Jiang Manyue took out some of the best pieces of cloth and laid them out for them to choose from.
Although these officers' wives came from wealthy families, they had never worn cheongsams.
Soon the three of them were overwhelmed and couldn't make a choice at all.
At this time, the importance of the designer must be highlighted, and a piece of dark blue brocade jumps out from it.
Brocade is a luxurious silk fabric with exquisite patterns and bright colors, which is very suitable for making high-end cheongsam.
Moreover, the material has a smooth surface and thick texture, which can reflect the gorgeousness and solemnity of cheongsam.
It is very suitable for people of Chen Huilan's age, and this royal blue color also makes her look more stable.
"Aunt Chen, what do you think of this piece?"
Chen Huilan came back to her senses and touched the soft fabric: "Oh, this material feels so good!"
"If this is made into a cheongsam and worn on the body, it will be really beautiful."
"The weather will be cooler in a couple of days, so this thicker brocade will probably be more suitable."
Zhang Lingyun also nodded: "As expected of a fashion designer, Man Yue has good taste."
Liu Sanmei agreed: "Sister Chen, this material suits you very well. It fits your temperament very well."
After Jiang Manyue's recommendation and explanation, Chen Huilan nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, I think it's good too."
"But I'm still worried. You see, I'm much fatter than you. Will it look bad in it?"
Jiang Manyue looked at her carefully: "Aunt Chen, you are not fat."
"In fact, if you want a cheongsam to look good when worn, it mainly depends on the person's temperament."
"Beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin. If you are too thin, you can't support the beauty of cheongsam."
"Aunt Chen, your skin is fair and round. This cheongsam will suit you very well."
"Really?" Chen Huilan felt satisfied after hearing this. This wave of emotional value was enough.
In her previous life, she also served clients with that scumbag Ma Xiangyang, so naturally she was able to flatter him just right.
"This blue material is indeed suitable for you. I will design it for you and guarantee that it will amaze everyone."
Jiang Manyue immediately handed her the album: "I have a lot of cheongsam designs here."
“You start by choosing the model and style and seeing if there’s anything you like.”
As they spoke, the three of them flipped through the design album and hand-painted various cheongsam styles.
There are so many styles that it’s dizzying, and you can hear people exclaiming from time to time.
"Oh my, why are all the things in here so beautiful? I can't see them all."
"I've seen this style before. The wife of the North China Commander was wearing it during the annual meeting at the headquarters."
"Yes, that's right. She was even pretentious at the time, saying that she had hired a designer from Beijing to make it custom-made."
Three women make a drama, especially when shopping, they are even more indecisive.
Fortunately, with Jiang Manyue's recommendation, Chen Huilan finally decided on the style.
She insisted on customizing a similar style to that of the North China Commander's wife. It turns out that women in all eras are the same.
It seemed like they always compared themselves with each other, which made Jiang Manyue couldn't help laughing.
After some discussion, Jiang Manyue designed it on the spot according to her body shape and measured her size.
Chen Huilan looked very satisfied: "Man Yue, I like this design very much!"
"My son is getting married on the 8th of next month. Can you make this cheongsam in advance?"
There are still more than twenty days, which is not a problem at all for Jiang Manyue.
"Don't worry, it can definitely be done in advance. I will come to you to try it on when the time comes."
"If there is anything you are not satisfied with, we can revise it for you."
With Jiang Manyue’s service attitude, who dares to say that they haven’t received God-like service?
"Yes! Good!" Chen Huilan nodded happily: "How much does it cost to customize this cheongsam?"
Jiang Manyue did a simple calculation: "The fabric is 68 yuan, and the design and labor costs are 32 yuan."
"Auntie Chen, just give me 100 yuan."
You have to know that a custom-made piece in a ready-made clothing store costs at least one or two hundred yuan, so her price is already very affordable.
After all, the price of fabric is not cheap, it is definitely worth the money.
Chen Huilan didn't even blink: "As long as you do a good job, even 200 yuan will do."
As expected, she is the commander's wife. She is very decisive when it comes to spending.
In those days, the salary of an ordinary employee was only 30 or 40 yuan, but Lin's father, as a military commander, earned a little over 100 yuan.
It costs hundreds of yuan to make a cheongsam, so it is definitely for high-spending VIP customers.
Jiang Manyue didn't expect to get a big order on the first day of opening.
Once this cheongsam is finished, her market for custom-made clothing will be opened up.
Seeing Chen Huilan having her cheongsam custom-made, Zhang Lingyun and Liu Sanmei were filled with envy.
The two of them spent a long time together but still hadn't bought anything they wanted.
"Man Yue, do you have a suitable coat for me?"
"Of course!" Jiang Manyue understood what she meant.
"Auntie, do you want a custom-made one, or one designed by me for ladies?"
"Haha!" Zhang Lingyun smiled and waved his hands: "Although the custom-made ones are good, they are not convenient for us to wear."
Got it! This means custom-made ones are too expensive.
Jiang Manyue understood immediately and took the initiative to recommend: "Aunt Zhang, Aunt Liu."
"I have a lot of windbreakers and coats on this floor, all of them are pretty good."
"These styles are all designed by me personally. Even state-owned clothing stores don't sell them."
"I'll take you two down there and take a look so you can choose carefully."
The first step in doing business is to understand the needs of customers. She took the three of them to the lobby on the first floor.
