    "I don't know why you return to this home," Myrtle's mother says in the trailer. 
     
    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.

    "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.
