...that is, if you own a tux, if facility policy doesn't forbid, and if you're working New Year's Eve.

I'll substitute lovely gown for tux, and no. How on earth would I disinfect chiffon?

Sorry I wasn't clear--the poll is for if you (1) own a tux, (2) policy doesn't forbid, and (3) you're working New Year's Eve.

Yeah. Tough kind of question for women, for whom formal wear is as impractical as it is practical for men (tuxes are comfy as pajamas and have tons of pockets). But I was yakking with a room cleaner about patient morale and what could be done. She said she was going to wear a party hat all night, which is about all that can be done with her uniform and work requirements, and I recalled my tux was just gathering dust since I retired as a musician...the patients are so sad this time of year, you know?

Why not put on the jacket and a bow tie over the scrubs? They'll laugh about it and you can divest yourself of the superfluous garments should the need arise.

You can't wash your tux in hot water c detergent, either. Well, you can, but it doesn't render the tux wearable.

And I can do ANYTHING in chiffon. I adore it! Seriously, I'm the last generation of female who were required to wear skirts, period, in all circumstances. I don't mind it.

There is no way that I would wear anything other than uniform on New Years Eve.

There was a tradition for a long time in the UK of wearing something silly on Christmas day, but that seems to have gone - pity.
