In part 1 we asked, “What sort of special event is it?” and if you’ve received a ‘proper invitation’ then we’ve already discussed exactly what to wear.

The next step is to find it.

Hidden treasure – First of all, check your own extensive wardrobe and see whether you haven’t already got something appropriate for this special event. If you have already sorted out the contents of your wardrobe, then you’ll already know exactly what you’ve got in there.
