"I am not too surprised you are more comfortable changing infront of others," Arddra said, smiling to make sure Casa didn't take it as a criticism. "Remember I am Holdbred and raised and it would be considered quite improper for a woman to change in front of others but between sisters or mother and daughter it's not as frowned upon. Things in the Weyr are more lax, I have learned that over the last several turns."
Arddra didn't know Mizeath too well and she wasn't really close to any of the current goldriders. It wasn't through any fault of theirs but more her habit of keeping people at a distance. She really was starting to relax around certain people over the last half turn. Letting go of the past was a big part of it. She really should make an effort however, to get to know the other goldriders. Soon she may be one of them.
"Don't worry I won't be telling Mizeath anything. She sounds like a real Lady, like a Lord Holder's daughter. I am far from a Lady of that caliber. I will leave it up to her to teach you how to be that kind of Lady and focus on helping you feel comfortable and beautiful in feminine clothing." Arddra smiled at Casa as she appeared from behind the screen. She was quite pleased the did get the size right for Casa's slimmer hips and the length was perfect.
"It looks quite good on you and it looks like you put it on perfectly too. However, when you sit there's a little trick. Let me demonstrate." Arddra stood up then just before sitting down again she ran both hands from about mid thigh to her knees to smooth out the skirt before sitting down. "The idea is to keep the skirt from bunching up and being uncomfortable. Ladies also sit with their knees together. Feet should be flat on the floor and next to each other but I enjoy stretching my legs out but I cross my feet at the ankle." Arddra demonstrated as she talked.
"How does the skirt feel to you?" Arddra asked. "I hemmed it a little shorter than typical, should make it easier to wear in your more active times. It still isn't the best suited for climbing trees or the like but good for standard chores. For more dirty chores I would recommend the dark brown skirt I picked out for you the other day. Less likely to show the dirt than this one here. The light colors are cooler in the sun however."
