Be as concrete in your answer as possible. This gives the interviewer confidence in your ability to handle these situations. You want to demonstrate that you will be sensitive to a customer's opinion and interested in keeping that customer satisfied with your work.

"I'd ask her how she felt about the length. If she thinks it's okay, I'll ask her what the dress is for. If it's for work, I'd gently caution her that it might be too short for the office. I might also ask her the situations she plans on wearing it, then ask her what her other dresses are like. That way I have a better gauge of what she'd be comfortable with."
