Dear Sandra,
I know there are a lot of badly dressed women out there, but my sewing group, all six of us, are very concerned about how we look. None of us is under 40! And we are very disappointed that you are discontinuing your seasonal Fashion Forecast. We all look forward to us. We know that you are always ahead of the trend. Please don’t give up. Hope is there in the over 50 group!
With Best Wishes,
Dove
