G3 Clotho’s Clothes

A tiny bell above the door announces your entry, but the gnomish proprietor ignores you and stares through her glass counter at the polished gems and jewelry, which light up her face. Several display cases shine throughout the perfumed shop, glinting amid long racks bearing elegant, expensive-looking outfits. An elderly elven customer silently appraises your attire before turning back to a fashionably-dressed mannequin. This store in the gnomish quarter is filled with every manner of clothing. All sizes are represented here from gnomish (50% of his stock) to human, elvish, halfling and even dwarven fits. Although most of his garments are of high quality, for the upper-class, he also has some lowend (Peasant’s outfits) items as well. This building has clothing shelves and racks that fill two floors.
