Petra Tangos.

3:00 a.m.

Grand ballroom at the Hotel Ritz Madrid.

Petra’s dress has dazzled everyone in sight at the dinner dance for Max’s current and future investors.

In one of those rare moments of superb inspiration, which Max is not famous for, he whispers something to the orchestra leader, and the first few notes of “La Cumparsita,” are heard.

Max offers Petra his hand.

She twirls into his arms, their eyes lock, and all other motion in the room has stopped.

Petra’s Studded Shoulder Tango Dress (No. 3649). Vintage knee length in a body skimming jersey knit which can be worn with or without the self-belt. (Should you go sans belt, there are no loops to mar the line.)

Show-stopping shoulder embellishment includes rhinestones, beads, and studs front and back. Slightly draped V-neckline.

I think I know what you’re humming.

Women’s sizes: 2 through 18.

Colors: Black, Fuchsia.
