‘That’s a shame.’
Spinning around, Evie sighed. Too late. ‘Hi, Jack.’
‘Are you taking the photos, love?’ Elsie put her hand on Jack’s forearm.
‘Yes, I am.’ Grinning, he nodded towards the dress bag she was holding. ‘I see you’ve found your dress?’
‘Yes, I have, love. Thank you for asking.’ Grinning, Elsie patted the dress bag before looking at Wendy and Teresa. ‘Right, come on, you two. Let’s get a wriggle on.’
‘I’ll come too, if that’s okay?’ Evie stepped forward.
‘Aw, stay. It’ll be a laugh, especially with Jack taking the pics.’ Diane clasped her hands in front of her. ‘Please? You don’t even have to try anything on, just stay for the laughs.’
‘No, I really can’t.’
‘Can’t or won’t?’ Jack chuckled. ‘No pressure, but Diane’s right, we normally have a fun time on these types of shoots.’
Evie looked from Diane to Jack and back again. ‘Okay, I’ll stay, but I’m not putting any of those things on.’ She waved her hand at the dresses.
‘Awesome!’
‘I’ll see you tomorrow then, Diane and Molly.’ Elsie hugged them. ‘And you later, love.’ Elsie hugged Evie’s shoulders before heading outside with Wendy and Teresa.
‘Right ladies. This way, please. The gowns you’ll be modelling are out the back.’ Savanah walked towards the back of the shop.
‘Didn’t she say other people were coming to model them, too?’ Molly whispered as they followed Savanah through a door behind the till.
‘I thought so.’ Diane shrugged.
‘Right, ladies. Take a seat and I’ll bring the dresses through.’ Savanah looked towards the door they’d just walked through. ‘Sorry, one moment. I think our other ladies have arrived.’
‘Thank goodness for that. For a moment I thought it’d just be the three of us.’ Molly sat on a chair.
‘You mean two? I’m not modelling, remember.’ Evie joined her and crossed her legs.
‘Sorry, yes, two.’
‘Hi, are you modelling too?’ Three women walked through the door. ‘I’m Pat and here are Yvette and Liza.’
‘Hi, nice to meet you. Yes, we are.’ Diane glanced quickly at Evie. ‘Two of us.’
‘Have you done this before?’ Yvette sat down next to Molly.
‘Nope. Have you?’
‘No.’ Yvette laughed. ‘I’m sure we’ll muddle through, though.’
‘Hopefully.’ Diane grimaced.
‘Here we are, ladies.’ Savanah pulled a rail packed full of gowns into the room. ‘Come and take a look. We’ll get you all dressed and then Jack will take some individual shots before some group photos. How does that sound?’
‘Sounds good. Do we get to choose what dresses we wear?’ Diane stood up.
‘Certainly. There is a broad selection in terms of style and shape, so hopefully, they’ll be something you all like.’ She glanced back at the dresses. ‘I think you’ll all get to wear two if that’s okay?’
‘Great.’ Pat and Liza approached the dresses and began searching through them.
‘Come on, let’s go and choose.’ Diane pulled Molly to standing and rushed towards the rail.
