We have been invited to a 40th birthday party, which is lovely, but the dress code is glam/black tie. Do I spend hours making something I might only wear once, or take a risk and wait until after Christmas and hope to find something in the sales? It's not until the end of January so plenty of time. Or would my quirky, Hadron Collider inspired Christmas party skirt be suitable if glammed up with a bit of shiny jewellery?

The other problem is a husband whose preferred dress code is somewhere between Compo and Worzel Gummage! He does have a dress suit hanging in the wardrobe but it's so long since he's worn it. The jacket might still fit but I doubt if the trousers will!
