Nonsense! There is no such thing as an unbecoming young lady.

As for the color…why, blue of course! Blue taffeta.
Sheila:
A blue bonnet……Ahhh! I have the perfect one. Decorated with white wings!

Sheila:
Well, now. You can be captivating. Wearing blue, you come to life!
Jane:

Sheila:
Now, leave everything to me. First of all…
