With her two best friends, Sammy decides to go shopping for the perfect outfit for her work Christmas party in two days. She wants to stand out and be the “life of the party” while sharing her shopping and party experience with her social media followers. Sammy plans on buying a new dress, shoes, and accessories but could be persuaded to purchase new jewellery and some make-up if it matches the other pieces. She’s happy to spend as much time and money as she needs to find the perfect outfit, but would prefer not to try on too many things as she finds it tiring. She picks out 5 dresses and goes to the fitting room to try them on, grabbing one of the number cards from the sales assistant as she goes. 10 minutes later, she’s leaning on the wall of the dressing room, breathless as she looks over the last dress. One of the previous dresses was too short, the other too long, one of them had armholes that were too big, and one of them had the waist cinch in too low. This was the last dress and it was too loose from the top, making the whole dress look frumpy. She groaned as she realised she couldnt even get it altered so close to the party. Feeling dejected, she grabbed all the dresses, gave them to the sales assistant and left, going to find her friends to see if they had any dresses she could borrow. Maybe they’d fit better.
With Christmas close approaching Helen has found herself frequently window shopping, hoping to find the perfect outfit to wear to her families yearly party. Despite browsing stores with a specific event in mind Helen would prefer to buy an outfit that could, at a later date, be mixed and matched with various items in her wardrobe at home. She finally finds something she likes and after trying it on and finding it cute, decides to buy it. The day of the party, she decides to try it on again and is gutted when she realises that it looks totally different and also isnt the height she wanted. Whats worse is that when she sits, the fabric stretches over her stomach in such a way that she gets extremely self-conscious. She sighs and ties a light cardigan around her waist to cover it.
