English term or phrase: Tall in her costly black

Tall in her costly black, a little nervous perhaps, it seemed to him that he’d never met her before — that she’d taken on a kind of remoteness that made him want to run after her, wherever it was she had gone. He watched her greet her guests with the grace he imagined cultivated in high-ceilinged establishments in Chelsea and Westminster: she seemed to know precisely what to say, and how to say it; who to greet with kisses and who preferred her handshake, which was so like a man’s. She conveyed Stella at once to a broad low seat on which a blue silk cushion was placed — ‘I saw this in Colchester just last week,’ she said, ‘and thought you should have it; take it with you when you go.’ She’d brushed her hair, and wore it loose like a girl, only pinned above the ears with silver combs; she wore pearl drops in her ears, and the lobes were red, as if they were sore from the weight of them.
