Arddra was a bit confused at how upset Casa was over what, to her, was just a normal everyday kind of thing. Fortunately she didn't laugh or do anything which may upset Casa further.
"I have to admit you are probably the first young woman I have met who really has no interest in new clothing," Arddra smiled, remembering Gathers where some of her friends would go into right hysterics at the sight of a finely made dress or lovely bolt of cloth. Arddra enjoyed a pretty dress as much as any typical girl but her time here in Katila taught her that pretty dresses weren't all that practical.
"I am quite confident you can dress yourself, Casa," Arddra assured her with a hand on her shoulder. "You are dressed now even if your clothing is warn. I am surprised it still fits if it's been two turns since you had new clothing. I will help you choose some good practical clothing."
Arddra took a guess at her size then moved to where the appropriate sizes were stored. "The clothing here is grouped by size, roughly. Most of the adult female clothing are here, but you aren't all that tall so I think this section would be closer to your size. I would pick the young women section but given you don't like dresses or skirts, we can check for trousers in the boys area. They are longer in leg most likely but it won't take much to hem them so they fit perfectly. I can do that for you too."
Leading the way to another section Arddra selected a pair of trousers she hoped will fit Casa. Turning she handed them to her. "Quickly give them a try, I will shield you should anybody come in."
"Do you prefer boy's shirts as well or will a simple blouse be acceptable?" Arddra inquired while Casa tried on the trousers. "Dresses and skirts aren't a horrible thing but I do agree with chores and future dragonriding, they aren't all that practical for everyday things. It is always nice to have a skirt or dress to impress somebody or Gather days. But I won't force you to pick one if you really don't want to be in a dress or skirt."
