Her hand closed around Adi's and Fiona relaxed some, she was trying too hard, she knew that, but it was also just the eager delight of having someone who might be interested in sewing and creating like she did.<em>Elegance, elegance and fantasy, that's who you are, how you put people at ease, don't come on too strong now Fi...</em>she chastened herself mentally even as she smiled at Adi and walked with him through the sunlight garden, nodding at his words. It made her sad that others weren't friendly to him, she was part of that, often lingering on the outsides of gatherings unless Lessard was around and he wasn't much one for group involvement.<br/><br/>"Well, forgive me then for not having been friendly sooner." Her expression then was softer, a touch of sorrow in the warm welcome she tried to give him with both her words and body language. His question drew a brighter smile back to her lips, happy to talk about something she so loved.<br/><br/>"For the measurements it really depends on on the garment usually, but I like to get full measurements of the whole body on whoever I'm working with. You measure just about everything really. The length of a leg, the length of the ideal trousers say from ones hip bone to ankle, the width of the leg, and depending on the style, how it tapers. Men's clothing is somewhat more of a exact art then women's, because it is closer to the skin and has less layers involved. Certainly no layers upon layers of petticoats to fret about." She swayed her hips to get the delicate rustle of said silk petticoats beneath her skirt.
