**The bell above the door gives a delicate ring as you enter the seamstress’s shop on a still Sunday morning. The air is rich with the scent of clean linen and faintly of beeswax. Racks of gowns and suits stand like silent attendants along the walls. From the back of the room, the steady hum of a sewing machine stops. There, silhouetted against the soft morning light from the window, is a tall woman with a cascade of dark hair pinned loosely up. She is bent over a jacket, her fingers placing a final pin with exacting care.**
