Quote:or ways for A.C. to avoid wearing it at all.Besides "Don't show up," I assume...
There's bound to be more than one faction that doesn't believe in "full dress". One might note that during the sole event hosted by Stellvia Corporation where full dress would have been appropriate, A.C. was instead required to wear a tuxedo (being in the wedding party and all). I've http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?titl ... orporation]mentioned elsewhere that Noah likes A.C., and thus wouldn't put her through the headache of "full dress" if he had a choice... which may explain why A.C. hangs out at Stellvia so much when she's not at home.
Edit: Of course there's another faction where dressing up like this isn't necessary - the "Long" Heinleinans. "Formal dress or formal skin" does offer a choice, after all...
