I was halfway around when she stopped me. "Dear me, this is not how it should be." I felt her hand on my back and felt the dress tug a little. I heard zipper teeth come together and breathed out a sigh of relief. She must think the dress was too revealing in the back.

But my relief was short lived when I felt the back of the dress become a little looser and a little airier. "That's so much better. Way too much skin was being covered up."

"Don't you think this dress is a little too revealing?" I asked turning around. "I'll attract a lot of attention."

"Yes you will," she said in a satisfied voice. "Especially when you put on the shoes I've got for you." She nodded to a pair of light blue high heels I hadn't noticed before. "Go put them on while I get the last piece of your outfit."

"But I'm trying to blend in. Go unnoticed. One look to me and Fumantes will know something's up," I protested even as I pulled on the shoes. For as high as they were, I'd have expected them to be excruciatingly painful, but they were really very comfortable. In fact, it felt as if I were wearing flats instead of heels.

I glanced at the brand name. Fendior. Of course they were so comfortable. They cost a small fortune and the people who bought them demanded absolute comfort. I wondered if I could convince Ms. Blanc to give me the shoes when all was said and done.

"Here, this will complete your ensemble perfectly," Ms. Blanc said, presenting what looked to be a very dramatic, very heavily veiled light blue hat.

The hat itself was a small cocktail hat, very pretty with dark blue embroidery. What made it dramatic, however, were the peacock feathers which rose from the back of the hat. They only went up about six inches, but for me, it was six inches too much.

 I was halfway around when she stopped me. " Dear me, this is not how it should be. " I feel her handwriting on my back and felt the dress tug a short. I heard zipper tooth come in concert and breathed out a sigh of easing. She must remember the dress was too revealing in the binding. 

 But my relief was short lived when I feel the back of the dress become a little looser and a little airy. " That's so much better. Way too much skin was being covered up. " 

 " Don't you think this dress is a little too revealing? " I asked turning around. " I'll attract a lot of attention. " 

 " Yes you will, " she said in a satisfied articulation. " Especially when you put on the shoe I've pay back for you. " She nodded to a pair of clean aristocratic high heels I hadn't comment before. " Go put them on while I get the last piece of your outfit. "
