    Not only her mother, but also other inhabitants in the town are not happy about her return.
     
    "She's back! The murderer is back," one of the neighbours yells. It turns out that Myrtle is not as bad as people think about her. She makes changes to her environment with her sense of fashion. 
     
    She transforms a nerd girl into a stunning girl by making her a fabulous dress which makes the girl become the centre of attention in a party. 
     
    "I can make you the most striking girl in the room," Myrtle says. 
     
    Following the party, many other women ask Myrtle to make them beautiful dresses.
