Julie starts a small dressmaking business to supplement the meager income that her husband, construction worker Frank, brings home. However, the business becomes very successful and grows until it consumes most of Julie’s time. When Julie sees Frank dining with one of her models because he’s lonely and tired of eating by himself, she realizes her marriage is at risk. She sells her business and reconciles with Frank, and soon has a baby to occupy her time.
