    That's one.  Now find the other (of is there another one?) ...
I hope this misspelling did not significantly affect your comprehension. 

The story continues:

    Years later on the Royal Nighttime Talk Show, the Royal Johnny asked the 
Taylor (now the Prince) how he successfully designed and fabricated the Gown
to suit the Princess for many years to come in only ten days.  This is what he
had to say:

    "I used Velcro for the secure attachment of the different parts of the
Gown to the bodice, and Danskin for the bodice to ensure a nice, tight and
flexible fit.  All in all it was designed to adapt to the wear and tear and
the changing needs of its wearer."
    "The rest of the design? ... oh well, I left that up to the King and his
daughter.  After all, who am I to second guess the needs of the user?"
