It is an absolute must to dress up when I go out to a play, opera, or even the ballet. In fact, my gothic wardrobe tends to get the most compliments when I am at the theater. I have enough black opera coats to last me a lifetime, but I love them. Where I live, they are very necessary too, since it’s so cold half the time!
