Chapter 29 The Greek Goddess Fan

Looking up at the blue sky, looking at the Statue of Liberty standing on the edge of the harbor not far away, Gu Xiran's heart became very peaceful.

She closed her eyes, recalling the scenery she saw along the way in the afternoon, and the prototype of the freshman party design slowly formed in her mind.

At the beginning, it was still a cloud of fog, which was somewhat unclear.But as time went on, that fog became clearer.

By the time she opened her eyes again, she was already confident in the design of the freshman party.

Although he has never participated in such a school party, Gu Xiran believes that people will never refuse beautiful clothes.

So she plans to design a beautiful long dress for herself at the freshman party this time.

Just like the dream every girl had when she was a child.She will be transformed into a fairy in a fairy tale that night.

For the style of the long skirt, choose the Greek goddess style worn by the Statue of Liberty in front of you.Sloping shoulders, pure colors, long skirts, and just right splits will all be indispensable elements.

The color of the long skirt is the same blue as the blue sky.Shallow, just looking at it will make people feel very comfortable.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiran smiled happily, and moved his hands quickly, drawing what he thought of in the sketchbook stroke by stroke.

Soon, a beautiful blue Greek goddess dress appeared on the white sketch paper.

Looking at the drawn design, Gu Xiran showed a satisfied smile on his face.

She raised the design in her hand high, stretched her waist, and stretched her body that had become stiff from maintaining the same movement.

At this time, there was some dazzling light in the sky, which attracted Gu Xiran's attention.

She immediately raised her head and looked directly at the sun high in the sky.

At the beginning, the strong sunlight made her a little uncomfortable.But after a while, she discovered that the light refracted by the sun was so shining in the sky.Just like gems dotted on the blue sky, it is dazzling.

If... my design, also add some eye-catching light.So under the lighting of the party, will there be similarities in the same way?
When Gu Xiran was appreciating this scene, he couldn't help thinking like this.Then she took action, picked up a pen and began to modify the design draft that had been drawn.

Considering the long skirts designed now, they already have many dazzling factors.If the additions are too cumbersome, it will definitely destroy the beauty of the long skirt.

So after some thinking, Gu Xiran only added some sparkling gems at the waist to make the finishing touch.

"Wow, you've finished the design!" Just as Gu Xiran was carefully looking at the design drawing, thinking that there was still room for modification, Betty, who was sitting behind her, suddenly let out an exclamation.

Then the sketchbook that Gu Xiran was holding in his hand was snatched away by the excited Betty.

"What a beautiful design, just looking at the design draft, I have an urge to wear it on my body. Linda, you are worthy of being admitted by No. 1!" Betty stroked the design draft gently with her hand, Let out a burst of exclamation.

"Thank you, I am also very satisfied with it." Gu Xiran was very happy to receive such great praise for his proud work.

"By the way, what fabric do you plan to use to make this skirt." Betty asked modestly.

"In the design of this long skirt, I think the most important thing is the elegant feeling of the skirt. So I plan to use yarn or chiffon to make this long skirt."

Gu Xiran thought for a while, and told Betty about his plan.

"Well, this can indeed create a sense of elegance. But...if the color of yours is not selected correctly, it will easily make people feel cheap. Moreover, the craftsmanship of this skirt is also very demanding, so it must not be a little bit Make a mistake, otherwise it will make the design lose value. So I suggest that you still hire a professional tailor to make it, so as not to make mistakes."

Betty sincerely expressed her suggestion, reminding Gu Xiran of things that might come across when she was doing it.

"I have considered all these. I will be very cautious when buying fabrics, and I will never let my design fail on the fabrics. As for handwork... I am very confident in my handwork, so I will not fake my hands on the fabric. people."

In the past, whether in school or as a design assistant, Gu Xiran's handwork was famous for its exquisiteness.Especially in the clothing company, she was also carefully taught by a well-known old tailor in Shanghai, and her craftsmanship was even more admirable.

So as long as the choice of fabric is okay, Gu Xiran is not worried at all that the works on the design draft will not be displayed.

"Since you are so confident, I don't have anything to say. Why don't you come and help me look at the design draft, give me pointers, and give me suggestions."

Betty's little face was flushed, as if she had made a great determination, she took out the design draft she had just drawn from behind her, and asked Gu Xiran to make suggestions.

