Chapter 263 Trying on clothes
Fang Yi ran into Xie Wan at the school gate. Before she could say anything, a car drove up to her. The window rolled down, revealing Shen Luoyan's face: "Yi Yi, get in!"
"Sister Yan!" Fang Yi smiled, nodded to Xie Wan and got into her car.
She sat directly in the passenger seat. Shen Luoyan taught her how to fasten her seat belt. They set off on the road and drove directly to an alley.
With Fang Yi around in circles, they finally reached the gate of a courtyard. Shen Luoyan's eyes were filled with surprise. She knocked on the door, and a girl soon came out.
"Hello! ....Sister Yan?!"
The young girl Xiao Cai opened her eyes wide in disbelief, rushed over and hugged Shen Luoyan tightly: "Wuwuwu! .....Sister Yan! It's great that you are finally back! .....Wuwuwu..."
She must have cried for joy. Fang Yi was startled by her sudden action, but she couldn't help being moved when she heard her crying.
"Why are you crying?" Shen Luoyan smiled helplessly and comforted the other person skillfully, "I'm back, aren't I?"
Xiao Cai burst into laughter and quickly took the two of them inside.
The three of them entered the side room, which was very clean, with a clean and tidy coffee table and a small floral tablecloth, as well as two large sofas. The environment was comfortable.
"This is my private room. Please take a seat first! I'll get you some food and drinks."
After a few pleasantries, Xiao Cai came over with three glasses of juice and two plates of biscuits and chocolates, placing them on the small coffee table. "You're welcome, Sister Yan. Could you please introduce this young lady to me first?"
Shen Luoyan looked at Xiao Cai in surprise. She had lost her youthfulness and her eloquence had improved. She was still as clever as ever.
"This is my cousin, she should be about your age, her name is Fang Yi."
"Xiaoyi, right? Hello, just call me Xiaocai!" Xiaocai said cheerfully, her words like a machine gun without stopping. "You are Sister Yan's sister, so you are my sister. Come to my place to make clothes and I will design them for you."
"Hello, then I will obey your command." Fang Yi could feel the friendliness conveyed by the other party and responded with a smile.
Xiao Cai praised: "You two really are a family, you both look equally good!"
"You're the only one who's talking nonsense. Please help Yi Yi take her measurements. We need to order two sets of clothes for her for formal occasions."
"Okay!" Xiao Cai brought out a tape measure and a stack of clothing pictures, and asked them to take a look first to see if there was anything they liked.
Most of them were sketches, but one could still see the exquisiteness of the design. Fang Yi couldn't help but exclaim, "It's beautiful!"
It is so beautiful in the drawing, it is hard to imagine how stunning it is in reality.
"Well, these are my collections. They are not available on the market right now."
Now that reform and opening up have taken off, there are already many private clothing factories. In fact, there are only a few styles that everyone can think of. But as soon as a new style becomes popular, the next step is to constantly imitate and repeat it.
Her styles are particularly trendy and bold, with the right combination of colors and styles. Moreover, they are all custom-made clothes, and her production volume is far less than that of those factories, so she suffers a great loss in this matter.
So recently I rarely make new clothes of these designs, and focus all my energy on designing clothes that I like.
Fang Yi chose for a while, and finally picked out three before she was overwhelmed by the choices: a short-sleeved cheongsam style, but with some improvements, a long-sleeved slim dress with a lot of clever hems, and a sleeveless cheongsam with a very beautiful pattern at the neckline.
"Sure, these three colors all suit your skin tone." Xiao Cai's eyes lit up and she pulled over a row of hangers. "This is the first style of clothing. Don't look at the pattern for now, its..."
After giving the two a detailed introduction, Fang Yi was very satisfied and nodded, saying, "Then I'll take these three styles!"
"The first cheongsam is red, perfect for the family reunion banquet." Shen Luoyan agreed. Xiao Cai stuffed a few drawings into her and asked in confusion, "Xiao Cai, what is this?"
"This is something I designed especially for you, my sister!" Xiao Cai hurried over and said, "Come and see if you like it!"
"Hey..." She flipped it open and saw that it was covered with annotations and carefully drawn. It didn't look like an ordinary sketch. "It looks great!"
Xiao Cai smiled when she heard her praise, but she still asked her if she liked it. Seeing her nod, Xiao Cai took out two pieces of clothing from the cart.
"Then let's try it?"
"......!!" Shen Luoyan said in surprise: "How come you made it for me? This is my size?!"
Xiao Cai nodded, her eyes filled with nostalgia: "Sister Yan, you also funded this studio for me, and you also asked someone to bring the book back to me. I have no way to repay your kindness to me!"
"You're being rude!" Shen Luoyan quickly stopped the other person from kneeling down. "What are you doing?"
"...If it weren't for Sister Yan, I might still be running our family shop, and I wouldn't have the money to treat my father's illness! ...Thank you, Sister Yan!"
She could not forget that day, a man who looked a bit like Shen Luoyan knocked on her door and handed her a few thick books, saying that they were sent by Sister Yan.
She asked, "Where is Sister Yan?" The man's expression suddenly fell, his face pale. Seeing him like this, Xiao Cai had a bad guess in her heart. He left without answering. In the second year, the third year, Shen Luoyan did not appear again.
Later, I heard that she had died in the war. Xiao Cai felt sad and opened the book she sent me. She found a lot of money inside.
The other party treated her as her younger sister. At that time, she had an elderly and sick father and she was the only one in the family. She was under great pressure. The money Sister Yan gave her not only solved her urgent needs, but also gave her the opportunity to open this studio.
"If you want to thank me, I'll have to trouble you to take care of me in the future." Shen Luoyan curled her lips and patted the other person gently.
Xiao Cai burst into laughter and took out all the clothes. Although she knew that the other party was not there, she still made all the styles.
After trying on the clothes, Shen Luoyan prepared to leave with Fang Yi. They returned with a lot of things. As for the clothes, they would get them tomorrow.
