The art of the dress~

[mammas_goot_to_hyu]

Ah, it's that time of year again! The Yule ball is coming and I'm sure everyone will look beautiful! This is to the students who need some help putting their Yule ball outfit together - Mamma is more than happy to help and since everyone has been good and staying healthy, I have more than enough time to make some dresses or at least help with fixing any old ones you might have.

Feel free to ask me about any mending spells here or sharing your designs, darlings~!



(ooc: Gkika's old beer house had frequent dance numbers with various outfits and she often made the costumes for the girls herself - she knows what she's doing!))

THIS IS A LITTLE EMBARRASSING TO ASK, GKIKA, BUT DOES YOUR OFFER EXTEND TO TEACHERS AS WELL?
I SORT OF DON'T OWN A PAIR OF DRESS ROBES. I'VE NEVER REALLY HAD A NEED FOR THEM SINCE I GRADUATED.

[mammas_goot_to_hyu]

Of course, sweetheart! Come by the Hospital Wing when you have time and I will take your measurements, ja? Did you have any specific colours or styles you were interested in wearing?

[accioleggings]

HAVE I EVER TOLD YOU YOU'RE AN ANGEL? BECAUSE YOU ARE. I HAVE A FREE PERIOD AFTER MY 6TH YEAR CLASS ENDS IF YOU'RE FREE THEN.
AS FOR COLORS, SOME SHADE OF RED WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT AND I'M UNFORTUNATELY NOT VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT STYLES. THAT'S MORE DOLLY'S TERRITORY.

[mammas_goot_to_hyu]

Flatterer~

I am free then, I will be expecting you then. I will consult with Dolores on some suitable styles for you - she knows better what you'd be comfortable with after all.

i could use a lil help with my dress ms jager
my aunt sent me one but its way too big in the chesty area
and the hippy area
and the everywhere area i think she assumed i grew more than i did in 3 mnths

[mammas_goot_to_hyu]

Aunties and parents sometimes expect too much, ja. Children grow at their own pace and no faster than that.

Shrinking like that is easy enough to do! Come by after your classes, darling, and Mamma will get that dress fitted nice and fast.

[bev_rage]

hers look like theyre pretty high tbh
at least tall cause ho boy its a long dress

thank u thank u thank you!!!
uh my last class is right before dinner, it okay if i come by after?

[mammas_goot_to_hyu]

Of course it is! See if you can come before dinner so we can get accurate measurements, ja? We don't want your dress to hang funny at the ball thanks to after-eating bloat.

YoU gOt ThE kNoWiNg Of HoW tO mAkE s*** bIgGeR?

[mammas_goot_to_hyu]

You have seen me, sweetheart. Making clothes bigger is a necessity. Are your dress robes too small?

[mo_cara]

YeAh, I gUeSs I dOnE sOmE bIgGeRiNg MySeLf SiNcE lAsT yEaR.

[mammas_goot_to_hyu]

That is usually the case, ja. You want Mamma can make you some new ones?

[mo_cara]

I aLrEaDy GoT mE sOmE, aNd ThEy Be PrEtTy WiCkEd ShArP, jUsT tOo LiTtLe!

[mammas_goot_to_hyu]

If you say so~ Come around the Hospital Wing with your robes when you are free and I will adjust it for you.

[wavesofjade]

I Have Been Helping A Few People With Clothing, Myself.
However, If You Wouldnt Mind, Would You Help Me Alter A Dress?

[mammas_goot_to_hyu]

I am always happy to help, darling! Is this a student's dress or one for yourself?

[wavesofjade]

It Is One For Me!
Normally I Would Have No Difficulty Taking This Upon Myself But Time Is Running Short.

[mammas_goot_to_hyu]

Of course, of course! Bring it down, darling, and we can get it adjusted nice and quick.

Do you have a date~?

[wavesofjade]

I Will Be Along Shortly.

Ah. No.
I Had Hoped That A Certain Professor Might Ask Me.
But I Shall Have A Dance From Him One Way Or Another!

[mammas_goot_to_hyu]

Oh well then, we had better make you look RAVISHING so he cannot resist you ja? Lucky for us that won't take any effort at all.

[savviest]

I managed to leave my own dress robes back in me other trunk. I think. I got a loaner, but they're terribly drab. Got any beads or anything? Something snazzy?

How many feathers can you fit on a hat?

[mammas_goot_to_hyu]

How many feathers do you have?

Bring yourself and the clothes to the infirmary when you are free, sweetheart. I have a few 'snazzy' things we can use to spruce that dull robe up.

[savviest]

I could plurk a peacock if it promised me the MOST majestic hat at the ball.

I shall be there in an instant!

[Jack's idea of an instant is a rambling sort of dawdle, he does scamper toward the infirmary quite quickly, but it takes him some time to finally burst in with his arms full of clothes.]

I HAVE ARRIVED!

[mammas_goot_to_hyu]

We could make a mantle out of the feathers to match the hat.

[Grins when he arrives, clapping her hands.]

Velcome! [Pauses and glances over him.] But vhere iz de peacock?

[savviest]

[He holds his arms out with a laugh as if he's run a marathon and deserves applause and then gives a small bow.]

I was not aware there was a peacock on the grounds, actually. [But he's pulling his wand out of his sleeve.] Shall we find out?
