Excuse me? Do you have this in a size 14?

Mrs
Oh dear, it's just a bit too tight.

I think we have a size 14 in red.
assistant:
Mrs
Oh no. Red's just not my colour.

Shop It's not bright red, it's a nice dark red. Here it is. Why don't you
assistant: try it on? There's a changing room free over there.
Later...
Mrs
It fits like a glove. What do you think Lucy?
