The tailor began to take my measurements in great detail; arms, shoulders, chest, waist, the length from shoulder to waist both front and back, and when she took my hip measurement, she asked if I was wearing padded underwear. “Pelenka.” my Aunt replied.
“Oh.” the tailor said, before asking my Aunt something in their native tongue.
I felt myself blush when my aunt explained (in English) that I only wear a nappy for bed, usually. She told her why I’m wearing one now and informed the tailor that no additional room needed to be added to the cut of my trousers since I’ll be wearing knickers.
