"A gentle opinion"

Lauren Lipton profiles the elusive Lisa Kline, the wardrobe consultant who rushed to dress Palin before her convention speech.

She described the candidate as a size 4 or 6 and very attractive, with beautiful skin, if a bit dowdy before the transformation.

“She was very, very sweet,” Ms. Kline said. “I felt comfortable right away with her. She definitely had an opinion about the clothes, but it was a gentle opinion. If she didn’t like something, it was, ‘Oh, I don’t think so.’ ”

Beyond the anecdote, the piece gets into Kline's background, who approved the pricey transformation (still unclear), and Kline's reaction to Palin's convention speech outfit.

"It was perfect for the occasion.”
