Fashion Night Excerpt One: What to wear for a firm event
As a benefit to some of those who missed Fashion Night, I am reprising some of the key tips provided by our panel of experts. Our first tip is for professional women attending firm events.
The key to dressing for a firm event is to remember that you want to (1) Err on the side of being conservative, and (2) Err on the side of being overdressed. For both these reasons, the full burqa (pictured here) is the perfect solution for the female associate attending a firm dinner. It assures that you will avoid being a distraction to others or becoming the target of discussion. Some may ask, "Isn't the full burqa an impediment to eating and talking?" Not if you handle things the right way, as shown in this video of two summer associates at a prominent Houston firm enjoying an informal firm luncheon.
Another advantage to the full burqa is that it greatly reduces the chance that you will be offered alcoholic beverages, which should be avoided at all times.
One more important rule: Remember that all advice goes for your spouse or date as well.

To err on the side of annoying, what would be the appropriate undergarments for a burqa? Is it safe to assume they're like judge or choir robes where nothing is the norm? PA.
You seem a little obsessed with this "no undergarments" issue... I probably should refer you to Swanburg. But, I think that for a firm event, one should wear a lot of undergarments, plus hose.
The undergarements rule for kilts is "none." Seems like it should be the same for burqas.
Perhaps the required topic for tomorrow's Haiku Friday should be "undergarments."

Stef,
Even with a burqa, you must lift and separate.
Wear undergarments. Lots of them.
-Everybody.

While wearing a burqa to a firm event, when does the desire to blow up a bus of small children set in?

I forgot about the "lift and separate." It's actually uncomfortable without undergarments up top unless you have the physique of a 12-year-old boy.
Bwahahahahaha! TMI! Why's I bring this up again? Oh that's right...so that someone would mention kilts.

Wait a minute-- they are totally naked under those choir robes? What kind of twisted church do you go to?

The slogan of my kilt-making client is "We Sell Freedom."
How could you forget about "lift and separate"? Are you sure you don't have the physique of a 12 year old boy? Or perhaps you are one.
What is a "pef" anyway?

Church choir didn't have robes.
Junior high choir...some folks figured they were OK as long as they still had the appearance of wearing something under the robe.
Um, ew. TMI.
Pef is something that rhymes with Stef. Puffalump, unfortunately, isn't.
