Little Mae arrives today (my only sister, who is 8 years younger and 6 inches taller than I, with stick-straight blonde hair) and my two other-sized Lauren silk "Graison" dresses arrived yesterday.*

One of them fits -- to my eye -- beautifully but with Mae here I can have some photos taken without the distraction of Mr. April's comments.

I value Mr. April's opinions, to a point, but they often involve observations such as "it could be a little shorter/tighter/lower cut/more curve-hugging" -- you get the idea.

*Mae was an active YLFer for a time about 10 years ago. She comes to us from the Wild West every summer but of course last summer was COVID.
