There are three different categories of clothes for Flo.
.
1. Automatic. These appear throughout the story
mode of the game. For example, you will get some baseball
clothes for the ballpark, a jacket and tie for the museum,
and so on. Once they appear in the closet, you can use them
at any time.
.
2. Free, but optional. From time
to time the online store (where you spend real money) offers
free items as a bonus, usually to go with a new bonus
restaurant. The Santa hat has been free since
Winter Wonderland was released.
There is also a free skirt outfit called "Fabulous and
Free". To find these items, you have to have the Gourmet
Edition (it will say Gourmet Edition on the main menu).
Choose the Shop option from the main menu. Remember that you
are spending real money here!
.
To find clothes,
click on the My Waiter tab. (Even though it says My Waiter,
you will be able to use the female clothes for Flo.) Look
through the choices--each has a price. If the price is
$0.00, it's a free item. Pick the ones you want and put
them in your shopping cart. Then check out. Check the
total carefully to make sure it's zero.
.
After
you check out, the items will be downloaded. They will then
appear in Flo's closet the next time you play.
.
3. Costs money, optional. This works just like the free
items, except you're paying real money, from 49 cents to
about $3 for the items. Check the specials tab, because
they often have a package of several items together at a
reduced price (like a hair bow, shirt, skirt, and shoes for
$1.99, when the individual items are 99 cents each).
.
When you check out, you will pay with a real credit
card. Again, the female items will download and be
available for Flo.
.
In all cases note that as you
get more items you will get more pages in Flo's closet. If
you don't see an item, make sure you've checked to see if a
new page was added, too.
.
Getting the clothes is
like getting clothes for Barbie--some people love them, some
just stick with the original. I thought the Santa hat was a
nice free bonus.
.
Have fun!
