Harrovians Toastmasters Club in Harrow, London. 

Years ago I would not have bought a season outfit. Waste of money as you only wear it once to a party. Too twee.

Might offend non-Christian friends.

Then, one year I saw one in a sale. When asked to dress in Xmas theme, I can oblige. 

In theory I should keep it in a suitcase up in the attic or an outroom such as a store room, maid's room, scullery/utility room.  The suitcase would be labelled Xmas with a all the decorations. 

However, I tend to keep most things out. This works well if you want to find it in a hurry. I did. iwent to my cupborad of thick woolly jumpers and found it immeditely on the top of the pile.

 Red skirt

A black skirt would do, but a red skirt is jolly. Luckily I have several. I pulled out a red skirt. EWM Pure Classics Size 14. 49% linen. 45%  viscose. 6% cotton. Keep away from fire. It looks thick, but isn't. It is lightweight, which is comfortable to wear, but not very warm in winter. 

So, for extra warmth, I am wearing a black underslip, and orange stretch velvet look tracksuit bottoms.

Remove belt before washing.
