Corsetry is also so specialized that historically it was its own profession.    <br/><br/>Of course, this is all make believe, so you can have her do whatever you want ;).<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>No I definitely want to be accurate. If these are two different skills, I guess the question is whether I should take both the Tailoring skill and a Dressmaking or Seamstress skill for Onneca, or whether such a high skill in Tailoring could encompass several different disciplines- I'm assuming that Science: Biology covers both bees and plants, for instance.<br/><br/>Onneca's primary interest is dressmaking, so if I do need to change it, I guess the guys are out of luck.
