But what unfolded next was not at all what the sales associate had anticipated.
Silver sauntered over to Madge, took in her outfit, and said, "That dress is a stunner on you."
Silver had tried it on herself and thought it was decent, but it clearly suited Madge better. It wasn't just about the fit; it was more about the vibe. Silver's aura was a bit too bold, not quite as soft. Madge, on the other hand, was just right. She had a gentle appearance, a soft smile, and her eyes were soothing. It was the kind of look that couldn't possibly offend anyone.
Honestly, Silver wasn't usually drawn to women with a soft vibe, like her sister-in-law Nola or Mr. Cole in that cheongsam from the tea class last week. But Madge, unexpectedly, was quite pleasing to the eye.
The sales associate lingered nearby, hesitant to speak, while Madge, being perceptive, quickly pieced the situation together. She smiled warmly at Silver, "Really? Thank you." Gesturing to a dress next to her, she suggested, "Your figure is quite classic, and I think you'd look fabulous in this style of dress. You should give it a try..."
Silver had somewhat of an hourglass figure, with a fuller upper body and a slender waist, making dresses that highlighted her waistline more suitable. The dress she was wearing, although well-made in both cut and fabric, didn’t accentuate her figure's strengths, making her appear somewhat bulky instead.
The dress Madge suggested was also black and slimming, with a cut that emphasized the waistline and a high-waist design resembling a mermaid tail, adding a touch of ease to the seriousness of the black color. Silver decided to give it a go and was surprised to find it fit perfectly. Her reflection in the mirror even shocked her.
"Your eye for fashion is spot on. Have you studied styling or something?"
Madge shook her head, "No, but I do love flipping through fashion magazines."
"Just from looking?"
"Well, practicing on my own helps too..."
