Dear kleerl--Is there a possibliity that you would consider a lower price if there is not enough interest? I am not in the financial position at this time although I need to gather a work wardrobe. I think this dress may work well for me. I understand, if you are not able.  Thank you for the consideration.

Dear -----Exactly where are you in your career?  Have you time to shop? 

As I climbed the career ladder, I travelled a lot--large cities mostly--and I learned where the top consignment shops were in D.C., Kansas City, etc.  Each time I was there, I would visit the shop, sometimes taking bus to train to taxi.  I was pretty determined to get my brands at great prices. 

Also remember that St. John Knits can be blocked up by two sizes.  More importantly than change in body shape is your ability to buy up to two sizes too small, or in my experience, one size too large, and for less than $20 have your dry cleaners size it to fit you perfectly.  This means YOU CAN GET GREAT DEALS.  If the skirt is too small but it costs only $20, buy it and have it blocked for $5!

Finally, log onto stjohnknits.com and neimanmarcus.com and check out this season's St. Johns so that you can buy vintage and past years' items and be totally in style.  (Buy on Ebay now for next fall and save!save!save!  St. John just announced their pre-fall fashions.) 

Hope I have been of help.
