A Flamenco Christmas.

Snow outside.

Fireplace is crackling but hardly a conversation is alive.

Christmas cheer in short supply.

You enter in the nick (or St. Nick) of time with a guitar, and ruffles that do what the right ruffles do (flatter everything in sight).

People begin to move. Smiles emerge. You tune your guitar, reminding those who have gathered tonight of the passion that has been burning in Andaluca for 500 years.

You belt out the famous gypsy guitar version of Jingle Bell Rock and suddenly everyone is dancing (and now singing).

Flamenco Christmas Blouse (No.5518). A taffeta weave that can stand up to the most rigorous footwork. Shaping body darts. Frilly V-neck does its trick. Self-tie wraps in a bow on your left. Imported.
