Chapter 266: Designing the Gown

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
If the gown didn’t fit during the wedding, it didn’t matter how beautiful the gown was, she would still look terrible.
He Xiyan asked, “You’ll only need to measure my height, right?”
She hoped that they wouldn’t ask her to undress since that’d be so awkward. She had only just come out from a bath so she was only wearing a pair of panties. She wasn’t even wearing a bra.
Emma smiled politely and sweetly.
She stepped forward and placed her hand on He Xiyan’s shoulder, then tugged on the ribbon holding her nightgown together and her nightgown immediately opened to reveal her nakedness.
He Xiyan didn’t know how to react.
“You…”
Her eyes widened in surprise and fright. Although the two people in front of her were both women, she still felt awkward standing naked in front of them.
Soon, a fierce red blush stained her cheeks.
One of the two designers was in charge of drawing and sketching the design, while the other was in charge of the post-production and also the design.
They seemed to be used to her reaction and they weren’t shy at all.
He Xiyan took large gulps of air and her expression was extremely awkward and unnatural.
She could only look up at the ceiling and allowed them to use their measuring tapes to record her measurements.
However, she was shocked when she heard that her waist size was 82cm.
Wasn’t that a little too much?
Her waist had expanded from her initial 65CM to 82CM.
Emma said, “Lizhu, write down her waist size as 85 CM. There’s still more than 20 days to the wedding so her stomach will definitely continue to expand. It wouldn’t work if we design her gown based on her current measurements.”
He Xiyan was speechless.
Then, she fell into despair.
She looked completely hopeless as though she hoped that she could hide herself in a hole.
She guessed that she was probably more than 55 KG by this time. How could she have put on so much weight? She’d definitely look extremely ugly on the day of the wedding.
What kind of wedding gown would suit such a fat bride?
After they had finished recording her measurements, she quickly got dressed again.
She sighed and looked despairingly at the two designers.
These designers continued to smile politely at her. To them, she was their client and their client was always right.
“Alright, Mrs. Ye. You may now let us know what you want. For example, what kind of style you’d prefer, or what colors you like, or what kind of effect you want to achieve. You may be as abstract or as detailed as you like and I’ll design the most suitable gown for you based on your preferences,” Emma said sweetly and politely.
Then, she took out several sketchbooks that contained her previous works. There were a myriad of styles recorded in her sketchbooks be it romantic, elegant, beautiful, modern, wild, gowns with anime elements, or Chinese elements or imperial elements, and so on.
He Xiyan casually browsed through the sketchbooks. She used to draw often and she also had experience doing sketches but she wasn’t in the mood to think about what kind of gown she’d like to wear at that moment.
She only cared about how much weight she had put on. She was sure that she’d be an ugly bride on the day itself. If the media circulated their wedding pictures online, everyone would definitely deduce that she wasn’t compatible with him at all.
“I’m fine,” He Xiyan shook her hands in resignation and continued with a smile, “Please design the gown as you see fit. As long as it isn’t too exaggerated I’d wear it. My only request is for the gown to have a slimming effect on me; the slimmer I look, the better. It would be best if I look as slim as a bolt of lightning.”
The two designers burst into laughter. This was the first time they had encountered such a client.
However, they quickly nodded politely. They would always accommodate their client’s request.
Then, He Xiyan had no further requests. Instead, Ye Hao was the one who provided some opinions.
