Prudence might be many things but she is definitely not prudent! She asks you to close your store the moment she steps in. Why? Because she is worried other women in Twillford might catch The Duke’s eye by wearing your dress. She doesn’t tolerate any competition!
For her first dress she doesn’t want anything black and it should be elegant and glamorous. For her, cost is no object.
