If only we were so persuasive. And remember, we sell clothing and style here. So you need to learn as much about the styles as possible. At least to sound like you know what you are talking about.”

"I wish I knew more, but all the sartorial knowledge I have is about my two dresses, the one I have on now and my summer-dress. Maybe on a warmer day I should wear my summer dress for you to have a look at?" she suggests.

Amused or bemused?

Also, Alan Flusser is a good reference for men's fashion, but I don't know any sources I can recommend if you want to go into detail on dresses.

"I'd be happy to learn about them!" the squat little filly exclaims.

"Well you're just a little gumdrop of joy" she says, and returns to her seat.

Guy returns after ringing up the sale. And they are ready for more customers. The next one is a stallion (colt?) looking for a coat for... it's hard to say exactly.

"Why would–" she starts to question, but remembers that's not how you sell clothes. The few pictures of mobsters she's seen fit with their descriptions in books, which would be sharply-dressed yet fierce-looking ponies, wearing a suit or a vest and always a fedora. As for army officers, if the store does carry uniforms the legality of selling them to anypony might be doubtful, so she elects the mobster look.

"Right this way…" she says to him, bemused as to why he would ask for that type of look.

He looks at a coat, and points it out. It has big buttons, is made of wool, and is a shade of black. Or grey I guess, it’s very dark.

The coat is decidedly more expensive. The coat would look better as the sole item of apparel on the colt, but frankly, Amber’s earlier assessment that a fedora is an essential part of the outfit was accurate.

Amber can't help but feel sorry for the colt, who's only trying to look his best, though his standard of style is odd in her opinion. It'll be a long time most likely before she can own something from this store.

Guy looks at Amber, frowns and rolls his eyes, and says “you know what, let’s do it now.”

He says to take the measuring tape, and wrap it around portions of the colt’s shoulders, upper forelegs, chest, the withers, and even the neck. And every actual measurement has to be written down, of course.

This displeases the colt.

Guy agrees. The final result of the measurements, is that a particular vest in the back would approximate his size, but it could be slightly adjusted for a better fit.

High Sewn goes back with the measurements and a vest.

He goes to the desk to pay for it. He empties out his entire wallet, then takes off his shoes to pull out more money. Two shoes. It isn’t hard to see why. It’s a decent amount of money to walk around the city with.

Anyway, you can't be too careful these days. Amber takes the time to type out a receipt and gives it to him, telling him to hold onto it. She genuinely hopes the vest will satisfy him. No wonder most ponies go naked; clothes are expensive.

Hey it’s canon. I think. I’m pretty sure it’s canon.

It’s a good thing Amber will never be taken to a dance to show off herself and her colt. Nope. Never.
