Oh, brother, what a baby. I hadn't really grasped how to pitch when I went to my first (and so far only) pitch festival, plus the idea I was going with kind of stunk, so I got rejected by every agent I went to. It probably didn't help I'd lost my voice at the time, so I had to have one of the volunteers from the workshop read my pitch for me. The only criticism I got that bugged me was one of them told me I had to "speak up", which is kind of hard to do when you can't talk. :/

Yeah, she was probably rolling her eyes because he just didn't know how to pitch, namely, to summarize the story in one sentence. Or even two. (E.g, 'the story is about a woman who can only save her family by allowing her family's business to be destroyed.') If you can't say it in one sentence, it's not a story worth reading as there's nothing to capture the reader's interest right off the bat.
But to kvetch about her dress after rambling on and on, sigh.
