Seeing everyone's curious expressions, Meng Zhen didn't keep them in suspense. Since it was still early for dinner, he decided to explain to everyone what true customization was.
So she invited everyone to sit on the sofa and brought out pencils and sketchbooks.
She bought the pen and sketchbook when she was shopping for home furnishings, but she didn't expect them to come in handy so soon.
The gays were curious about what everyone was doing together, so they came over to join in the fun.
There was no space left on the sofa, so they stood next to it, and a crowd of people suddenly gathered in the living room.
Meng Zhen picked up the pen and looked at Huang Shulan across from him: "Director Huang, let's get started. Could you please tell me your daughter-in-law's height and weight first?"
Huang Shulan thought for a moment, "She's 1.62 meters tall, and I think she weighs a little over 100 pounds. The last time I measured her was when I accompanied her for her prenatal checkup."
Thinking of the prenatal checkup, she suddenly slapped her thigh and said, "Oh yes, I still have the measurements she used to make clothes last time at home! Wait, I'll go get them right away."
In this era, it was common to make clothes at a tailor shop or by making clothes yourself, so every household was accustomed to saving the body measurements for use next time they made clothes.
As Huang Shulan was leaving, Meng Zhen said to her, "If you have a photo of your daughter-in-law, remember to bring one too."
So after a while, Huang Shulan brought the dimensions and photos.
After Meng Zhen wrote down the dimensions, he looked at the photo again.
The woman in the photo is petite, wearing a white skirt that reaches just below the knees, a pair of leather sandals with hollow heels, and socks that are pulled up just above the ankles.
She looks like a typical pear-shaped figure.
She has thin arms and a flat chest, but strong calves, and obvious muscle lines can be seen when she wears high heels.
Of course, Meng Zhen certainly couldn't describe the girl's body flaws so bluntly in front of everyone.
I could only say abstractly, "Judging from the photos, your daughter-in-law has a pear-shaped figure. The skirt should ideally be ankle-length, with the upper body raising the waistline and the lower body lengthening. This will make her look taller while also modifying any body flaws."
Someone asked in confusion: "Comrade Meng, what is a pear-shaped figure?"
"A pear-shaped figure is like a pear, just imagine it."
Meng Zhen guided everyone but did not directly point out the physical flaws. Her emotional intelligence was not so low as to publicly belittle the secretary's daughter-in-law.
So a pear appeared in everyone's mind, and when they compared it with the woman in the photo, wow, it really was.
Isn't it just that the upper body is thin and the lower body is a little fat? Comrade Meng is really good at summarizing.
Meng Zhen continued, "Actually, women's body shapes can be categorized as pear-shaped, apple-shaped, hourglass-shaped, and chopstick-shaped."
Then I introduced the characteristics of several types to everyone one by one.
The female comrades nodded repeatedly, and compared with the classification given by Meng Zhen, they quickly found their own body type.
"When designing clothes for different body types, we should also highlight their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. For example, for a pear-shaped figure, the top of the skirt can be as slim as possible, with a tighter waistline to highlight the upper body lines..."
While explaining, Meng Zhen used the pencil in her hand to draw a skirt suitable for a pear-shaped figure.
The neckline is V-shaped and two flowing ribbons are tied into a bow.
The sleeves are made into lantern sleeves, and a few buttons of the same material as the fabric are added to the cuffs to enhance the overall design.
The extremely narrow waistline, combined with the A-line skirt, outlines an excellent waist-to-hip ratio.
Use pleats to increase the drape of the skirt.
A black and white floral dress appears vividly on the paper.
If this painting is preserved in later generations, it will become the original manuscript of the fashion designer.
While Meng Zhen was drawing the design, everyone's mouths were open in an O shape and never closed.
No one realized what had happened until she put down her pen.
Oh my god, what kind of magical dress is this? What kind of magical painting skills are these?
After looking at the pictures, it feels like seeing the finished garments, it’s amazing!
Huang Shulan and Wang Mei had never seen such a beautiful skirt in their entire lives.
Even the Soviet-imported braids sold at the Friendship Department Store weren't half as pretty as this.
How should I put it? I feel like a fairy in heaven when I put it on.
Even people like gay men who don't know how to choose clothes think this skirt is beautiful.
And it's not just the skirt, the painting skills are also quite amazing. With just a few strokes, how can the flowing feeling of the skirt be expressed so vividly?
Huang Shulan was the first to come to her senses. She thought that the skirt was worth the eighty yuan!
"Xiao Meng, just follow this diagram! My daughter-in-law will definitely like it!"
As soon as she opened her mouth, Wang Mei and several other female comrades could no longer sit still.
They don’t have daughters-in-law, but they can wear it themselves!
So Wang Mei waved her hand and said, "Xiao Meng, I want to make one for you too!"
The other two echoed this:
"I want one too!"
“Add me in!”
Meng Zhen’s pretty little face is smiling like a flower. It seems that women love beauty everywhere!
She is good at dressing and making clothes, which makes her even more popular.
"Don't worry, everyone. After dinner, I'll take everyone's measurements and tailor a suitable style based on your style and body shape."
Wang Mei was surprised: "Xiao Meng, you mean to make different clothes for each of us?"
When a tailor shop makes clothes, they basically make multiple pieces of the same style.
Everyone wears the same clothes when they go out.
Xiao Meng actually makes different styles of clothes for everyone?
Meng Zhen's lips dimpled slightly as she said sweetly, "Of course, you're my first customers, so I must give you the most special care!"
