I confess to having drawn a boundary when Tink casually announced that she'd take a few of my round dozen Villeroy & Boch bowls and plates with her when she went to university. We don't have "best" crockery any more, though, it's all in the cupboards to be used.

That's the style, Vrap. Things do get broken. - but that's still better than never used.

I do keep a pair for best though. I once went to a hospital appt in a pair of purple leopard print ones and it's traumatised me since!

Best underwear? No, but having said that I do have one of *those* bras and matching knickers that I only wear with *going out* clothes.

I bought a formal, winter coat (in an excellent sale!) a few years ago with the intention of keeping it for 'best'. Not really sure what sort of 'best' I had in mind but I've only worn it once (for a funeral) since and had completely forgotten about it until I came across it by chance in the wardrobe. Next winter, I'm going to wear it as much as possible because it is a really lovely coat :)

And if today's hail is anything to go by, you might still get a bit of wear out of it this winter!
