What to wear to the oath ceremony?

[Cdnwmn 0]

Ok don't laugh but I've gotten too fat to wear any of the nice blouses and skirts that I own to my oath ceremony which is this Thursday afternoon. I do have nice pants, shoes and sweaters however as far as the sweater issue goes it will be in the 60s where I live. Am I now going to be forced to go out and purchase a larger skirt and blouse to wear to this ceremony?

You can wear anything you want. They can't deny you for not wearing fancy clothes. Jeans and a t-shirt is fine. It's all I am planning to wear.

I had my interview last week, and at the Fairfax VA office they do the oath the very same day. But thanks to a mysterious "extra file" I wasn't able to do it that day, no biggy. The dress from others ranged from jeans and a nice shirt/sweater to full on suits, skirts/blouses. Best of luck

Are you pregnant? In our town like yours, all kinds of places to buy these clothes, St. Vincent de Paul, Good Will, Salvation Army, garage sales, neighbors, relatives, friends, in very good like new condition and reasonable, literally, a couple of dollars. Sure you will want to dress so you don't feel conspicuous, and do feel comfortable, can have your photos taken for this big day for you. It means the USCIS no longer rules over your life.

Believed you are concerned about your dress or you wouldn't have asked. 60's is not too hot to wear a sweater, most important thing is you be there. With the current economy, seeing lots of sales going on right now, like 80% off, often wondered about the markup on clothes, several stores in town are going out of business. Seen some women wearing some very old clothes, but were modest and neat, but can't say any were wearing short shorts or hip huggers, didn't see any blue jeans either nor t shirts. Be comfortable.

I recommend a pair of "Daisy Dukes" and a tube top. Nothing says AMERICA like that...

LOL no, not pregnant. I'm 49 years old.

Anyhoo I decided to try on this skirt with matching top that is a set. It's also dressy. It is made of this kind of stretchy type material and also has the pants to go with it. Well the skirt and top (short sleeved) fit and it looks just fine so I'm happy!

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Worse thing a husband can say, is honey, did you put on a couple of pounds? LOL. Usually say something like, know of this beautiful bike trail or a nice river we can kayak on. Her co-workers are the major culprits, always bringing in good things to eat, well not too bad, she did gain ten but lost three of it. Tell her I am highly claustrophobic. Have this strong fear of being trapped in say an accident and not being able to put myself out of it. Don't have to tell her about her clothes getting too tight. Something bad about America, people like to eat, not only the right foods, but just a tad too much.

Oh yeah he knows I have put on the weight like crazy but he doesn't say anything. I had shed a bunch of pounds before a trip to New Orleans in July but once I got back home started to pig out again due to boredom.

Wife likes to wear my clothes, well, just around the house, asks me if it's okay, say fine, as long as you don't grow into them, LOL.
