It's not about having nothing to wear! It's about the inability of the costumes we wear to conceal the person underneath. Regardless of what she wears to the party, she'll end up sitting alone and crying. She's a "poor" girl because her soul is impoverished, not because she hasn't a thing to wear.

Anyway, these are some of Lou Reed's best lyrics.
