"Unfortunately for me, I don't have many people to help me around my shop. My wife is crippled by the left leg, but can only help me sew the clothes I make at home." Monsieur Dubin explained. "Usually Adelle helps me out, but she's currently being a selfish child right now. I understand that she wants to get married to that Baker's son, but there's no need to rush into everything."

"Was Madam Adelle the one who drew these dress designs?" Monsieur Dubin nodded. "She's a smart young lady when it comes to creating a dress, but sometimes they tend to get out of hand. The latest creation just so happened to be the one in angering me the most."

"She was inspired by a dress concept that's been appearing in London as of late." Monsieur Dubin moved some papers around to reveal a photograph of a woman wearing a wedding dress similar to the drawing. "It's called an Empire Line Dress."
