Alice looked around the shop.  There were a few mannequins which displayed different styles of clothing, mostly simple yet elegant pieces.  Alice had seen shops like this on TV but she never imaged she would be in one.  It took her a moment to realize that Azure was speaking to her and she was not sure what to tell the seamstress.  A wardrobe seemed...intimidating.  And it meant that Emlyn likely believed she would be here for more than just a few days.  He had said as much, but now she felt the force of that reality setting in.  "It's difficult to describe, I've not really seen much of the fashion here.  I think I like the aesthetic of your shop.  Soft elegance, clean lines, a vintage feel."<br/><br/>Azure narrowed her gaze slightly as Alice said the word "Vintage" and her head tilted to the side in a way that confirmed to Alice it may not have been an often used word here, if a word at all.  Azure's neck straightened and she pulled Emlyn gently behind the privacy wall, out of sight of Emlyn.  The feline woman wore a measuring tape around her shoulders and she continued to scrutinize Alice's form as they were now behind the privacy wall.  "You'll have to remove the cloak.  I promise you, it will only take me a few minutes to get your measurements.  Then we will start with something simple, so you can feel comfortable in it while I get a better look at you."  Azure smiled.  At first, Alice had been completely unable to discern what age the woman might be, but this close up she could tell she was likely older and wise.  At least, wise enough to know that Alice was still scared and unsure of her surroundings.  Slowly, she pulled the cloak from her shoulders and Azure immediately stretched out a hand to take it.   She folded it carefully and set it on a small stool next to her.<br/><br/>"You have a lovely figure, tell me, do you like gowns?" Azure asked.<br/><br/>"I've been known to wear a dress now and then," Alice smiled, a little uncomfortable but attempting to take the compliment with grace.<br/><br/>"Oh, more than a dress.  I haven't gotten to design a gown in years, you'll have at least two in your wardrobe when I'm done.  Now, for the measurements."  Azure pulled her measuring tape free and began to reach around Alice's body, measuring her hips, waist, bust, inseams.  Alice noticed that the woman did not write anything down, but that the measuring tape seemed to shimmer a little each time she finished a measurement.  When she was done, Alice began to reach for the cloak, but Azure clicked her tongue.<br/><br/>"Usually I prefer my sewing wands for more complicated garments, but I believe I can dress you with the measuring tape for now.  Hold perfectly still, my dear."  Azure made a circle with the tape and held it with both hands over Alice's head.  As she lowered it Alice felt the sudden touch of fabric against her skin.  By the time Azure had lowered the circle to the floor, Alice was fully dressed.  She now wore a sophisticated looking black sweater, which hugged her form just tight enough to accentuate her curves, a pair of crisp navy-blue pants which tucked neatly into knee-high black boots.  The underwear, though hidden, felt decidedly delicate and lacy on her body, but still supportive.  Overall, the fabrics of the clothing felt expensive and luxurious.<br/><br/>"Classic yet feminine, I think, yes?"  Azure said, looking up at Alice with a smile.  Alice nodded fervently back and ended up hugging her own form as she stepped out from the privacy wall to show Emlyn.  Azure quickly followed, smiling widely at him yet still looking for a nod of approval from her patron.<br/><br/>"I think we'll do a few gowns, several dresses, a few casual outfits and some lovely bits of lingerie."  The steamstress excitedly clasped her hands together.  "Pieces that will no doubt compliment your own sense of style, Mr. Cyncad."
