A Letter To Betsey Johnson

October 3rd, 2007 @ 1:53 pm by Mrs. Petunia

Dear Betsey:

I’m sorry that your young dreams of becoming a dancer never came to full fruition, but I’m glad that you became the famous fashion icon that you are because otherwise you never would have designed this little number that I just happened to fall in love in with and that I just happened to purchase while on my trip to New York last month.

Yes, I did spend an exorbitant amount of money on it, more than I have ever spent on any dress (well, other than my wedding gown), but it’s the dress I plan to wear to my Paris-themed wedding shower come this January, and did I happen to mention that it will go perfectly with the shoes I had already purchased, and that it’s perfect in every other way, too?

I’d also like to compliment you on your company’s hiring practices. Oh, I’m sure you’re much too high up on the food chain to take part yourself in interviewing those who actually work in your stores, but someone at Bestsey Johnson is doing something right!

I mean, I’ve been to other high-end frou-frou stores where I’ve pretty much been Pretty Woman-ed (you remember, Julia Roberts’ character asks: “How much is this?” and the saleslady responds: “I don’t think this would fit you” and then she’s asked to leave). Yet nobody judged me for my cheap Target-bought sunglasses or my no label shoes, and in fact, probably offered some of the best retail customer service of my life, so I’m writing you Betsey to thank you, and I’d also like to give a shout out to Jasmin in your SoHo store, because both of you helped make one more wedding related thing quite the enjoyable and memorable event.

Aww, love it!

I bought a Betsey Johnson dress this past summer too, that looks kind of similar, except it’s more like a strapless silk sheath (similar silhouette and length to yours) and the part above that (yoke and puffy sleeves) are sheer. I got many compliments on it .. and the quality is great!

I love it — Betsy Johnson was the first “major designer” dress I ever bought. I still have it — it’s a black cocktail dress with lots of little black bows. Anyway — from what I’ve learned of you on your posts, it looks like it’s also very YOU which I love! Cheers to pretty new things. I’d say that’s rehearsal dinner dress worthy!
