Ha ha. Nothing that exciting. I'm in fashion. Kind of.

Kind of? Tell me more. Just so you know, my idea of fashion is trousers that aren't covered in dog hair.

I'm more of a glorified seamstress. Have a small business repurposing wedding dresses.

Sorry. That was rude. I'm a dick. It sounds cool. And e-friendly.

Feel free to take the piss! I do it all the time. Hmm. Shrouds. Hadn't thought of that. Could start a new line: "Till death us do part."
I repurpose them into whatever the client wants. "Give the most expensive dress you ever bought a new lease of life" kind of thing. Get a lot of divorcees actually.

Aha. A "fuck you ex-husband/wife" dress?

She can't make up her mind. Been back 3 times. "I've been thinking, can it be asymmetrical? With a peplum? With a jacket maybe? Can we do it in black? No, scratch that, peach?"
Listen to me, whingeing to a stranger. I sound like a total cow. She's got every right to be fussy. She's the one paying.

It's easier to whinge to a stranger and you've already listened to me going on about my own shitty client. Hold on. BRB.

Sorry had to let the dog out. When she needs to go she needs
