Success

A modest stir

People whisper as you pass. Eyes follow you in the street. Your new clothing is not so garish as to upset propriety, nor so drab as to pass unnoticed. Soon enough, you sell the pattern to a well-known costumier. [...]


Failure

Alas, you played it too safe.

No one so much as comments on your outfit, despite your best efforts to draw attention to it. Instead, people remark on your irritating tendency to pat your collar and adjust your posture. Perhaps, they whisper, you are suffering from a condition?
