You’re old fashioned, he said.
I’m not twenty.
And this dress is my favorite.
I know you think it’s plain
but look at the subtle weave,
number of threads to the inch.
And the color! Have you ever seen color
reflect summer like this?
The cut is simple.
I like simple clothing.
It is soft, it breathes .
It gives me pleasure
feeling the skirt rustle around my legs
when a breeze vies for my attention.
Costly fabric, hand made, finest flax.
It took a long time to find the right pattern;
sewing it was simple.

He bowed over my hand and kissed it.
