In Fabric

Sheila Woodchapel is a recently divorced bank teller who lives with her son Vince. She is frequently chastised for insignificant work errors by her bosses Stash and Clive and intimidated by Vince's new girlfriend Gwen. She visits department store Dentley and Soper's to buy a dress for an upcoming date in the sales. After meeting the enigmatic store clerk Miss Luckmoore, Sheila is drawn to a beautiful, flowing red dress which she tries on. Despite her initial apprehension, Luckmoore convinces Sheila to purchase it. While Sheila is on her less than successful date, Luckmoore partakes in strange rituals with the store mannequins and takes a dumbwaiter deep into the store.
