Section 155: Post-Baroque
The man everyone was waiting for in the tomb was in Earl Billy's Earl's palace at the moment.
"This evening dress was handmade by Joyce's tailor, who once made clothes for His Royal Highness Randall, the 'Golden Lion', and was a famous tailor in the kingdom......"
Norman was in the cloakroom, facing a row of clothes, while Earl Billy was beside him, explaining to him with great interest.
From the point of view of the Grand Duke's heir, this Lord Earl is undoubtedly a waste, but from the point of view of a friend, this is a good friend, the shelf is not very large, but only if you can make him treat you as a friend.
And Norman, with the Templars' miraculous sycophants, has undoubtedly succeeded in becoming a good friend of the Earl.
“...... When Joyce arrived at Nicaro, he became the royal tailor of the Palace of Versailles, and this evening gown was also made by his men. You see here, he cleverly combines glass sequins and embroidery, which is unique and exquisite......"
Billy pointed to a men's evening dress in front of the two of them, and explained endlessly.
In the end, it is an aristocracy, maybe it is very wasteful in other directions, but when it comes to the degree of dress, it is still a little insightful.
“...... Joyce has brought a new scent of Santa Vita to Nicarlo, and it is really a celebration that we can keep up with the royal family in Nicaro, and I plan to wear this evening dress to this dinner. ”
After a great deal of talk, Count Billy finally got to know every aspect of the evening dress.
This seemed to give him a sense of accomplishment, and his face was radiant, and then he turned to look at Norman and asked, "Alan, what do you think of this evening dress?"
I have a fart idea, can't I wear this thing?
Norman secretly slandered himself in his heart, but did not say it.
Today, after he came to the Earl's Court to play chess with Billy for a while, he deliberately led the topic to the tuxedo that Billy was going to wear at the dinner two days later, and then Billy brought this chess friend to his cloakroom.
Probably because Norman was very good at chess, and even Billy thought he had a high artistic taste in other aspects, and wanted him to express his opinion on the evening dress.
Norman, of course, didn't have any ideas, but the Knights Templar did.
It can be seen that this evening dress is based on the costume design elements of the Duge period, plus the embroidery elements that have gradually emerged in recent years, and combined it into the current appearance. That Joyce tailor was a good handicraft, more experienced, and used a lot of delicate little designs, such as this unconventional cut."
Norman pointed to the part of the armpit that connects to the chest under the evening dress, "This kind of tailoring will only drag down the whole dress when placed on other clothes, but on this evening dress can eliminate the abruptness of the combination of two clothing elements, and make the transition appear peaceful......"
In the past two days, Norman has been looking for some history books to chew on for today's events—mainly for the Templars—so that he can now open his mouth to say something like "the elements of costume design in the Duge period".
These words were spoken to him by the Templar teacher Tony, and he followed them.
However, Count Billy didn't know, and was stunned for a moment until Norman had finished speaking, and then he sighed: "I didn't expect that Alan, you are not only so superb in chess, but also so insightful in clothing." Mage Bella didn't find the wrong person, you are indeed an excellent talent!"
Seeing that Norman was also so proficient in clothing, Billy became interested and pulled him to look at another dress he liked.
"Look at this dress again. This is the work of Ms. Ma Kexin, and as a female tailor, her style of dressing is very different from that of the male tailors......"
With the help of Mr. Tony, Norman tasted the clothes one by one, and every exit must have something to say, and the more Billy listened, the more he admired.
In the end, Norman tasted all of Billy's proud clothes, and the rest was all of Billy's opinion, which was of little value, and finally stopped.
"Listen to Darik and say that you are just the son of a country baron,"
Billy looked at Norman with admiration in his eyes, "I really didn't expect that the son of a country baron could have such an artistic taste in addition to his superb chess skills that can almost match me." ”
Norman hurriedly said: "I usually like to study these things when I am idle at home, and I have made a lot of clothes myself. ”
These were the words that the Knights Templar had come up with for such a masterful artistic taste.
Billy nodded, jokingly, "It's a pity that you came a little late, otherwise maybe I would have been able to attend this dinner in the dress you made." ”
When Norman heard this, his spirits perked.
After talking for a long time, I finally got to the point.
"Actually, it's not too late,"
"There's still two days left before dinner, enough time for me to make a brand new evening gown," Norman said. ”
Billy was stunned.
He originally just said it casually, but he didn't expect Norman to really climb up the pole.
"Two days...... Is it enough? Joyce tailor makes a garment, but it takes half a month. ”
Norman said: "The production of the clothes has a lot to do with the style of the clothes, like the intricate evening dress made by Joyce tailor, it does take a lot of time, but my design is relatively simple, so it doesn't take a long time to make." ”
"Although the design is simple, it doesn't mean that it is rough, on the contrary, I think sometimes simplicity has a unique beauty. In fact, I already had such an idea, I call it post-baroque, but I have never found a person with a noble temperament who can deserve that idea, but after I met you, Lord Count, I think I have found ......"
Now it's Norman's turn to let out his mouth, and after a lot of words, sycophants and professionals fly together, compliments and skills are the same, and Billy is stunned for a while, only to think that the evening dress described by Norman is too wonderful, and Norman's last words make him even more excited.
“...... The Grand Duke will also be present at this dinner, and if you just wear these gowns, Lord Earl, it will not be brilliant to be honest, because the Joyce tailor will make such a dress for you, and she will also make such a dress for your brothers, but my gown is different, it is only one, and it will make you shine at the dinner party, whether it is the Grand Duke or the noble ladies of Nicaro, they will be attracted by your light. ”
The Grand Duke didn't care, Billy knew that his father had long been disappointed in him, and Norman's words attracted him to "noble ladies".
"Post-Baroque?"
Billy muttered to himself, greatly moved.
