When the teacher's wife heard that Xiaowei wanted to design her own dress, she applauded with both hands and said, "Please help the teacher's wife design a dress too!"
"Okay! Master, I'll cover your clothes." Ling Xiaowei is very confident. Now she already has the look of the dress in her mind. Now she just needs to buy the right fabric.
"Master Wife, I know a market that sells fabrics. The materials there are very complete."
"That's great, Master Wife, let's go now! We have to hurry up."
"Okay, let's take a walk..."
Master opened his mouth several times to express that he didn't have any new clothes either, but neither of them looked at him the whole time!
In order to make clothes, they didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so the two of them hurried out. The master looked at them and pouted, making new clothes without taking him with him. He was unhappy, very unhappy.
After the two of them came back from buying the ingredients, the master ignored them.
Ling Xiaowei and his wife were in an extremely excited state of making clothes. They completely ignored an unhappy person and started to work in the room.
Ling Xiaowei first drew two design drawings in large strokes, and then after some discussion with the mistress, she decided on her own little dress and the mistress's dress, and the two of them decided on their clothes.
The mistress's dress is a modified cheongsam, while Ling Xiaowei's dress is a blue and white cake skirt with a small tail, which is sweet and elegant.
After deciding on the clothes, we started making them, first for the mistress. Ling Xiaowei only needed to take a look to know the mistress's shoulder width, height and body measurements.
Taking scissors that are not professional cutting tools, I started cutting the fabric in a broad stroke.
This material is really good, it's really tempered, and it's very comfortable to touch. The aqua color is very beautiful. My wife is already fair, so she looks very beautiful in this color.
The master's wife and Aunt Liu didn't know how to make clothes, so they stood aside and watched with concentration. "Is this too plain?" Aunt Liu asked worriedly.
"No, I thought the dress was ready, but I still wanted to trouble Master to make a picture of mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River for my wife!" Ling Xiaowei said.
"Oh, this is so creative. It has a skirt painted by Fu Laozuo, which is really priceless." Aunt Liu looked at Ling Xiaowei in a way that could really see the flowers in her eyes. This little girl is really amazing.
.
"Humph! I don't draw!" Fu Lao held the newspaper, turned his head and turned sideways, and refused.
I'm still angry about what happened in the morning!
"If you don't paint for me, I won't take you with me today." The master's wife said proudly with her hands on her hips.
The master angrily changed his direction and continued to read the newspaper. If he didn't draw, he wouldn't draw!
Two old kids, so childish!
Ling Xiaowei ignored the two quarrelsome people and continued to do the work at hand.
Seeing her take out another piece of thin gauze of the same color that looked like cicada wings, Aunt Liu asked curiously: "What is this for?"
"Making clothes! Lining the outside." Ling Xiaowei explained.
When I bought it, my wife didn’t know what it meant, but now I understand! It turns out it’s lined on the outside!
only……
She has never seen such clothes, but she believes in Xiaowei's aesthetics, and she is beginning to look forward to wearing this dress quickly. When the time comes, she will definitely be the most dazzling in the room.
Ling Xiaowei was making clothes all morning. Aunt Liu and Mistress were watching attentively at first, but then they sat on the sofa eating fruit and chatting, watching by the way, and finally the two went out!
It was time to make lunch at noon. Seeing how hard Ling Xiaowei was making clothes, the two decided to burn some delicious food to comfort Ling Xiaowei at noon.
The meal at noon was so rich that Ling Xiaowei was full and continued to work. While everyone was taking a lunch break, Ling Xiaowei was working hard on the sewing machine. When the wife's clothes were ready, she was about to call someone, but she found that Master and
Wife, I'm all sleepy.
Let’s wait until the two of them wake up!
Ling Xiaowei put the clothes aside and started making her own little dress.
The cicadas were chirping continuously outside, and the wind was constantly rustling the leaves. Although the room was hot, it didn't feel stuffy. The sunlight filtered through the glass and scattered bits and pieces on the table where she worked.
Cutting, ironing, sewing, the work on hand was done in an orderly manner. Unconsciously, the scattered lights dimmed, the wind stopped, and the cicada's cry became quieter.
Time flies so fast. Looking at the clock on the wall, it's already past three o'clock.
She needs to hurry up!
Just when she was stepping on the sewing machine, the teacher's wife and the master had already gotten up. As soon as the teacher's wife came out, she asked: "Are my clothes ready?"
"Okay, let's leave it over there!" Ling Xiaowei pointed to the clothes hanging on the hangers, "Now it's time for Master to paint a picture on the clothes. It's up to you, Master."
Ling Xiaowei said without raising her head, the clothes in her hand were almost finished.
"Oh, this dress is so beautiful, I like it so much." The teacher's wife was so happy that she gestured with the dress on her body and took a look in front of the mirror.
After a while, he went to the study to find Mr. Fu. He only heard Mr. Fu in the room praising him repeatedly, and he simply agreed to paint the clothes.
The lining of the clothes is painted with landscape pictures, and the outside is covered with a layer of gauze, giving it a hazy aesthetic, very beautiful and fairy-like.
"It's beautiful! It's my first time to paint Madam's clothes. It's such an honor!" Mr. Fu sighed in a pretentious manner, but at the same time he felt sour inside. He didn't have new clothes to wear, "You all have new clothes, but I don't!"
I’m not going tonight!”
"Master, how come you don't have one? Look what this is!" Ling Xiaowei pointed to the suit and bow tie next to her. The bow tie was made from the scraps of the master's wife's clothes.
"You even made me a suit?" Mrs. Fu was surprised. There is not enough time. This child is not a genius, but a god!
"Master, I used your old suit to make it fit better. Come and try it!" Ling Xiaowei waved to Master.
Mr. Fu was very touched. He thought Xiaowei had forgotten about you. He hurriedly tried on the suit. The suit was not very fitting at first, but now it fit well and was quite wide. Paired with this bow tie, it looked really good!
"Oh my god, you are so energetic. Teacher Fu, you look more than ten years younger when you dress like this." Aunt Liu praised her vigorously.
"It looks good! This dress is so harmonious!" the master's wife said cheerfully.
It was getting late, so everyone started getting ready individually. It was most convenient for the master to put on his suit as soon as he put it on, while the master's wife had to put on makeup.
Ling Xiaowei was in her room, changed into a pleated skirt, arranged her hair, and put on a little light makeup. This was the nude makeup that would become popular many years later. It was just that the makeup was on so that no one could tell, but it still looked good.