"Hmm... your design is as sweet as yours, but I think it's a bit cumbersome." Taking Betty's design draft, Gu Xiran looked at it carefully.Then pointing to the design draft, she felt that it was inappropriate and began to suggest: "I think the collar you designed is very beautiful. As long as you can make the folds, it will be very attractive. But the part of your skirt , and the sleeves, I feel a little redundant. Especially the puff sleeves, not only make people feel very strong, but also match with this skirt all day, just like an antique skirt. So I suggest, You can subtract these two places and leave the collar design alone."

"Remove these two places, wouldn't there be nothing on the skirt? Would it look empty and ugly!" Betty looked at those two places with some embarrassment, feeling very hesitant.

"Actually, if you think about it, many big-name designs and high-end customizations are more simple. Most of those clothes rely on beautiful silhouettes to win. So your skirt, as long as the shape is beautiful. Then match it with The collar you designed will be very good, and it won't feel ugly at all."

Gu Xiran looked at Betty sincerely, trying to persuade her.

She really hoped that Betty would take her advice without any other thoughts.

Seeing that Betty was wavering, Gu Xiran hurriedly said: "Your dress is made of bright yellow, which gives people the feeling of being young and energetic, and makes people feel very fresh. Then why do you need to use those cumbersome designs? How about destroying this freshness?"

"Well, I see, I will subtract these two places."

Knowing that Gu Xiran was out of good intentions, Betty still felt very sad to change her design.

But after carefully thinking about Gu Xiran's words, Betty still decided to accept it.

Thinking about the finished product, if the effect is not satisfactory, she will modify it at that time.

Thinking of this, Betty immediately smiled at Gu Xiran, and began to revise her design.

When the redrawn design draft is presented.Betty had to admit that Gu Xiran's suggestion was correct.

Now the skirt she designed looks very fresh without those cumbersome parts.There is even a touch of elegance in the simplicity, which completely loses the childishness just now.

"Linda, thank you for your suggestion. I think it looks much better than the one just now. Maybe I can use it to enter the student design exhibition with you."

Betty spoke excitedly, but after the words blurted out, she felt that she was too proud.Immediately stuck out his tongue embarrassingly, and smiled embarrassingly.

"Since you are also satisfied with your design, let's hurry up and go to buy fabrics. Although the freshman party is next week, it seems that there is plenty of time. But in fact, the class time is deducted, and the usual After the trivia, there is not much time left. So we have to race against time to make the finished product as soon as possible.”

Gu Xiran counted the time, and found that after he finished his part-time job in class, he didn't have much time left every day.

She immediately stood up anxiously, took Betty's hand and ran towards the bus stop.

At the beginning, Betty was still unmoved, feeling that Gu Xiran was a little too worried.But after seeing Gu Xiran so nervous, Betty also became nervous.

So the two rushed from the Statue of Liberty to the flagship store of 'Mu', the largest cloth store chain in New York, with the fastest speed.

Before Gu Xiran came to New York, she had already heard of the name 'Mu'.Knowing that this is the largest chain cloth store in the United States, it has the most complete range of goods.

No matter what kind of fabric or accessories you are looking for, you can always meet your needs here.

So Gu Xiran has always wanted to come and take a look, but because he was busy with part-time jobs, he didn't have time.

When she and Betty came to the door of the flagship store of 'Mu', Gu Xiran was still a little disappointed.I feel that this small entrance, the inconspicuous facade, is not grand at all, and it doesn't match the reputation of 'Mu'.

But after walking in, Gu Xiran realized that he was wrong.

Although there is no luxurious decoration inside, the whole bolts of cloth piled up around it made Gu Xiran feel as if he had entered the ocean of cloth.

"My God, this place is so big, it is dozens of times larger than the fabric store in my small town." Betty looked around and felt that everything was very novel.

"Yeah, it's so big here. Just looking at the door, I really can't imagine what it looks like inside." Gu Xiran nodded, feeling dazed, and hadn't recovered from the sigh.

"The accessory area is on the first floor, and the fabric I want... is on the east side of the second floor. What you want is on the west side of the third floor." Betty stood in front of the instruction map in the store, looking for the area where the fabric she wanted was located.

When she saw that she and Gu Xiran were going to different floors, she immediately said: "Linda, let's hurry up and find our own fabrics. In the end, we will gather at...the cash register at the door, what do you think?"

"Okay, then let's find each other first, and see you later." After recovering, Gu Xiran was already eager to try, and couldn't wait to find a fabric with a suitable design.

So facing Betty's suggestion, she didn't hesitate at all.

So the two parted ways and started looking for the right fabric for their designs.
