things and see what kind of style you like?” She moved to another rack and pulled out a dress with thin straps. “What kind of clothes do you like to wear? Current? Retro? Are you looking for something traditional?”
Charity shook her head. “Not traditional. Just something simple and pretty.” Her idea of traditional was puff sleeves, loads of lace and a big, wide hip section. Not her style at all.
“What’s your everyday style? What do you tend to wear?”
“Probably something with a fifty, sixties era kind of flair, but not hippy. More classy.”
“New Zealand you said right? So probably outside?”
Charity nodded. “I’m thinking on the beach. The house where we are staying is huge.”
“Filthy huge,” Julie added.
The consultant nodded in understanding. “Maybe something like a retro, party dress silhouette.”
“No disco ball,” Julie said.
“Classy,” Charity added. “No veil or train for me, thanks.”
The girl snapped her fingers. “I know something that just came in that you might like.” She disappeared and came back two minutes later with four gowns over her arms. “It comes in a full length or tea cup length.” She held a creamy coffee color up in one hand and a white full length one in the other.
Charity gasped. The dress was beautiful. Beyond beautiful.
Julie squealed beside her.
The consultant turned around so they could see the backs of the dresses. “I’m not sure if you want tea length so it’s easy to walk on the beach. I was thinking that because your legs are so long, you might like the full length version.”
“Full length,” Julie said. “But try them both on.”
“The dress is made of tulle,” Kylie explained. “It’s sexy, flirty, very retro but totally classy. It features Venice applications and elegant beading on the bodice. There’s a silk dupioni sash which cinches around the waist.” The girl winked at Charity. “You have great breasts. This dress will definitely show them off without over doing it.”
They headed over to the dressing rooms. Julie waited outside talking to the sales girl while Charity stood inside the overlarge change room, trying to decide which one to try on first. She decided on the full length creamy white one. Slipping it on, she pulled the straps of her bra off her shoulders and tried to do the back zipper up. It was one of the invisible zippers and she could only get it up about half way.
She poked her head out the door. “Can you do the zipper for me?”
Kylie came in and zipped it up all the way. She whistled. “Wow.”
Charity stepped out of the change room and looked in the three full-length mirrors.
Julie grinned beside her and lifted Charity’s hair into a make-shift bun. “You’re gorgeous.”
The open back and lack of straps gave Charity’s elegant shoulders just the right amount of attention.
“Do you like it?” The sales girl stood grinning. “Do you want to try on the tea cup size?”
Charity shook her head. She was afraid to speak. The dress took her breath away. She looked like a bride in one of those magazines. She couldn’t believe it was her.
Julie hugged her. “They say when you find the perfect dress you’ll know.”
“I know,” Charity whispered. “I know.” She smiled shyly at Julie.
Julie stepped back. “Spin around. Look at the gorgeous back part of it again.”
Charity did as she asked. She grabbed the price tag and checked the price. Just over a thousand dollars? She hadn’t made a budget but it seemed a great price to her.
“We can have it boxed so you can travel with it. A lot of people are getting married somewhere hot these days so we offer that service now.”
Charity couldn’t believe how easy this had been. They had been in the shop for what, forty minutes only? It was crazy! It had taken longer to get downtown.
“Can she buy this dress? The one she has on right now?” Julie came around to touch the front of the dress. “You don’t have to order it in
