Chapter 144: Cheongsam
Claire pursed her lips, "What's the cost?" ”
"It's just a hundred thousand gold coins, and the expensive place is only those fabrics, and the whole dress uses more than a hundred different fabrics, all of which are made of silk threads spit out by fifth-level silkworm demonic beasts."
Claire nodded, the price of more than one million is indeed reasonable if calculated in this way.
"What about Sophia? Has she ever made clothes from yours too? Claire asked suddenly.
"That's natural, Madame Sophia is no exception, their family is not involved in this industry, if they want to order clothes, they will also come, not only her entire royal capital has been here." Shane didn't dare to call people on the same level as his father by his name like Claire.
Claire blinked her eyes and held her chin in thought.
"What do you want?" Shane asked.
"I promised her that I would give her a gift the next time I went to her house, and now that she has come here to order clothes, I don't know what to give. Do you have any good recommendations? Why don't you send some jewelry, but it's too expensive, and I can't bear it. ”
Shane smiled: "It seems that you don't know everything, when has a woman ever disliked her clothes more than anything?" Just send it. ”
Claire thought about it, and it seemed to be the same thing.
Shane then added, "Your clothes are free, and if you want to order another dress for Lady Sophia, then I won't be free." ”
Now he is not the head of the family, and it is already a family to give him the face of this little young master for free, this tailor shop is a high-end service industry, if he can mess with the rules so casually, it will not develop to this point.
Claire felt sorry for a moment, she couldn't happily pick up the wool now.
"Okay, can you give me a discount?"
"If you don't charge for manual work, you will be charged the cost price of the fabric." Sean said lightly.
"Okay." Claire took the unpainted blank paper on the table, thought for a moment, and began to draw.
"You're going to design it yourself?" Sean leaned over curiously.
"A little bit, a little bit."
Claire sketched a few strokes and a prototype appeared, recalling that Sophia's figure was altered again, and the upper body and crotch were modified a little.
"By the way, you can help me choose fabrics, and choose those that cost very low, but the ones that are very expensive." Claire opened her mouth and said, anyway, it was given to Sophia, naturally on the premise of saving her own money.
Shane: "......"
"Are you sure? This is for Mrs. Sophia. ”
"That's why I let you choose the expensive one."
"You're so daring." Sean really admired Claire in his heart, and if he wanted to send it, he would probably have to pay for the best fabrics and decorations in the store before he dared to give it away.
"I'm fearless." Claire said lightly, anyway, Sophia didn't cheat him less, the nightmare flower before is now mentioned like amnesia, obviously making so much money, especially not admitting it at all.
The more Claire thought about it, the more angry she became, if it weren't for the fact that she would be seen by the other party at a glance if she didn't use linen directly, Claire would definitely use linen to get a dress for the other party.
After ten minutes or so, Claire blew the ash on the revised manuscript with her mouth, picked it up and carefully appreciated it for a moment before nodding with satisfaction.
Shane also stuck his head over, and his eyes lit up when he saw the manuscript on it.
I couldn't help but take it, appreciate it carefully, and said incredulously: "This is really designed by you." ”
"Didn't you just sit on the sidelines and see it with your own eyes?" Claire spread her hands, the manuscript of the clothes on it was adapted and designed by him according to the cheongsam of his previous life, adding some otherworldly elements, and the finished product was indeed very eye-catching.
Sean smacked his lips and exclaimed, "If you weren't an aristocrat, you might be a good costume designer." ”
"Don't talk about that, take it to the tailors and try to get it out tomorrow."
"Okay!" Shane stood up and walked to the door.
"If you want money, you can deduct it from the next month's profit in the tulip shop." Claire said that if the money is not deducted in front of him, it can still be regarded as not visible, so it is not very distressing.
……
The time arrived in the afternoon before the start of the banquet.
Sean returned to his family early in the morning, and he was going to follow his father in the room, so he couldn't go with Claire.
Claire also wore a private custom dress sent from the tailor's shop, which fit and was very comfortable, no wonder those nobles would spend a lot of money on it, it was not just a matter of face, there was indeed a significant gap between the feeling of wearing it and other clothes.
Claire then arrived at Sophia's house two hours early, holding a gift box containing a cheongsam.
Today is an important day, Sophia is not talking about business outside, but Claire still hasn't seen each other since she came, according to the housekeeper, Sophia is upstairs putting on makeup.
Almost an hour later, when Claire was a little sleepy, Sophia came downstairs.
Claire's eyes lit up slightly when she saw the other party's outfit, Sophia was wearing a simple and generous black evening dress today, only embellished with simple jewelry, but it really amazed Claire.
"I've been waiting." Sophia greeted her with a smile.
Claire stood up and complimented, "Madame is exceptionally beautiful today. ”
Sophia frowned slightly, and pretended to be angry: "Lord Viscount means that people weren't beautiful before?" ”
Claire sneered in her heart, this woman is really difficult to wait, but fortunately, she has already practiced the experience of a hundred battles in her previous life.
"You were beautiful before, but today you are more beautiful, because you are getting more beautiful day by day, you today are naturally better than you before, and you will be more beautiful tomorrow."
Sophia's expression was obviously stunned when she heard Claire's words, she didn't expect Claire to say such a thing.
But after a while, he covered his mouth and laughed, "People like to listen to what Lord Viscount says, so I will say more in the future." ”
"Let's be honest." Claire said lightly, handed over the gift box containing the cheongsam in her hand, and said, "This is the gift I said I would give you before." ”
Sophia took it and asked with a smile, "I almost forgot what you didn't mention, what is in this?" ”
"It's just a piece of clothing."
"Oh?" Sure enough, just as Shane had guessed, Sophia's tone was obviously interested, "Can I open it now?" ”
"A gift for you, naturally, can be opened."
After Sophia opened the gift box, she took out the cheongsam inside, just looked at it a few times, and her eyes flashed brightly, comparing it with her own body, the excitement in her eyes became more and more obvious, this dress was very suitable for her appetite.
Gently twisting the fabric with her fingers, Claire pursed her lips nervously, and sighed in her heart: This woman should still know about fabrics.
Sophia held the cheongsam in her hand, looked at Claire and said slowly: "You are attentive, and the fabrics are so carefully selected." ”
For a while, Claire didn't understand whether the other party was sarcastic or didn't know how to pretend to understand, so she could only show an embarrassed smile, "I don't understand this aspect either, just choose randomly." ”
"I love this dress."
"If you like it, if you like it." Claire kept a smile on her face.
"I've decided, I'll wear this dress to today's banquet, I'll wait a little longer if you're tired." Sophia smiled playfully.
Claire glanced at the wall clock hanging on the wall and asked, "The banquet starts in less than an hour, is there still time?" ”
Sophia had already turned back and walked up the stairs, "Even if it starts, it will take at least more than an hour for the banquet to really start, and I still have the privilege of being late." ”
Hearing the other party's words, Claire could only secretly say in her heart that she dared to be late for the banquet held by the royal family.
