This quote humorously suggests that a woman's priority should be her appearance, specifically her relationship with her dressmaker. It playfully challenges societal expectations and stereotypes surrounding femininity and suggests that women often find themselves consumed by fashion and their external appearance. The second duty being undetermined illustrates the perceived lack of importance or clarity regarding other responsibilities or roles assigned to women, highlighting the limited societal expectations placed upon them beyond their physical representation.
