418 Winter Clothes Sample
The Yang family and the big girls and little daughters-in-law who followed behind them obviously did not receive so much attention.
In the countryside, everyone has to work in the fields, and there is no pretentious rule that "women are not allowed to show their heads", many women will do business outside, open shops, and support stalls, in order to earn a bite for their families.
However, many times, the first group of people in the limelight are still men - they are the ones who sacrifice to the ancestors, and they are also the ones who need to make decisions about major matters. Many times women are like silent old scalpers, working silently behind the scenes, devotees.
But this time, Su Qingluan pulled these women who were originally unknown behind the men into the sun.
There were fifty or sixty people present, all staring at the clothes in the hands of several women, and their eyes were surprisingly bright. Some people who are a little timid, or have a shy personality, have been noticed by so many people at the same time? Some of them blushed with nervousness, while others only cared about rubbing the corners of their robes with their hands or fiddling with the ropes of their belts.
Su Qingluan saw that these people were really a little nervous, so he still stepped forward to play a round: "I said that you are all busy with the work at hand, right?" It's exciting to watch the excitement here, huh? She raised her voice with a smile and said to the workers gathered here to watch the excitement, "Didn't you just say that? Today's outfits are just a sample, find a few people to try on! ”
After this period of time, Su Qingluan's prestige in the hearts of these people has accumulated little by little, and with such a voice, most of the people dare not continue to make a mistake, and obediently go back to do what they should do. Wait until if Su Qingluan finds someone to try on clothes, and they will come over.
However, there were also a few bold young men and women who joked with Su Qingluan: "Shopkeeper Su, can we pick a style of clothes?" ”
"Yes, I like the pale blue clothes!"
"I want a cloak embroidered with fish and lotus leaves!"
Su Qingluan saw that they seemed to report the name of the dish, and teased: "Are you ordering food?" I also picked it up! I will tell you that the cotton clothes you will be given the same as repairing the house before, just keep warm, no matter the style! ”
In fact, everyone just took advantage of this opportunity to joke, and the peasant family worked in the fields all day long, and they had no time to spare. Therefore, everyone's clothes are definitely not as gorgeous and stretched as those rich idlers, with wide robes and large sleeves.
Not having so much spare money is naturally a very important reason, but even if you have some family background like the Su family, except for celebrations such as the New Year's Festival, you will get one or two dresses with such light and fluttering bells and whistles, and most of the time they prefer flexible and convenient styles.
As for the colors, most of them are gray, black, dark blue, and at most there is a light blue and light green. Most of them are mainly colors that can withstand dirt, even if they are slightly lighter, they are very common, and they are not too bright or elegant.
As for the pattern or something, it is even less common - the kind of cloth that prints and dyes the pattern is often more than a little more expensive than the solid color cloth, and it is not worth it for ordinary people.
With that extra money, they would rather buy some food to eat.
Su Qingluan's usual image of men's clothing is not mentioned, even if there is no men's clothing like today, she is also a narrow sleeve jacket with a thick half-arm, and the skirt below is also straight.
And the feet are also the kind of thick mille-feuille shoes, not the kind of toe shoes that stumble when you walk faster.
As for what headdress beads are even more impossible, women who work ordinarily, even if they like to decorate themselves, in order to facilitate their actions, they usually do not buy hairpins with tassels, at most a simple silver hairpin wooden hairpin, and decorate the head with a little bit of wildflowers or silk flowers, and it will be the end.
So in fact, when everyone says that they choose a look or something, they are actually mostly joking, just to join in the fun.
If Su Qingluan is not involved in work, she is actually not very strict with this kind of minutiae - in her opinion, as long as she can do her job well, other times, it is gossip or jokes, as long as it is not too excessive, it doesn't matter.
So now, hearing that this person is joking, she also took advantage of the situation to say a few words, and everyone just coaxed and dispersed.
In fact, the clothes are said to have different styles, but in fact there are only two - men's and women's. It's just that the two are designed with different models, which can be worn by people of different shapes.
Even the clothes that the peasant family needs to make work are inherently wider and larger sleeves than modern Western-style clothing, which has the advantage of not having to be as detailed as the "size" of the clothes in modern times.
What's more, ordinary people, which is not the younger brother and sister picking up the clothes of the elder brothers and sisters to wear, and the older brothers and sisters picking up the clothes worn by their parents and wearing them?
As the saying goes, "three years of new and three years of old, and another three years of sewing and mending", the clothes of the peasant family are rarely "fitted".
That being said, it was clear that Yang didn't intend to fool things around because of that. When everyone unfolded the sample of the winter coat, the crowd that had already dispersed couldn't help but look this way, followed by the sound of inhalation and exclamation, and the sound of whispering discussions.
It's not that Yang and the sisters she brought with her are so skillful, or how precious the fabric of this dress is.
In fact, this batch of fabrics came in from Aunt Yang's side. Aunt Yang is real, basically every piece of fabric has pushed the profit to the minimum, and she is about to catch up with the wholesalers.
Su Qingluan's requirements for fabrics are that the style and color are left to the Yang family to decide, but there are two most important points: one is that the fabric should be windproof, thick, wear-resistant, and not easily damaged; The other is that the price is affordable, cost-effective, and there is no premium for rare materials or big brands.
The reason why everyone was so amazed was that even with limited materials, Yang and her sisters used their skillful hands to make all the clothes as pleasing as possible to the eye.
There was not a big difference between men's and women's clothing in this era, especially among farmers, most of whom were mainly narrow-sleeved and short-brown, and this winter coat was no exception.
However, when Yang first designed it, he made a clear distinction between the styles and colors of the two - the man's upper body is dark blue, and the lower "trousers" are black.
The women's tops are light blue, and the lower body is also black, but the women embroider black and light gray piping on the cuffs and trouser legs, which looks more sophisticated.
If you look closely, the stitches of the winter coat are very fine, and whether it is the belt or the jacket inside, there is a layer of cotton - the soft touch can be felt just by reaching out and touching it.
So those who were bold enough to touch the fabric greeted as if Columbus had discovered the New World: "Eh, come and see, there is cotton!" There is also a belt inside! ”
