Chapter 126: A Strange Lamp
"Lord Count, please don't breathe out......"
"I didn't breathe!"
"I'm sorry...... Count Count, excuse me for my offense, are you sure you didn't breathe?"
"Okay! I'll breathe out and show you!"
“........”
The court tailor Illy took the soft rope in her hand, and measured it three times in a row before determining Charles's waistline, and in the process of measuring it, she suspected several times that Charles was like those stinking court ladies, exhaling the air in her chest to reduce her waist circumference and make her look more attractive.
"I'm really sorry, Lord Earl, but this shirt of yours is so deceptive, it misleads me into guessing about your figure, and I am so rude......."
In the end, Illy finally found the reason for her mistake, the shirt that Charles was wearing at this time was a little baggy, which concealed his true figure, and Illi had a preconceived error of judgment, but who would have thought that a Earl's shirt would be so ill-fitting?
Of course, Illy will not admit that the image of the Count of Bayonne in her heart is simply a big fat man, so she doesn't believe in the tailor-made soft rope in her hand, and she needs to be determined several times before and after, you must know that if the clothes she makes do not match the count's figure, then her reputation will be ruined, and she will never want to get involved with the chief tailor of the court again.
Illy quickly jotted down a large list of size marks on the paper, showing her professionalism, and then asked politely: "Lord Earl, I take the liberty of asking, how do you maintain such a good figure, many nobles I have met are worried about maintaining their figure, would you mind sharing your secret?"
"Well, I'd love to share the secret, which is to skip meals and exercise more!" Charles said to Illy sincerely.
“........”
"Giggles"
Illi still maintained her reserved elegance, but Olive next to her couldn't help laughing, and Fani couldn't hold back her laughter, and the city was quietly in full bloom.
Charles seemed to be a joke, but only he knew it was the truth, at least the one about exercising more.
These days, Charles often goes to the training room on the top floor to hone his fighting skills, and he constantly switches between hunter and warrior talents, and experiences the charm of changing the pace of combat at will.
And every time he trains, he will feel that the spiritual power is constantly washing his body, so that the excess fat in the body is constantly transformed and disappearing, and yesterday he was surprised to find that he faintly saw the eighth abdominal muscle.
Fani walked over and picked up the piece of paper that Illy had written, and whispered to Illy as she looked at it, and the two women chattered incessantly, occasionally turning their heads to look at Charles, and then offering some of their "valuable opinions".
"Illy, I think I can make a retro-style Barsack gown with an embroidered pattern around the chest to make an olive branch......."
Fani made her own suggestion, and the Chevalier family's coat of arms was surrounded by an olive branch motif to indicate that the family's origins were knightly nobles of the Old Norman Empire, and Fani was using this method to emphasize the Shire's noble status.
"Lord Fani, Lord Earl's figure is definitely suitable for wearing a Barsack dress, but we don't have that much time, and there are not many days left for the New Year's banquet, and I'm afraid that if the design is too complicated, it will be too late to ......."
Illy politely declined Fani's request, the lord of Fani is a royal bloodline, and she is qualified to ask her, a court tailor who specializes in serving the royal branch, to design clothes, but this does not mean that she has to spend a lot of energy to design clothes for Charles, a "relative" of the royal family, not to mention that the two of them are not married yet, or they are married, and Charles is also a marginal figure of the royal family, and there is no comparison with those direct princesses and princes.
"Then make a more fancy Frac dress! Fani wasn't angry at all and changed her request again.
In fact, the dresses of the nobility are very troublesome, in this era of pure handicraft, little by little with stitches to sew elegant lines and gaps, it is indeed a technical job, the Frac dress is simpler, and it will be faster if you are in a hurry.
"I'll do my best, Lord Fani!" Illy also agreed, Fani had already lowered her requirements, if she didn't give face, it would be offended, no matter how much Fani was also the county lord, even if she was a court tailor, she couldn't snub her master.
"On the basis of the court dress of Barsac, we changed the girdle to fit the waist of the Earl, and then matched it with the feathered collar of the snowbird, and the hem of the coat was ......... in a pleated style."
Illie sketched a simple sketch of the dress on paper, and Fani nodded her head, but Olive frowned more and more as she looked at it.
"Do you have any other details to ask for, Lord Earl?" and at the end, Illy also asked for the opinion of the person concerned, and took care of someone's emotions.
What do I have to say? Look at your design artwork, I've got a fancy feather outfit, and I still have a hairy opinion?
"Actually, I think it's better to keep it simple........ Olive knows what I like, you can ask her!"
"Oh, Miss Olive Live, do you have any comments?"
Facing Olivi, who is less than 1.5 meters, Illy also asks gently.
"Well, I do have some opinions, you see here, we want to make some small changes to the court dress......."
Olive took out a stack of drawing paper like a trick, Charles accidentally mentioned some fashion elements of dress design to her a few days ago, and she designed it with her heart, but because Charles's figure has changed too quickly these days, she didn't put it into practice.
The little girl's painting is still good, and several sets of men's dresses are brightly colored and decent, but how Charles thinks about it, these dresses have a tough military style, or rather...... Chivalrous style.
"This ...... Is it a new style for the city-state of Milai, or a new knightly dress for the Praetorian Guard?"
Illy was very surprised, Olive painted a dress that he had never seen before, with simple lines and atmospheric lines, low-key and luxurious color combinations, and a style that was in line with the royal style.
As for why this effect is there? It's all Hollywood's fault, and Charles has seen the improved version of the court dress in those film and television dramas a few times, and Olive took it seriously and became fascinated when he casually said a few things.
In the eyes of ordinary people, these dresses only look "good-looking", but in the eyes of Illi, a court tailor, it can be seen that there are a lot of novel and improved designs of Frac's dresses, or ...... It's a completely new kind of dress.
"This is my new dress, and of course there are a lot of uncertainties, can Ms. Illy help me change it?"
Olive was ashamed to take over the patent rights, and made someone next to her glare, but this is her own sister's heart, and she can't only be scolded by her.
The three women gathered their heads around the sheets of paper and began to discuss details, such as whether the double-breasted buttons on the chest should be round or square, whether the family crest should be topstitched or dark, and whether the cuffs should be trimmed in gold or silver.......
The woman was extremely forgetful when she discussed the clothes, and Charles quietly went upstairs to sleep, and he still had a very important task to do tonight, and he didn't bother to bother with this little thing on the clothes.
As night fell, Charles went out over the wall and turned around, and quietly came to the roof of the four-story apartment building, where the little tiger cat "Boots" was already obediently waiting for him.
