In the office, Jelma was all business. She looked the part in her severely cut pinstripe women's suit. She stood by the whiteboard and drew out six points of importance about her new dress design. Turning to face her audience, Jelma clicked the remote in her left hand and brought up the PowerPoint display. Addressing her colleagues, her pretty face nodded and she explained her design process and production plan. She left out the difficulty with the shoulder straps. One man raised a hand and caught Jelma's eye. She nodded.
He asked, "It looks good, in fact excellent. The shoulder straps must have been a challenge?"
Jelma took a few seconds to answer, "Thank you for your comments and thoughts. Yes the shoulder straps were... a challenge. Now all is done."
"I see," said the businessman.
"I will unveil my pre-production copy for you. You will get an idea of the finished version," the younger designer replied. She picked up her iFone and made a quick call. In seconds a colleague brought a covered clothes hangar into the room and left.
"Is that it?" asked a female colleague.
"Yes it is. Now I will unveil it."
Jelma placed the hangar upon a chrome wall hook by the whiteboard. In one single swift sweep of her arm, she withdrew the white cover. The audience, her audience, were silent. All saw the dress. Not a word was said.
Now is the time of judgement. For me, my skills, my career and above all, judgement of my dress.
