Question

Then her large hands were at my neck, opening the button loops. I was terrified. What was happening?

"Take it off, Sister." She had her hands on the hem of the dress.
"I don't need to see the inside, Mrs. Henderson, I can tell..." But the dress was over my head and my arms were
stuck in the sleeves. Momma said, "That'll do. See here, Sister Flowers, I French-seams around the armholes."
Through the cloth film, I saw the shadow approach. "That makes it last longer. Children these days would bust out
of sheet metal clothes. They so rough."
"That is a very good job, Mrs. Henderson. You should be proud. You can put your dress back on, Marguerite."

In this passage, we see that Momma makes Marguerite take off her dress in order to show it off. She wants to show what a good job she has done with the dress and in this way, impress Mrs. Flowers. This embarrasses Marguerite, and Mrs. Flowers is aware of it, but Momma does not think about it. We can conclude that Momma is proud, as she wants Mrs. Flowers to appreciate the quality of her work.
