This busy guild has over six hundred members, who
import some cloth and other supplies (such as thread),
and use much of what other Waterdhavian Guilds make
(such as leather, textiles, carved and cast buttons, and
needles) to make clothing—literally tons of clothing, of all
sizes and fashions, from high-society ladies’ party masks
to the leather breeches of a smith or dock-worker. Every
Guild member has his or her own specialty (such as
gloves or gowns), and prices, speed of work, and durability
vary widely. The guild serves mainly to save its members
money by importing needed supplies in bulk.
