit? Or do I permit Boyfriend make good on his offer to buy me an outfit?

As an Old Fogey, I don't get out much anymore. So an Xmas party outfit would be a one~off; and as such, it would really be a waste to spend any money on it. The economical thing to do would be to sew it myself; but the idea intimidates me. I've never attempted to sew anything that complex.

Don't know why this decision worries me so much; looking at it purely from a fashion perspective, I can't lose. Either way I end up with a nice outfit.

Figure I'll give making it a shot, and gamble on the reception hall being romantically {dimly} lit.

Who knows? It could be fun. I might find that my true calling is to be a clothesmaker. Anything could happen. That's the magic of Xmas. ;}

I'll attempt it tonight; and should it end up a couture catastrophe, then I'll impose on Boyfriend to be as good as his word.

Wish me luck...
