The tailor and thedressmaker
This morning I've been to my tailors to order a new suit: coat, waistcoat and trousers. I should have liked to order a new overcoat as well, as my old one is nearly worn out, but just now I can’t afford it. I shall have to wait till next year for that. But I might get a raincoat later on.
My tailor always has an excellent stock of materials to choose from, and I think I've chosen what’ll be the most suitable for my purpose. I've had my measurements taken and I'm going again in a fortnight's time for the first fitting.
After I've tried the suit on; the tailor will probably find it necessary to make a few alterations, and he'll mark the places for pockets, buttons and buttonholes. Then he'll ask me to return later on for a final fitting, just to make sure that the suit fits really well. When the suits ready, I shall pay for it and get a receipt.
My wife has also been buying some new clothes this week. She's bought herself a fur coat and a ready-made suit, that's to say, a coat and skirt. She’s been trying to find a silk blouse to match, so far without success. But when she went to the milliners, she did succeed in getting just the right hat, in the very latest fashion, or so she says. It would seem that the one she bought three weeks ago is already out of date.
