1830s ferengi are my new artblock unstopper. as IF the ladies would let ferengi males take over the trade of millinery and fashionable accessories!

I like to believe that lady ferengis comprise a class of competent and sometimes ruthless merchants and milliners, as well as very discerning consumers of finished products. fashionable suppliers in all quadrants brag about the quantity and loyalty of their ferengi customers (since they'll ruthlessly drop anyone they think is offering subpar goods.) ferengi fashion isn't particularly popular outside ferengar, but if you need any kind of trim, fabric or tchotchke, it's best to get a ferengi female's advice. They know all the best deals, but they may charge a finder's fee.

as for tailors? oh, the best come from cardassia. if you only know the planet for its monocultural militarism and you're surprised to hear it, you clearly haven't seen a gul in full uniform! their structured bodices (don't call them that to their faces - they're breastplates) are architectural masterpieces. If a ferengi brings out your best qualities, a cardassian will invent ones that don't exist - boning, interfacing, padding, buckram, lacing, until you're the perfect inverted starfleet insignia shaped model of a modern lizard general, complete with a coquettish flash of neck. They generally work via flat-patterning, lots heavy duty construction and mathematics. of course your cardassian tailor will do their best to drape your bias cut slip, but they may call a hit on you after wrestling with your risian silk charmeuse...
