50. Would it matter if she were competent?

I've always felt like there was a weird quasi-magic aspect to formal attire. That somehow it conveys more respectability. If that's the case then sure, putting her in more formal clothing might be useful for her professionally. Honestly though, I've known real idiots who dress very nicely, so I don't think it actually increases ones ability. It's just camouflage.

Aw, leave her alone... dchill Apr 17 #1
