Mr Hanson,

I have just received and unpacked the gown.  I was, I will admit, somewhat trepidatious in doing so, and almost decided to defer the opening.  I was concerned that the reality would not live up to the expectation.  It is unfortunately all to common today to expend large sums only to be disappointed.

What a ridiculous worry!  The gown is magnificent!  You have so exceeded my (very high) expectations, that I am not sure there are enough exclamation marks to convey how pleased - and impressed - I am with the work you have done!  Far too rarely have I seen work of this quality and beauty.

This, though, creates two further issue.  First, I so much enjoy looking at the gown, that I am hesitant to wear it, although I am so impressed with how I look in it that I think I will soon get over this issue.  The second is that my wife already finds my habit of changing into my pyjamas, in an effort to push overstaying dinner guests out the door, annoying.  I can only imagine what she will say when I begin the dinner in my dressing gown!

Thank you again.

Best regards

Henry Sykes
