The speaker says the following:
二人ともオメデトさん！コイツ久々に着物新調する言うてエライはしゃいどったで？
He points to his colleague standing behind him who responds with:
今あたしの話はいいでしょう…！？
I find the speaker's line very confusing. Though I've tried to look online I still can't figure out what しゃいどったで means. Can someone explain this to me, I'd really like to know what he's saying here.
It is 「はしゃいどったで」 and not 「しゃいどったで」.
「はしゃいどったで」
is a Kansai way of saying:
「はしゃいでいたよ」
「はしゃぐ/燥{はしゃ}ぐ」 means "to make merry", "to be in high spirits", etc. The word should be in your dictionary; Do try looking it up. It is a common word.
The sentence-ender 「で」 in Kansai means 「よ」 in Kanto.
So, 「はしゃいどったで」 means "(she) was in high spirits".
「エライ」 means "greatly", "really", etc. in Kansai.
"Congratulations, both of you! She/This Girl was in such high spirits, saying she was going to buy a new kimono for the first time in ages!"
"Do you have to talk about me now?"
