This is a room help file.

In this shop, you can order an evening gown made up to one of eight patterns, choosing the main colour from the bolts of that

material which Gerard de Wendelle has available. A catalogue on the counter lists the styles, their main material and their

price. Eight mannequins stand around the room, displaying a sample dress in each of the styles.

You cannot select the material for the gown, as that is specified by the style; nor can you choose a secondary colour for it,

Gerard being far too fussy to allow anyone but himself to make such a fine artistic decision.

If Gerard has enough scraps of material left over, you might score a matching accessory. The nature of this will be dictated

by the shape and material of the remnants, and remains entirely at his discretion.

This is a regal honey-coloured evening dress.

It looks like:

Exquisitely feminine and luxurious, this creation in satin and velvet would

turn any woman into a stately queen for the evening. It is cut from

honey-coloured satin, which is gathered to a flatteringly narrow waist and

sweeps out into a full yet elegant skirt, trimmed with wine red velvet. The

same velvet dominates the tiny, neat bodice, with rich-looking puffed sleeves,

a broad waistband and tidy ruffles at the neck.
