But it’s also true that in this day and age, it’s already a big deal for a woman to be able to stand on her own and boldly open a shop!
She originally planned to ask about the buttons, but now, she has other thoughts.
So I didn't leave in a hurry and spent a long time shopping in the store.
In the end, I chose the same top as Teacher Zhang, but I did not choose the black flared pants that the boss lady matched, but instead chose a white skirt.
Sure enough, it attracted the boss's attention.
The female boss looked at the matching items displayed together and looked at Lin Jiaojiao again in surprise: "Can you tell me why you matched them like this?"
"Does the store have a rule that requires matching pants?"
"Of course not! I just think this combination looks better than the one just now, so I wanted to ask if you're also studying tailoring?"
"Are you a tailor?"
"Yes, I make most of the clothes in the store!"
Seeing the female boss being so straightforward, Lin Jiaojiao smiled and took out the clothing pattern she had prepared in advance from her bag. "That's perfect. I have a set of clothes I've always wanted to make. I see that the workmanship here is very good. Can you help me make it? The price is negotiable."
The female boss was a little surprised, as this was the first time a customer came to her with a design drawing to have something custom made.
But after taking it and looking at the style clearly, I was shocked: "Did you design this yourself?"
"yes."
"You, are you sure you're not learning tailoring?"
Lin Jiaojiao smiled and shook her head: "I just simply like the styles of these clothes, so I collect some picture books of this kind and draw them casually. Can you do it?"
"Of course, no problem." The female boss smiled and held out her hand: "By the way, I haven't had time to introduce myself yet. My name is Xin Lan."
"Lin Jiaojiao."
"It's a nice name, and she's beautiful!"
"Thank you, you're beautiful too."
Which woman doesn’t like to be praised!
Xin Lan smiled from ear to ear, her eyes shrewd: "Since we all know each other, I will make this dress for you for free."
Lin Jiaojiao instantly understood her thoughts, which of course played into her hands. However, she pretended to be surprised and shook her head: "How can this be possible? I'd better give you the money!"
"Really? To be honest, I've loved needlework since I was a kid, and I've loved making clothes even more as I've grown up. That's why I opened this little shop despite my family's objections. Your dress is really well designed. I can make it for you for free, and I can even give you some money. But there's one thing: can we also make this style of dress in our shop? Of course, the money will definitely satisfy you!"
Lin Jiaojiao was even more surprised: "You mean, you like these clothes I designed?"
"Of course, you designed it very well!"
"If you really think so..." Lin Jiaojiao pretended to hesitate. After a moment's hesitation, she took out four or five designs from her bag and said, "Then take a look at these!"
"besides?"
Xin Lan took the design drawings handed to her by Lin Jiaojiao in disbelief. She looked at each of the clothing designs, each one more stunning than the last. "This is so beautiful! Did you really design all of these?"
"That's right."
"How about this, sell them all to me and I'll give you this amount for each one!"
Lin Jiaojiao looked at the three fingers the woman extended, smiled, and reached out to hold them. "I don't want money. If you really like my design, I want to cooperate with you."
"cooperate?"
"That's right." Lin Jiaojiao looked back at the clothes on the wall. "I've just systematically examined the clothes you designed. The workmanship is exquisite, the styles are novel, and they are indeed very attractive. I looked around and saw that there must have been at least thirty or forty people coming and going since I entered the store. Business is booming!"
The female boss understood a little, but looking at the design drawings in her hand, she was really moved. She smiled and said, "It's okay. However, as I told you just now, my family is not very supportive. I almost run this stall alone. Everyone has their own shortcomings, and the pressure is still quite great! I have thought about finding someone to cooperate with, but I have never found the right person. I am really lucky to meet you today. If you can really continue to provide such beautiful designs, I will definitely consider it!"
Lin Jiaojiao did not respond to this.
Understand that some design drawings alone cannot completely make the other party fall in love.
So, while coaxing the child, she picked out a few sets of clothes with classic designs from the store: "Actually, generally speaking, although there are thirty or forty styles of clothes in the store, they all revolve around these six pieces as the foundation."
After hearing this, Xin Lan's expression froze for a moment, then returned to its previous state: "You have a really sharp eye!"
"I think your designs are really good, but the color matching...actually, the color matching of clothing is very sophisticated."
"How do you say that?"
"We all know that the basic colors of all colors are the three primary colors of red, yellow, and blue. Everything else is created around the shades of these three colors. Therefore, when matching clothing colors, you should choose colors that are closer, such as those in the red-yellow range, the blue-yellow range, or the blue-red range. This will create a more harmonious and unified look. This is suitable for most clothing designs, but it is not absolute. Depending on the style of the clothing, the greater the contrast and the stronger the impact, the more beautiful the color combination."
"..." Xin Lan was a little confused: "Can you explain it in more detail? More simply?"
"For example, this light pink top can be paired with white or gray, because they both have low saturation and naturally create a harmonious effect."
"That's right, that's right!" Xin Lan looked at the style next to her and adjusted the color matching according to Lin Jiaojiao's instructions. She found that it was indeed much more pleasing to the eye. "Indeed, fashion design is not only about style, but also about color matching. I really overlooked this. I never listened to what you said just now. Are you an international student?"
Lin Jiaojiao smiled and shook her head: "It's just that I read too many books!"
Xin Lan didn't ask any more questions and eagerly grabbed her hand: "I'm willing to cooperate with you. As long as you can provide the design drawings, I'm willing to split the profit with you 50-50!"
"That's not necessary. Let's make it 30/70. I'll take 30 and you'll take 70."
"..." These words confused Xin Lan again.
In this day and age, there are still people who don’t take advantage of opportunities!
I proposed a 50-50 split, but she insisted on 30-70?
Seeing her expression, Lin Jiaojiao explained with a smile, "I promised to provide design drawings every month. If you have any design questions, you can come to me, but I won't be involved in anything else. A 30% to 70% split is reasonable."
"Don't worry, as long as you are willing to provide the design drawings, that will be enough for me!"
Xin Lan looked at Lin Jiaojiao. For some reason, he always felt that this woman had an inexplicable temperament, different from anyone he had ever met.
She had a hunch that if she could cooperate with Lin Jiaojiao, she would definitely become more and more popular in the future!
