Moreover, Yi Qingqing usually wears relatively loose clothes. She only started to pay attention to her dressing this year, but she only wore skirts that showed off her slim waist in the summer. She only knew that she had developed well, but had never looked at herself from this complete perspective.
If that made-up face wasn't definitely hers, Yi Qingqing wouldn't have dared to recognize her.
She narcissistically felt that she was very worthy of the words used in her previous life to describe a cheongsam beauty.
"My hair is tied up high, I am graceful, my breath is as fragrant as orchid, and I am full of charm. Wow! I am so beautiful!"
Yi Qingqing said conceitedly.
She felt that she had fallen in love with looking in the mirror. When she had the means later, she would buy a large dressing mirror outside. It was so beautiful. It would be a pity if she didn't look at herself in it every day!
The only drawback is that she is not used to wearing high heels, and her walking is crooked and a little funny.
But it got better after a while of getting used to it.
Mainly because of her figure and temperament, cheongsam is really suitable for her, and this outfit fully shows her advantages.
She went to book the sign-in location of the old tailor shop! The old tailor in Hai City will definitely make cheongsams!
Now cheongsam is still a feudal dregs, but it will get better in a few years, and by then I will definitely be able to find places selling it.
But if she can make it herself, and she can also draw, it is much better than buying it. After all, if she makes it herself, it can be completely in line with her own preferences.
After admiring myself, I felt like a curious baby visiting a historical building, looking here and touching there.
She also refused the teacher's instruction and was allowed to perform on the stage. I have to say, the beauty was really pleasing to the eyes.
Although she didn't plan to learn the singing and dancing skills here, it was still very nice to come and watch the performance occasionally. Who doesn't like beauties? There are beauties not only on the stage, but also on the dance floor.
After enjoying an hour or so in the "Paramount", Yi Qingqing left the singing and dancing skills teaching mode and went to take other skill courses.
The next day, Yi Qingqing and Yun Guyuan went out again to sign in at the remaining two places.
[Sign in at the old tailor shop in Haishi Lane to gain sewing skills. New sewing skill teaching courses have been loaded.]
[Sign in at the Haishi Chenghuang Temple sign-in location to receive a talisman to ward off evil spirits]
After having lunch outside at noon, the two returned to the guesthouse. Yi Qingqing then took a closer look at the two things she had obtained when signing in in the morning.
The first thing she looked at was the talisman to ward off evil spirits. It was a piece of yellow talisman paper folded into a triangle, and red cinnabar runes could be faintly seen on it.
[Evil-repelling talisman: A talisman paper with a trace of the old city god's magical power. Carrying it with you can ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters, and prevent the invasion of evil spirits]
It really is a talisman paper similar to the harvest talisman, but it is not very useful. It is used to ward off evil spirits.
According to A Yuan, humans and ghosts are two separate entities with clear boundaries. Even evil ghosts stranded in the human world cannot have much impact on reality.
This world is truly devoid of spiritual energy, and ghosts and monsters will not pose much of a threat to humans. It is impossible for them to kill people. At most, they may develop minor illnesses due to long-term exposure to negative energy.
What's more, Yi Qingqing is a traditional paper craftsman and incense maker. The paper products he burned before were of good quality and he has gained some fame in the underworld. People who have been engaged in these industries for a long time have a kind of aura that can avoid harassment from ghosts.
So this talisman is better than nothing to her.
Then she clicked on the sewing skill.
【Sewing skills teaching mode】
[Flower Entwined Branches (Level 2 92%)]
[Tian Shuhua (Level 5 15%)]
It was another level 5 course. After entering, it was the alley where she signed in. In reality, the tailor shop was no longer there, and the tailor master might no longer be alive.
Section 206
At this moment in the skill teaching mode, a tailor shop appeared. A middle-aged woman wearing a dark blue cheongsam sat in the shop, sewing something at the desk.
Her figure and appearance are just average, but she has a calm and peaceful temperament, which gives people a very good feeling.
There are also many ready-made clothes hanging in the store, including cheongsams, long gowns, Mao suits, as well as suits and Western dresses, but the most common ones are cheongsams.
It seems that this is really a tailor who is good at making cheongsams, which is exactly what Yi Qingqing wants.
"Why are you dressed like this? It would be a shame if you don't wear a cheongsam with your figure!" Master Tian said the first thing he said when he looked up at her.
Yi Qingqing thought that Master Tian was praising her. Her judgment yesterday was indeed correct. Her aesthetic taste was still online. She was indeed suitable for wearing a cheongsam. She smiled and said, "I am here to learn how to make a cheongsam from you. Please teach me!"
…
When Yi Qingqing came out of the sewing skill teaching mode, she had gained a lot. The sewing skill progress that had not improved for a long time suddenly increased by 5%, getting closer and closer to level 3.
Master Tian is an old tailor from the Republic of China period. She is from Ningbo and has inherited the craft from her ancestors. She later studied fashion design abroad. Therefore, she can not only make traditional Chinese clothing, but also suits and dresses. She also dabbles in skirts that combine Eastern and Western elements. However, her favorite and what she is best at is the cheongsam.
Granny Hua is good at sewing comfortable and easy-to-wear clothes and shoes, while Master Tian not only pays attention to the comfort of the clothes, but is also good at combining the characteristics of each person to make clothes that highlight the person's beauty.
The clothes she made look beautiful when hung and even more beautiful when worn by their owners. Her designs are truly people-centered. She has always emphasized to Yi Qingqing: "People wear clothes, not clothes wear people."
So the ready-made clothes hanging in her store are not actually for sale, they are just samples. She only accepts orders for custom-made clothes and does not sell ready-made clothes.
Even if it is the same style, different cuts can give off different feelings on different people.
She took Yi Qingqing to see a cloakroom in the attic of the shop. Inside were all her proudest works, basically women's clothing, mostly cheongsams. Each piece was a fine product, and Yi Qingqing wanted to take it away.
With Master Tian around, it was no problem for Yi Qingqing to learn sewing skills and make beautiful clothes for herself, and it even exceeded her expectations.
From then on, Master Tian’s classes were also included in Yi Qingqing’s study plan.
In a few years, in the 1980s, when there were more movie and television stars, people started to dress more freely. At that time, she could use what she learned from this skill to dress herself up.
I have relatively more time, so the time I arrange for study is not much, just enough to cover the time for musical instruments, painting and calligraphy skills.
She first learned how to cut dresses and Mao suits, because if dresses were simplified, they wouldn't be too unusual to wear nowadays. After she had learned the basics, she would make one for each of her sisters next summer so that they could wear them out together. This was the style of the past and would not arouse Li Mengxue's suspicion.
As for the Zhongshan suit, it is the birthday gift that Yi Qingqing is going to give to Ayuan next year. I think he will look very energetic in it.
