"Nah, but think of it like goin' to the post office in a full-on tutu. Long as you like it, that's great, but it don't mean people won't have thoughts." Which is, again, only a problem if that's something you care about, but there are better options. "Besides, it's dumb as hell to cut up lace and chiffon, and you're gonna have some trouble hackin' a corset into anythin' usable. You know how to sew, or do you specialize in the 5 Minute Crafts school of design?"
There are options, in this world. Abby will need to work, like most of them, but there are universities, apprenticeships. Many of the Summoned who have been in Abraxas for a long time have forged new lives that they never would have thought to do back home.
"Weird shit is the name of the game." With a smirk, Julie pats Abby's shoulders before she grabs a final blouse, green lace, and tilts her head toward the back of the shop. "C'mon, we'll get everythin' fitted and then I'll take you to the Sarstina."
The shopkeep emerges from behind the counter with a leather case; when she opens it, several palm-sized robots fly out of it, all bearing various sewing tools. New Magic, which Julie doesn't really care for, but the little spelled gadgets do tend to make quick work of their tasks.
Taking a seat on a chaise, she chuckles. "Should be movin' to a bigger place soon, too. There's just... a lot that's been goin' on, so it's kinda hard to search for real estate. My friends and I control the cannabis game in Cadens now, so we need a good greenhouse."
