This is my attempt at Table C from the Drabbleday community on LiveJournal. I took the 7 day challenge which involved writing a drabble a day for the full week based on the prompts given. I chose to write for the Pride and Prejudice fandom, with the pairing of Lizzy and Darcy. Each chapter is a different drabble.
A drabble is 100 words normally, however as this was my first attempt at the drabble form, I tend to overstep the word limit.

Elizabeth studied the fabric closely. It was the finest she had ever seen – delicate and soft, embroidered with the most detailed pattern. She could only imagine what fine dresses could be made with such a fabric. She surveyed the dressmaker's shop. Other beautiful fabrics were displayed along with assortments of ribbon, delicate lace and luxurious velvet. The seamstress smiled kindly at her, as Elizabeth thought deeply about what to do next. She knew it was expensive, but she had fallen in love with it. She did not want to be too lavish with her allowance though.
"That fabric, if you please." She heard a familiar voice call behind her. She turned to see her husband smiling at her knowingly as she was whisked off to be measured for her new dress, and be quizzed on the details of the style of gown. She smiled back, embarrassed but pleased. With Mr Darcy, price was not a problem.
