Did your parents, spouse or siblings get all in a tizzy about what they were going to wear a couple of weeks or months before the District Convention?
My ex is a pretty good seamstress (it's in the DNA she inherited from her dad, a famous tailor from Europe who made suits for celebs like S.Stallone, C. Eastwood, etc.) and she would get all excited about what she and my teenaged daughter would be making and wearing to the Convention.
Field Service was all but forgotten during the weeks leading up to the big 3 day event.
Meals were hastily thrown together affairs, usually cold sandwiches or Papa John's pizza delivered by young men who couldn't keep their roaming eyes off my daughter.
If the house got cleaned, my son and I had the honors.
She and my daughter (home schooled) stayed up until 3 or 4 in the morning until the task of designing, making patterns and tailoring 3 distinct, sexy outfits for each one of them was finished.
By the time it was all done they were both exhausted and stressed to the max.
During the entire Convention all they could talk about between themselves was what other sisters were wearing.
Two days after the Convention they could barely remember anything of what was said from the platform but they could recite in detail which sister in each local congregation was the most fashion conscious and best dressed.
