In other words, the designers of the dress were the only ones capable of coming up with the most suitable makeup to go along with their masterpiece.
Natalie managed to doll Sally up within a short period of time since the white dress of hers had a relatively simple theme. Thus, only simple eye makeup would do—no ostentatious makeup was required to complement the masterpiece.
As soon as Natalie finished dolling Sally up, she handed over her dress to Sally.
The model gaped at the sight of the dress. She exclaimed breathlessly, “It’s so pretty, Nat!” “You need to get going right now. Get yourself changed immediately! We only have fifteen minutes left until the show!” Natalie stuffed the dress in between Sally’s arms once she finished her sentence.
Sally nodded and sprinted over in the direction of the fitting room. Similarly, the rest of the models rushed over to the fitting room once the designers got their makeup done.
The sequence had been determined through drawing lots. Sally was the fortieth amongst the rest of the models. There was nothing special about it since she was in the middle of the rest.
However, Natalie was grateful that Sally wasn’t one of the last few for the show. Otherwise, it would be tough to please the judges after the countless ostentatious pieces portrayed.
The judges might be biased unless there was an exceptional masterpiece that could impress them by the end of the session.
Jessie, whose model was the eighty-fourth to show up, was irritated.
Natalie noticed Sally had her eyes glued to the runway once she returned. Thus, the former urged, “Just take it easy and have fun.”
In an attempt to calm herself, Sally clenched her fists with all her might. She then reassured Natalie, “I’m not nervous at all! Instead, I can’t wait for my turn! I can’t believe I have the chance to be part of this glamorous event!”
“Well, I’m glad you’re doing just fine.” Natalie heaved a sigh of relief and urged Sally for one last time, “Do your best! I’ll return to the hall and join the rest of the audience.”
As a fellow designer, it was a great opportunity for her to learn from her peers and get a grasp of her potential competitors’ capabilities.
She wasn’t the only one with that thought. In fact, most of the designers had departed. Only a mere few chose to stay behind with their models.
Sally beckoned Natalie to leave her and assured, “You need to get going already! I’ll be fine!”
