At first he isn't sure why he warranted that sort of response. It couldn't be the handiwork she deemed as terrible because she has yet to inspect that up close. Perhaps it was inappropriate to have touched her dress. But surely it had been made by a skilled tailor or seamstress. Do men not make ornate dresses for women?
"It wasn't easy finding anything suitable from our available selection." Not only was the town woefully allergic to jacquard, but Doc also did not want to cut up a perfectly good article of clothing or piece of fitted upholstery that someone else could use. But before they launch into a detailed discussion about the Fifty Pantones of Grey in this week's episode of Project Runway, or any speculation on whether John Henry Holliday is a keeper, Doc purses his lips and casually shrugs it off. "Once that was sourced it was no trouble at all." He is a man of many talents; she can compliment him effusively later.
Honestly he doesn't really think she would be wearing it around town, even with the way she had glared daggers at him when he offered her comfortable sleep or lounging around wear when they had first met. It seemed like a form over function type of attire, and discomfort aside, it would make her stand out amongst the crowd. But to be fair, even though he has taken to all the flannel on offer in Mathias, the rest of his outfit makes him stand out too, so maybe he can't judge anyone on that.
Mostly he patched it up because he thought there might be good things at home that would keep her going that her dress might remind her of. Things other than war and chaos, which is why that gaping hole and blood had to be mended.
