New Maxi Dress!


I have a habit of giving "nicknames" to the dresses we have in the store. It is a quick and easy reference to the dress with a humorous side. The wife yells at me "Don't call it that" and then she uses the short hand. It is pretty funny.
We have this dress that I call the "Drunken Flower." It is a flower print dress but when they cut it they used the fabric the wrong way. The flower pattern went sideways instead of up and down. So I called it the "Drunken Flower" because the flowers are all drunk and fell over. We were at our wits end. Do we send it back to be redone or sell it as is? We decided to sell it as is but made sure to mention it to everyone who tried it one. And you know what? The fabric is so great that people are buying it anyway.
This dress I called the "Mexican Dress" because it looks like the wall at our favorite Mexican Restaurant called Mezcal on Court St. We only made 12 of them and they are selling really well.

Very pretty!

I can't decide whether I'll be shopping for some nice jeans and a pretty blouse or a dress in your store when I come. I'm more of a blue jeans type, but every girl needs a nice "anywhere" dress.

And I know you're busy, but when you have time, you have mail, Trooper. :)

No problem, Trooper. Only when you have time, there isn't a rush!
