Question: Susan Kay Anderson - B. Riley Securities, Inc., Research Division - Analyst
: I guess, I wanted to touch a little bit more on the lifestyle or athleisure product that you've rolled out or increase in penetration. I guess, I'm curious
just relative to the average sales decline of 26%. How is that performing? Did you see any pockets of positive growth or close to positive growth?
And then just on the dress side, it sounds like you've definitely casualized those dresses. But I guess, are those dresses also down in penetration as
a percent of the mix, too, for the back half?
Question: Susan Kay Anderson - B. Riley Securities, Inc., Research Division - Analyst
: Great. That's very helpful. And then I'm curious, just for spring 2021, what you're seeing in terms of orders from your wholesale partners, I guess,
particularly department stores. Are you seeing any improvement at all from the second half?
Question: Susan Kay Anderson - B. Riley Securities, Inc., Research Division - Analyst
: Great. That's helpful. And then lastly, I'm just curious how you're thinking about the promotional environment for fourth quarter and over the
holiday, I guess, relative to last year and then also what you saw in the third quarter, which, I guess, sounded pretty tight, especially given -- for
those products that were in high demand.
