Vintage whimsy at J. Peterman Co.

I discovered this site through, of all places, Catalogs.com. It's an extraordinary site with an extraordinary story. Built from the ground up by a former ballplayer, it went bankrupt once before coming back stronger than ever. What I love most is the romance surrounding all of its pieces - from the beautiful watercolor illustrations to the story-like item descriptions. I'm so intrigued, and will likely make a first purchase soon. Hope the quality of the clothing lives up to the persona of the brand.

I was thinking of the great leader since I was in “his” airport studying a young woman in front of me. Don’t know if she was a true leader, but I know I would have followed her anywhere. I watched her stride off; her pants clinging, but flowing at the same time. A body-skimming blouse on top. Very attractive look, I thought. Suddenly there was a large gap in the line in front of me. My French ferret, who knows me only too well, said, “Stop outfitting.” Anyway, I know these items will surprise you and keep your public breathless and excited.

Plaid Taffeta Blouse

(No. 2919). Plaid meets 100% silk taffeta and you never have to ask where’s the party. You’re in it. With shawl collar. Two-button closure with tie front. Long sleeves with a demure slit and button. Front and back princess lines. Shaped hem. Looks fantastic with anything, especially pleat-front pants. Imported.

Women’s sizes: 2 through 18.

Color: Red, Black, Cream Plaid.
