Analyze

This Tailor Order Book will allow you to customize simple garments without the assistance of a live alterer.

You can OPEN the book to begin an order, TURN or FLIP through the pages, WRITE your preferred design for each selection, and REDEEM the book to complete your order.  CLOSE the book to cancel your order.  PROD the book to toggle between "some" and "a pair of" for plural items.  If you are stumped for ideas, give the book a PONDER.

If you have your own preferred color, POUR your dye on the book when it is open to the color selection page.
You may TWIST a gemstone on the book for a special color related to that gemstone.  This is the same pool of colors as the Person of Honor items.
You may DROP a gemstone or an item that inspects as a special material to have that property imparted to the alteration.
The item, gemstone, or dose of dye is consumed and cannot be returned.  Not all descriptions will work with all materials and colors.

The order book can be used 2 times on non-Espousal items before the start of your wedding.  The book will be discarded after that time.

Use of this order book is restricted to you.
