The document describes a conversation between a customer and a sales assistant at a store. The customer is looking for a dress to wear to their prom and asks the assistant's opinion on some dresses. One dress is too expensive, so the customer asks if there is anything cheaper. The assistant shows them a less expensive option that fits well, and offers to alter the length if desired. The alteration would be ready the next day.
