[ Merlin's information on the BBS was helpful enough to get her started on making a post, but for the most part Gwen is still struggling. Sure, the keys and characters are much more legible than script, but finding the right one in the rows took her quite some time. After writing it up she longed for quill and parchment. ]

Hello Garden Dwellers,

I am having an issue with my standard Garden cadet uniform. I am not at all fond of the cut and location of the hem.

[ Translation: her medieval sensibilities make showing her legs not an option! ]

I am, however, quite adept at sewing. If anyone knows where I might obtain fabric, needle, thread and perhaps some beading I would be in your debt. If anyone is interested in a dress or anything else please do not hesitate to let me know.

Sincerely,
Guinevere

The hems are always long. [ Gwen can't emphasize the enough. Medieval sensibilities die hard. ] Noble women don't wear the typical linen, but beautiful silk dresses embellished with gold embroidery or lace. I seldom wore anything so lovely.

Ooh, that sounds nice. [The silk and embroidery, at least. Sharpay may be allergic to long hems.] You're not used to working with any other kinds of fabric, then?

Actually I worked with all different types of materials quite often in my employ. Thre may be some here I'm unfamiliar with but I'm sure I can make do.

Great! Just wanted to make sure; I've had tailors ruin some of my clothes because they hadn't worked with the fabric before.

I'm thinking light blue, maybe with some embroidery? Long sleeves, just above the knee. I'll send through my measurements. [Yes, Sharpay keeps them on hand, and updated... She sends them in a follow up PM.]

How much will I owe you?

I'll let you know if I run into any trouble.

Any amount you find fitting for a similar dress here should be sufficient. I'm not familiar with prices, I'm afraid.

[ At this point Gwen was just looking for something to occupy her newfound freetime, though having some spending money was never a bad thing. ]
