It was pretty, if you happen to be young, petite, and wealthy.

<VBG> Coincidentally, there was a snippet in yesterday's NYTimes, talking about fashions and spending. Apparently, even some of the designers are struck by the lack of "sticker shock" among the "young, pettite and wealthy"... :) $4000 was quoted as being "reasonable" for a jacket or dress; I most sincerely hope it was a typo, by at least one zero, since even $40 has me decide that the last season's jeans will do for this season also
