Re: Clothes Rails
Sibyl couldn't pass this up. She just couldn't.
Most fabrics she worked on professionally were rather older than this, but she just couldn't pass up a shop full of historic fashion.
Not to buy things for herself (she mostly dressed practically for work, or made her own clothes because she wanted them just so, and not what Lane Bryant thought should be fashion this year), simply browse, compare, maybe buy a few accessories.
And she might have had access to 'grey' museum funds in case she found something she thought belonged there.
