<p>I don’t if it was quite the same event–my dd went to an alumni dinner after she had her Appointment. I browbeat both my dd and my dh into wearing suits–I pointed out that they could leave the jackets on the back of their chairs if they were overdressed. Um no, they were very GLAD they had them! And at the last minute, my dh chose a blue suit rather than brown–duh! It is Navy–what color did we THINK they would be wearing!</p>
<p>My dd also went to several open houses sponsored by various MOCs–information gathering gigs. My dd wore her suit, but took the jacket off quickly.</p>
<p>btw–that was one of the best investments we ever made–we bought a VERY nice suit with a silky embroidered blouse at the beginning of the entire process. It had both pants and skirt. She wore it to all her interviews. Of course, now it doesn’t fit–she grew another inch… But it was well worth the money spent!</p>
