Chapter 49: I saw the problem at a glance
If someone comes here during this period and wants to have their pants altered or something, wouldn't that delay their business?
Jiang Xian hesitated for a moment, and then she added to the boss lady:
"Will this be troublesome to you?"
"How far is your home from here? If it's far, forget it. I'll look for another place."
It's not that I have to have this dress.
She didn't really want to buy the dress, she just wanted to see what the finished product looked like.
If the design is not good, she can help to modify it.
She wanted to make some modifications to this dress and incorporate her own designs into it, but she didn't know whether the boss lady could do it. Everything had to wait until she saw the dress before she could make a decision.
I thought it would be very troublesome, but unexpectedly, after hearing what Jiang Xian said, the proprietress spoke very straightforwardly:
"It's no trouble, no trouble."
"I'm just going home to get some clothes. I'll be back in about five minutes. I live in the building in front."
"Please watch over the store for me here. I'll be back soon. If someone comes to the store and wants to have their trouser legs altered, and the customer doesn't want to wait, you can ask her to wait for a while and tell her I'll be back in a bit."
The proprietress was so happy when she thought about the business coming.
Finally, someone took a fancy to the dress she had hidden at the bottom of her closet, which meant that her efforts at that time were not in vain.
It was just a matter of going home to get a sample of clothes, so how could she miss this opportunity?
If this dress was sold, she could use the money to go to the fabric market and buy better fabrics.
The proprietress moved quickly. While saying it was no trouble, she stood up from the sewing machine, picked up the key from her bag, and walked home.
There was no one at home at this time. Her mother-in-law had gone out to play cards with someone, and her husband was working outside. The two children in the family were also in school today as it was a weekday.
If she didn't take the key, she might not even be able to get into the house. This was a good thing, as she wouldn't have to see her annoying mother-in-law, and she would feel much better.
Jiang Xian looked at the proprietress of the sewing shop, who left in a flash, and felt a little helpless.
The boss lady was really confident in letting her run the store like this. If it affected her business, she would regret it to death.
In fact, Jiang Xian also understood the boss lady’s mood at this moment. After all, she and the boss lady were in the same industry.
When she thinks about her previous life, she would often take the clothes she designed in school to the night market and sell them on the street. If she could sell one, she would be very happy, because it meant that someone appreciated their designs and their design results, which really made people feel happy.
Seeing that the proprietress had left and would be back for another five or six minutes, Jiang Xian had nothing to do, so she simply flipped through the album that the proprietress had handed to her.
She continued to flip through the pages, thinking that she also needed to take a look at the fashion trends of this era so that she could better understand what styles of clothes people of this era like.
If these customers think that trench coat is fashionable, then she really needs to change her mindset.
Clothes that are too advanced may be unacceptable to people of this era.
Jiang Xian looked through the clothes one by one, and finally found that they were all rather ordinary clothes without any fancy patterns.
Although people are more receptive to such clothes, will this make them more difficult to sell?
Jiang Xian was conflicted, but she already had an idea in her mind. Perhaps she could make some modifications to these clothes, for example, changing the normal sleeves into puff sleeves, which would make them look more fashionable.
If it is a summer skirt, it cannot be designed to be too short. It should be convenient to wear to prevent exposure, etc.
About four or five minutes later, the proprietress was just as she said and came back almost at the same time.
She was holding a bag in her hand, and I believe that the bag contained the windbreaker she made.
Jiang Xian had only seen this dress in a picture album, and it was hung on the wall on a clothes hanger. No one had actually worn it.
The clothes in front of him looked pretty good, so Jiang Xian would rather touch the real thing.
This will also make it convenient for her to make modifications later.
The proprietress handed the clothes to Jiang Xian with an excited look on her face and said:
"I made this dress two or three years ago. It was kept in the store for a year but no one bought it, so I took it home and it has been gathering dust in the bottom of the box."
"There may be some dust on the surface of this clothing, but it is definitely not dirty. It will be clean after washing."
"If you don't mind, you can try it on."
After the proprietress finished speaking, she took out a clean, wet rag from the store and intended to wipe the dust accumulated on the clothes.
Because she was worried that Jiang Xian would be anxious, she rushed to the store immediately after getting the clothes from home. She didn't even have time to wipe the clothes clean at home and just brought them to the store.
She was afraid of Jiang Xian, so she gave up the dress.
She carefully wiped the dust off the clothes.
It's hard to say whether it is dust or not. After all, the clothes don't look that dirty to the naked eye.
It's just that it has changed color due to age. It will return to its original appearance after washing.
This was the first thought that came to Jiang Xian’s mind after she opened the bag and took a look at the clothes.
Seeing the tailor shop's proprietress taking the clothes out of the bag and wiping them with a wet rag, Jiang Xian waved his hand and said:
"No, it's not that dirty actually. Normal clean clothes will look like this after being left for a long time. I don't mind."
After Jiang Xian finished saying this, she took out the clothes and looked at them carefully. She discovered that there was a big problem with the style of the clothes.
The fabric and workmanship of this dress are very good, which shows that the proprietress was very attentive when she made this dress.
It’s a pity that the design is not good and it doesn’t look good when worn.
This is probably the fundamental reason why this dress cannot be sold.
Maybe the owner of this tailor shop is not aware of this problem at all. After all, she is not a professional, just an amateur.
