English term or phrase: take the wind out of their sails

ten idiom jest mi oczywiście znany, ale w moim kontekście zdaje się nie występuje w swoim "pierwszym" znaczeniu.

Instruktaż dla sprzedawców w butiku, jak rozwiewać wątpliwości klientek. Klientka po wyjściu z przymierzalni mówi: "take the wind of their sails".
A w odpowiedzi ma usłyszeć od sprzedawcy:

"You are right in saying that the jacket sits closely around the shoulders. The most important thing is of course that you feel good in it and all I can say is that tailored jackets are right on trend this year!
Think of Jennifer Aninston for example!

To wszystko, co wiem o sytuacji, żadnego bliższego opisu sytuacji.

O co może chodzić???

Z góry dziękuję.
A.
