Fabric is meant to be handled before it's purchased and worn! If Alex notices what Delia's doing, he doesn't mention it, because it's not a crime in his book. She wants to check everything out before she buys? The tailor is all for it!

"I thought the pattern would go nicely on a new shirt for you," he informs her as he tucks the bolt under one arm and offers her the other. "A lovely, billowy blouse for spring that flows with all of your natural movements." All of which are very well placed, if Alex were to say so out loud. He'll refrain for now, if only for the chance to make not of it at a better time in a bit.

"Now for your pants, I think we should try something a little different. A complimentary brown that inches toward olive would still play off of your skin tone wonderfully while adding a new element to your wardrobe." He grins as he points to a bolt of linen fabric on a nearby table that fits the bill. "Like this, perhaps?"
