Right! Time to get to work! It's not time to dress yet, but there are some difficult decisions to be made before we start the next phase of the evening. On a night like this, it's not enough to dress in one's best threads - a truly successful occasion means choosing a theme, narrative and teleology for our ensembles. Subtle adjustments can be the difference between being hot, and just being a hot mess.
Will tries on some variations of his signature look. Perfectionist that he is, only exactly right is good enough, but I record both ideas for posterity, because even his rejected themes are often a gold-mine of couture genius!

Will's been zipped and unzipped, and let's never speak of that again. It's time for me to make some tough picks! I've winnowed down the hundreds of potential gowns in my closet to a mere none. Decision made, I slip on my Batman t-shirt (DC, Fruit of the Loom). With an elegant, basic, classy piece like this, accessorizing is the key. This is one of my favourite parts of the evening. I have to pick a few baubles from a trove of borrowed feathers.
Whew! An embarrassment of riches! Our choices made, it's time to really start getting ready for the evening!
