This sewing shop is also interesting. It actually uses "hundred years" as its name.
The store is still open next to the department store.
I don’t know if it’s a real century or a fake century.
At the front desk of the sewing shop, a workbench and rows of mannequins were built. The mannequins were dressed in several popular women's clothes.
There is an old man and a young man in the store, one is the boss and the other is the waiter.
In addition, there is a young woman wearing a red cheongsam.
The young woman permed her hair, put on foundation and lipstick, and looked very fashionable.
Jiang Ning also noticed that she was wearing a pair of lambskin high heels.
Those shoes seemed to be hand-made and cost about a hundred yuan.
The young woman exuded the aura of a wealthy person from her hair to her toes, and now her beautiful face was filled with anger.
"I spent five hundred yuan to buy this fabric from Sioux City. It is made of natural silk and has embroidery patterns. It is the only one in the country. It is unique! It took you more than a month to make a cheongsam. Say, it’s still done like this?! I don’t think you should close this shop!”
While she was getting angry, she pulled the cheongsam she was wearing.
Jiang Ning just glanced at it.
I immediately saw the problem.
The bust size of the cheongsam is made smaller, which presses the chest.
The waistline is enlarged and looks baggy.
The most important thing about a cheongsam is that it must be tailor-made to fit the curves of the body perfectly.
Only in this way can a woman's charming charm be best shown.
But this cheongsam is a complete failure.
The boss and the waiter in the tailor shop immediately nodded and apologized.
"Miss Gu, I'm sorry! We didn't do it well, so don't be angry first. This cheongsam needs to be modified several times, and our master's craftsmanship must be fine. Just adjust the details again, and we will change it now - "
"Who are you fooling?! When I was in Shanghai, I made so many cheongsams. When did I ever make such a mistake? It's simply because your master's skills are not good! Just like this, why do you call it a century-old tailor shop? I You can smash this sign!"
Jiang Ning heard this.
It can be regarded as identifying the identity of the young woman.
It turned out to be a young lady from a wealthy family in Shanghai. No wonder she liked cheongsam and was very wealthy.
The young women were so angry that they threatened to destroy the store.
Now, things really got serious.
The boss and the waiter begged for mercy again and again.
"Miss Gu, calm down. It's...our master didn't do it well. We'll redo it for you without charging you any money."
"Haha, does this lady care about money? Didn't you hear clearly just now? There is only one piece of silk cloth in the country, and you can't pay it back even if you have money!"
Seeing that things were getting louder and louder, many people gathered around to watch.
Just at this time.
Jiang Ning stood up from the crowd and walked into the tailor shop.
She said to the tense crowd.
"I know how to be a tailor, why don't you let me try? I can change it now."
As soon as this statement came out.
The young woman, the owner of the tailor shop, turned her head in unison.
The moment their eyes fell on Jiang Ning, astonishment flashed in their eyes.
How dare a young man, with an air of immaturity and a large rough basket on his back, say such words.
"just you……?"
The shop owner was the first to speak out. His expression clearly looked down on Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning did not flinch at all. Instead, he continued to speak in the face of everyone's questioning eyes.
"This cheongsam must have been ruined by this old master's craftsmanship. Since it has been ruined, why not let me try it. I have confidence in my craftsmanship and believe that I can bring it back to life without ruining it like this. Nice silk fabric.”
As Jiang Ning spoke, her delicate and fair face exuded incomparable light.
Especially her eyes, confident and firm.
After all, she spent three years learning the intangible cultural heritage craftsmanship from a master who made cheongsam.
It's also time for people to see what she's capable of.
The store owner still refused to agree.
He has the considerations of a businessman. If Jiang Ning cannot save this cheongsam and cannot change the status quo, both of them will lose;
If Jiang Ning saved this cheongsam, then it was because of the poor craftsmanship of their tailor shop's master, which completely ruined the shop's reputation.
You are losing inside and out, and everything you do is wrong.
Why should he bother with this?
but.
The young woman who had been looking at Jiang Ning with a frown was shocked by the calm confidence in Jiang Ning's eyes.
Even now, she couldn't tell from Jiang Ning that she had any skills.
But he was involuntarily attracted to Jiang Ning and wanted to believe what she said.
"I'll give you this chance."
The young woman nodded in agreement.
Jiang Ning's eyes were bright and her smile was bright, "Miss Gu, I will never let you down."
"Gu Qingwan, my name."
Gu Qingwan was just as direct as when she was angry, and said her name neatly.
Then she walked to the dressing room of the sewing shop and changed out of her red cheongsam.
While Gu Qingwan was changing clothes.
The first thing Jiang Ning did was wash his hands.
When touching silk fabrics, keep your hands clean, and check your palms carefully to see if there are any barbs or anything that could scratch the silk.
If it gets hooked accidentally, it's really a waste of a good thing.
And then.
Jiang Ning borrowed a series of small tools such as scissors, ruler, tweezers, needle and thread from the owner of the tailor shop.
With Gu Qingwan's words.
The tailor shop owner didn't dare not agree, and everything was prepared for Jiang Ning.
When Jiang Ning got the cheongsam, she measured Gu Qingwan's size with a soft ruler, recorded it carefully, and started working on it immediately.
Remove the hemming strips, adjust the waistline position, and cut off the excess fabric...
A series of actions.
Jiang Ning moved smoothly without any pause.
It was as if she had calculated it countless times in her mind, so she could do it so smoothly and naturally.
During this period.
The flow of people outside the store and the voices inside the store could not affect Jiang Ning.
She was completely immersed in her own world, with only the bright red satin fabric in her eyes and the needle and thread in her hand.
The shiny black hair fell down from the side of her face, revealing a bright and gentle face.
Gu Qingwan, who is also a woman, was attracted by Jiang Ning when she saw this scene.
After a while.
Preliminary tailoring adjustments completed.
Jiang Ning picked up a thin sewing needle and threaded a piece of red embroidery thread on. He held the needle and thread with his thin white fingers and gently passed through the fabric...
Drop the needle, pull the thread, and drop the needle again.
Jiang Ning's movements were fast, but the stitches were neat and delicate.
When the red silk thread is tightened, the traces of sewing are almost invisible.
Delicate and flawless.
This is absolutely unparalleled craftsmanship.
Drop the last stitch to finish.
Jiang Ning bit off the thread with his teeth, a beautiful and bright smile appeared on his face, and said softly, "Okay."
