"Maybe?" Mari chuckled. "In the end though, it is your dress, and your decision. I personally would have chosen a dark shade for the sleeves, but that is my personal style. And I've been told a lady must find her signature style if she wants to stand out."

Concerned, the young woman turned back to the shelves and found another bolt. This one was lighter, in both colour and weave, a reddish brown similar to the bay coat of a horse or hound. She removed the darker drape, and instead placed the chiffon over the auburn silk.

"Thank you," she said to the seamstress. She pondered the two back and forth for a moment.

"Hmm. I'll try it with the dark sleeves. I do want to try out new fashions," she nodded seeming to have settled her mind on it, "If I like it a dress like this would be pretty distinct back in the Vale anyways." She gave a smirk.

"I would love to see some more of these Vale-dresses of yours," Mari said thoughtfully. "To see how they compare with my own."

"But, I am glad you have found your choice! See, that wasn't so bad now, was it?" the Tremaine girl teased with a warm tone.

With a smile, the seamstress folded the rejected bolt and returned it to the shelves. Indicating to the auburn, "this for the dress, and this for the sleeves?" she pointed to the burgundy. "I will need to take your measurements."

"I can show you later if you'd like," Lily said cheerfully, "And you can bring your own. It could be fun."

"Yes, that shall do," she nodded to Leesa

She giggled at the tease. "It wasn't too bad." She chuckled, "Ah, now for the real work. Standing still."

She turned back to Leesa, "Do you need me to undress?"

The girl pulled a curtain from the wall, screening off the back corner and indicated for Liliane to step onto the low, wide stool there. "Please, just the outer dress will be fine, thank you, do you require assistance?" Most noblewomen had handmaidens for lacing and fastening and whatnot, and found it simpler to have someone undo their dresses for them; most, but not all, of course.

Liliane moved towards the stool. "I should be fine until I have this off," she said beginning to work at the lacings on the front of her corset, "A little help with my back would be gladly taken then."

Smiling politely, Leesa moved to assist, helping Liliane step out of the gown and hanging it carefully so as not to crush or pull the fabric. With a length of tape, she moved around the noble lady, expertly making measurements, noting them on a piece of paper with a paper-wrapped stick of charcoal. There seemed to be a considerable number of them to be made.

Liliane looked at Mari as the measuring began. "This looks like it might take a moment. Perhaps you can tell me a bit of where you are from to pass the time?" She was helpful and stayed in a fairly neutral poise for ease of taking measurements but it was clear she found doing so boring.
