In Favor for Embellishment.

You call just before holidays:

Mr. Peterman, I was wondering Are you going to offer a new floral skirt for the holidays?

You try to sound casual, but I can tell the question has been nagging at you; your voice has that little edge.

Let me spare you the anxiety.

The flowers here are entirely fresh, full of verve. The sequins come to life with the smallest movement or in the tiniest glimmer of light.

Tell me, are you pleased?

Roses and Sequins Maxi Skirt (No. J7908). The skirt of the season. Long, drapey, with a glittering sequin overlay printed richly with exuberant roses from waist to hem. Poly crepe de chine lining. Invisible zipper and hook-and-eye closure at wearers left side. Imported.
