#47. Make something to wear to work

Status: Not exactly complete
I was half-thinking of copping out on this goal a little by saying that, technically, since my "work" is now being a lady of leisure, the cocktail dress I made to wear at the Gala at the Met kind of counted.
Pretty, no? (I'm still a tad shy - the whole thing looks a bit silly hanging against the wall, but it does look good on) It's not even really a cop out, because a cocktail dress is not a simple thing to make! But I do want to stick to the goal, so have a proper work outfit planned - a length of orange silk suiting that I'll make into an A-line, below knee skirt and wear with black heels and black top and jacket. Think I just need a zipper and thread. And 8 or 9 hours. Funny how they're the hardest to find, even as a Lady of Leisure...
