A *character shop*= a boutique shop?

I am in for the night=I am going to not do anything else?

Buy an item that fit the fullest parts of your body, and the tailor can *nip* the rest.=Does that include cutting a part off or just tuck it in and sew?


Thanks

Never heard of that. What's the context?

Basically, yes. You are home and you are not going out again that evening.

Nip = small cut. So the tailor would cut off the extra and sew it to fit.
