I had to make a tuxedo for a toy bear to attend a wedding. My GS's mom was getting married. GS wanted to take toy bear to wedding. Mom wasn't thrilled with the idea so said he had to have a tuxedo to wear thinking GS would not be able to find one. Problem solved without actually having to say no.
GS ask me if I could do it. Of course I could. "Gizmo" went to the wedding and was a hit with the guests. Mom? She could have killed me.
