Her hair is cut by a woman brought in four times a year and
who speaks fluent Russian. Sage requests a tutor to educate her in the language
so she may converse more with her hair dresses, as she like the dark sound of
the language.
A seamstress is brought every season, to take measurements
and draw sketches, the clothes shipped to them two weeks later. Every few
months Sage finds her wardrobe near to bursting. For those few garments she
treasure from trips elsewhere, costumes from the Parisian ballet, gowns from
boutiques in New York, a tailor is called to add a second skirt and length to
the hem, or re-stitch the waist or add more sleeve. The outfits are kept just a
year longer.
