376-386

376. Especially if it's also in the wash with her linen underdress

377. Most especially if it then creates a spotted underdress, an overdress that is now too short and too small around, and makes her wool hood small enough for their 4 year old daughter... Oh, and these were the only wool clothes she possessed...
