Maxie walked into the room and found Kate holding a floor length lilac gown. It was Strapless with a back drape. "Oh my!" Maxie breathed. "That is …" Maxie tried to remember Kate's lesson on vocabulary. "Exquisite."
Kate smiled approvingly, "Yes, it is. The designer is…"
"Becca De Very, right?" Maxie asked.
Kate dropped the dress down and eyed Maxie over it. "She has never debuted on a runway, how do you know about her?"
"There is an article about her in vogue. They described her work as classic and cliché in a wonderful way." Maxie explained. "The detail at the top has a very old school look to it. Most designers are trying to be unique and in being unique they become conformist. But, her work really stands out."
Kate nodded, "I agree." She said. "She sent this dress and I think they intended for me to wear it but it's not my size."
"Do you want me to call her publicist and have them send another?" Maxie asked.
"I already did." Kate said. "They are sending a different dress in my size but they told me to keep this one." Kate looked Maxie up and down. "This looks your size."
Maxie held her breath as she nodded.
"Did you mail the invites to the launch party?" Kate asked again Maxie nodded. "A lot of famous people are expected at this party." Kate took on of the silver lined envelopes from her purse and handed it to Maxie and then handed her the dress. "I recommend not coming to these functions alone. A date is always the best accessory a girl can find. This will be an excellent chance for you to network."
"Really?" Maxie squealed. "You want me to come to the party. In that?"
"Lavender is the summer color you know." Kate said. "I am having dinner at Sonny's. You did a good job today. See you tomorrow."
Kate left the room. Maxie stood there holding the most wonderful gown she had ever been in a room with and sighed happily. The only problem no was who to bring?
