Chapter 20 - Reveal
Laura brings the duo to her fitting room, her room is bigger than their waiting room and the models are covered with white cloth. There are so many draft designs, threads, and clothes scattered on the table.
"Don't mind the room, it is a bit cramped and disorganised" Laura said while scratching her neck awkwardly.
"No Problem" Allora said with a smile.
"It's not cramped and disorganized. It shows how hard you are working. Your workplace defines you Laura. I am sure you will do wonders" Ivy complimented whole heartedly.
Laura felt happy after hearing Ivy's compliment and a smile bloomed on her face. Her heart felt warm and content.
"For your age ceremony, you must require two dresses." Laura went into business mode.
"In the morning, where everyone will visit, you need an elegant and beautiful dress." Laura started looking around for a nice dress. She is observing the models there are tags attached to them.
"You have porcelain skin, with silver hair. To stand out from the crowd who are going to dress more heavily than the host, you need a bright colour." Laura started analysing.
Ivy and Allora are patiently waiting for her while listening to her talk. They didn't touch anything and didn't interrupt her analysis. Laura knows very well about high class society, they dolled up heavily than the host to show off their wealth.
"So to make them awestruck, I have this beautiful dress. Here you go" Laura stated and lifted the cloth.
Allora's eyes widened and a gasp was heard. Ivy eyes also twinkled with excitement, she saw different dress models in her life and this model is truly refreshing in this era.
"WOW, It's pretty" Allora is the one who reacted first.
"Yes, it's truly beautiful Laura," Ivy complimented.
Laura felt happy that they liked it but she felt like Ivy's reaction was not up to her exception. But her smile shows how much she liked it.
Laura presented the Blue Gown with a Cape. The blue gown is simple and its neck is decorated with white gems and it's waist also has a similar design. But the highlight is it's cape. The cape is decorated heavily and it has thin embroidery work with golden threads and it is also studded with multicolour gems.
"Aivyn, would you like to try it," Laura inquired.
"I would love to, but it would be better if you show another dress too." Ivy said with a smile. She asked for another dress so she can try both of them at once and it will be done.
Laura smiled and said "Sure, there are some pieces which I have not completed yet, but this one is really bold. Should I show it?" Laura inquired to know their opinion.
"Sure, I am eager to see your masterpieces," Ivy remarked.
Laura nodded and removed the cloth on one model.
"WOW" Ivy gasped with excitement.
There is one shoulder ombre beaded long dress. Till the waist it is of black colour and the remaining cloth has different orange shades. It is simple, beautiful and revealing.
Allora felt nervous, she is fine with new trends and new styles but revealing is a bit too much. She will encourage her daughter but not everyone will. She is afraid that her debut into society will bring a lot of troubles to her daughter.
"I like it, Laura. I will buy this" Ivy replied.
Before Laura replied, Allora cut in "Ivy, I am happy to buy you this dress but you are not allowed to wear this in the ceremony."
Ivy got confused but suddenly realization hit her. Ivy smiled and said "Okay mom. But I will wear it later."
Allora contemplated for a while and said "Okay"
Ivy beamed with happiness and went to try the dresses. She wore the main dress which fitted her perfectly and she felt the cape was a bit huge for her. Laura promised her to alter the changes.
Laura felt Ivy can bring life to her baby dresses. She got the perfect model for her work and she is excited to work on new designs. When Ivy wore the one shoulder dress Laura words struck in her mouth.
"My god. You carried it very nicely Aivyn. I don't feel a bit of a revealing feeling. You nailed it" Laura complimented by thumbs up.
She thought that Ivy will become shy and thought of covering her skin but here she is walking like she is born for this.
"Thank You" Ivy said.
The daughter and mother took a few more dresses for both of them and Ivy selected a white dress for the evening party.
Their shopping spree went by till evening. The sun set in the horizon by spreading its orange hue and the duo travelled back to the mansion.
When they crossed the gates of their mansion ivy eyes sparkled by the beauty of the mansion. The mansion is heavily lit and it is larger than their mansion in Magna. She fell in love with one look.
Ivy was mesmerized when she looked inside the mansion. She did not observe in a hurry today morning but the interior is marvellous.
The white marble tiles, the golden chandelier, the paintings which hung on the wall, the sofa sets. Each and every piece in the house is artistic and beautiful.
Ivy greeted her father who was in the hall waiting for them.
"Did you both enjoy shopping?" Simon inquired with a smile.
"Yes father," Ivy replied happily.
"Good. Go and freshen up. Will have dinner" Simon added.
Ivy nodded her head and went inside happily.
