Here we see a young woman being fitted in her new dress at the tailor. Her dress is definitely the latest fashion during this era as indicated by its very large 7ft diameter! With a dress like that she will definitely be the talk of the neighborhood!!!!

It's interesting to note the dress that the tailor is wearing. Though it's hard to see behind the massive skirt she is working on, she is wearing a skirt that is only 3 ft wide! How strange you you may think, skirts that small have been out of fashion for more than 100 years! Most women would be humiliated to be seen in a skirt that small. However this is a special circumstance. This is a work outfit that she wears only because it would be nearly impossible to hem such a large dress while wearing an equally large skirt herself!

Skirts that small would only be worn in situations like this and she would change into a more properly sized skirt as soon as she Is finished with the adjustments. In fact she will probably be back in a dress not much smaller than her clients before she leaves the store with her new dress!
