Chapter 24: Clothing for Liora
Enrico, a renowned tailor in the kingdom, walked slowly down the long hallway leading to his workshop. His mind was consumed by the offer he had received just weeks ago—a proposal that had come directly from the Carval family. A job contract to join The Carval Collective, a major company focused on fashion. Enrico was not someone who was easily impressed, but this offer shook both his heart and mind. After years of working independently, perfecting his skills and designing incredible garments for the kingdom's nobility, joining a large collective would limit his creative freedom.
However, such opportunities didn't come twice. The Carval Collective was not just an ordinary fashion company. The Carval family's great name and their wealth would provide a chance to elevate his work to new heights. Enrico knew that working with them would open doors to highly lucrative opportunities.
Today, Enrico felt something urging him to finally make a decision. With steady steps, he opened the door to his workshop and found a design in progress on the table. It was one of the dresses commissioned by the Carval family for Liora's upcoming 13th birthday, just six weeks away.
As he looked at the design, Enrico was taken aback, his eyes widening in awe, almost speechless.
The dress before him was a breathtaking work of art. With the theme "Mermaid Princess," the design blended elegance and grace, radiating luxury while still maintaining a sense of lightness and grandeur. The dress featured a high collar that framed the neck perfectly, yet had a simple and sleek cut at the top. The bodice was delicately layered with fine dark purple silk, giving the impression of wearing a grand and mysterious night sky around the wearer's body.
The bottom of the gown beautifully flared out, forming a mermaid silhouette, like a flowing mermaid tail. The dress had layers of fine silver and light purple lace cascading down to the hem, creating a soft, dramatic effect. Along the waistline, there was an accent of gold ribbons that twisted around, adding elegance while perfecting the form of the gown.
The sparkling details of the dress were evident at the bust and waist, with small golden crystals embedded, creating a shimmering light effect that resembled the reflection of sunlight glinting in Liora's eyes. Each crystal was placed with meticulous precision, ensuring that the gown not only radiated natural beauty but also gave the impression of a magical movement with every step.
A sheer lace overlay, almost translucent, cascaded down the arms, resembling the waves of the ocean coming and going. The sleeves were long yet slender, making every movement of the hands appear graceful and fluid. The dress was completed with high-heeled shoes made from smooth golden leather, with a subtle shimmer at the tips, adding to the overall grandeur of the design.
Enrico stood still for a moment, marveling at the intricate beauty of the dress. In his mind, this design could mark a turning point in the kingdom's fashion world. This gown was not just a piece of clothing; it was a symbol of luxury, elegance, and the strength of a growing princess. The rich dark purple hue suited Liora perfectly, conveying a mysterious aura while still radiating a beautiful light that touched the hearts of anyone who saw it. The golden accents that highlighted her eyes made her appear like a shining star in the night.
"This is an incredible work of art," he murmured, almost unable to believe it. "Is this what Princess Liora will wear? So graceful and powerful in the first impression it creates."
Although Enrico had doubts about the changes that the job offer would bring, he now felt that something bigger was about to happen—something that could bring great recognition to him. This dress was not just for a princess, but for an entire kingdom that would be captivated by Liora's appearance at her birthday celebration. For Enrico, this was the moment he realized that accepting the offer might have been the right choice.
"Yes, I will work for The Carval Collective," he thought with renewed confidence. "This work... this will make a big impact, and I want to be part of this journey."
At that moment, Enrico picked up his pen and began writing a note to respond to the offer. Finally, he was ready to move forward, with all the possibilities ahead of him.
