Christine was awoken much earlier than normal as the appointment for her fitting had been moved up. She was rushed through bathing and dressing in the undergarments that had been selected for the style of dress she was to be wearing on her wedding day before being ushered into her parlor, a dressing gown tightly fastened to conceal her modesty while waiting outside of her bedchambers. She attempted to suppress a yawn but the attempt was an utter failure as she was pulled into another yawn a moment later. Her mother entered, escorting the dressmaker inside.
“Here she is!” She beamed, always so excited with anything that dealt with the upcoming wedding. Her mother narrowed her eyes at her daughter’s yawning face but she focused her attention on making sure the dressmaker had what she needed before leaving them alone. She had other matters to attend to in town and would be gone for most of the day. Christine expressed relief in her mother’s departure, her shoulders visibly dropping as her body relaxed. “Shall we beginning, Lady Christine?” The dressmaker asked and Christine rose from her chaise and over towards a small pedestal.
“Actually, I need just one more moment” She moved to the desk and scrawled on a bit of parchment before sealing it with her family’s insignia. She summoned a servant and handed them the parchment. “Will you please deliver this to Doctor Morris?” She asked politely. The servant gave a nod before taking off and she turned back to the dressmaker. “Let us begin”
Hours passed and yet Christine was still standing, draped in her wedding gown, atop a pedestal while the hem was continuously adjusted below. She was given just a few glasses of water but kept from eating anything on her mother’s orders so as not to bloat and cause the dress to have to be let out. Her stomach grumbled painfully and she hoped the dressmaker would be finished soon. She heard the doors open to her parlor and was told that Doctor Morris had arrived at her request. She gave the announcer a nod to have him shown in.
