JONES ON A DRESSMAKER
Good afternoon. I have been recommended to you by a friend who tells me that you are an excellent dressmaker. My name is mrs. Jones. Thank you! Wont you come in !lease" Ill sit down if you dont mind. I had to walk some distance to find your !lace. #oolishly I had $otted down your address incorrectly. %ow unfortunate! I have brou&ht material for two dresses which I want you to make for me. I do ho!e you can do them ri&ht away. I also brou&ht one or two thin&s I want you to fix for me. 'dressmaker lookin& at dresses( Im afraid that I am too busy to make any dresses for you. Its close to the holidays and it seems that every one of my customers needs a new dress at this !articular season. Ill be &lad to do any minor alternation for you. %eavens! What shall I do" ) havent a decent thin& to wear. *erha!s you can buy somethin& ready+made and let the dresses &o untul after the holidays. They have some very !retty dresses in the stores now. ,eady+made dresses are $ust a waste of money for me. -y the time they finish alterin& them to suit me they no lon&er have any style and very often the whole dress is com!letely ruined. It seems that I am too broad in the hi!s and too narrow in other !lace for them to fit me correctly. I su!!ose it really is difficult for a stout !erson. I know that I should reduce . but its so difficult. Ive tried everythin& but I seem to &et fatter every day instead of thinner. I !resume you have ex!erimented with diets. I am on diet now. -ut Im not !romisin& anyone thet Im &oin& to stay on it. The trouble is that every time a doctor &ives me a diet it is a diet of thin&s I dont like to eat. Why cant they ever &ive me a diet of thin&s I en$oy eatin&" /ife is com!licated. I sometimes feel like famous writer who said that everythin& he seemed to en$oy was either ille&al ommoral or fattenin&. What was the dress you wanted me to fix for you Mrs. Jones" Would you care to sli! it on"
'Mrs. Jones !ut on dress( this is a dress thats &otten too ti&ht for me. 0o you think you can let it out a little" I believe so. I can o!en the seams. Its also alittle ti&ht throu&h the back and shoulder but I dont su!!ose you can do anythin& about that. I can chan&e the neckline. I can cut it lower and in that way &ive you a little more fullness in the blouse. Instead of buttons down the front you would have a 1 neckline. I could even &ive you a round neckline if you !refer.
2ither one will be all ri&ht. -efore you take the dress off Mrs. Jones let me mark the hemline. It han&s a little low in the back. I also want you to move the buttons on this blouse with I have brou&ht alon&. The blouse is also ti&ht for me but I believe thet all it needs is to move the buttons over a half onch or so.
Its a lovely blouse. 0id you &et it here in 3ew 4ork". The embroidery work on it is beautiful. 5 friend of mine brou&ht it to me from Italy last summer. Its all handmade. 6he also brou&ht me another that has new full ra&lan sleeves that I like very much. Im very fond of !retty blouses. -louses are one of the few thin&s that seem to look well on me. What a !roblem it is for fat !eo!le like me to dress well!
