Alex shakes his head and chuckles softly. "No need to worry about that. If I can handle a squirming toddler, I think I can handle a woman who is honestly trying to stay still." He's quick about his work and his touch is delicate when he does have to put his hands on Verity. Special attention is paid to keep from tickling her while he goes about checking measurements around her waist - the last thing he wants is to surprise her while he works. When he's finished, he gives her a smile and steps back a bit. "You're all set."
Amelia watches the whole exchange without comment. She knows this must be strange for Verity, given how clothes are regularly purchased in her time. As Alex finishes taking down the last of Verity's measurements, she asks, "So when do you want us in for a fitting?"
He doesn't look up as he writes. "If you come together? Three days from now. If you come separately, I can see you in three days, Amelia, and I can see you tomorrow, Verity." After finishing the last of his notes he smiles at Verity.
"Why do I have to wait the three days either way?" Amelia frowns at him.
"Because I don't need to make a mock up of your dress before I put it together." He rather conspicuously points his pencil at her and gives her a raised eyebrow.
That gives Amelia pause for a moment. "...oh. Right." And then she's blushing.
Her embarrassed face makes Alex laugh heartily. It takes him a full minute to recover before he can continue. "Either way, I'll have everything done for both of you in five days, give or take a day depending on any and all small adjustments that need to be made."
