You find yourself intrigued at the name of the unique studio. You push through the door, to the soft ringing of a pleasant little bell. The chimes seem to welcome you into the friendly, if over stocked shop, just as much as announce your presence.

The work is quite incredible to have been done by hand, or... perhaps magic? And much of it reminds you of clothing and styles from back home. In fact, very few of the articles of clothing look native to the Romanesk world you've just come from.

You come across corsets and garters, dresses and coats, skirts and slacks, robes and hairnets, veils and cowls. They are all very beautiful, but nothing for a man. You find yourself a bit embarrassed for coming into a women's apparel store and consider leaving, but before you do...
