Ava exhaled softly Even in her own time, few artisans still practiced these intangible cultural heritage techniques. That was why brocade fabrics commanded exorbitant prices.

“Silk would work,” Austin said. “With quality fabric, it’ll look elegant.” He noticed Ava’s sudden melancholy

Jane whispered, “Be sure. Silk dresses are brutally unforgiving. Few achieve that classic beauty–most attempts fail

Of course, Ava understood. Just thinking about it made things clear. In this world, after generations of genetic modification, humans now resembled characters from a two–dimensional universe. Colorful, stylized figures in silk dresses felt disjointed, no matter how she imagined it.

In her past life, reality had proven only those from the Central Lineage truly embodied that distinctive grace

Doubt flickered in Ava’s mind. Her features were unmistakably Central Lineage–a rarity in this era. She couldn’t guess who her parents were.

“This style, then.” Ava pointed to one of the displayed designs, a traditional wide–sleeved silk dress made using ancient techniques. “I’d like to try a muted color. I like green–it’s something I could even wear day to day.”

Jane started, but Gerard squeezed her hand. “It’s Ava’s party. We can advise, not choose for her.”

Jane rested her head on his shoulder. “I knew she was unique. Her taste isn’t mainstream.”

Austin was the museum director and a recognized expert in antique garment–making. As age caught up with him, he rarely crafted pieces by hand anymore.

When Asnio asked him to create a coming–of–age dress for a young lady who had just become an adult, Austin felt hesitant He worried it might not suit her and feared ruining his own craftsmanship.

Yet, out of respect for their mentor–disciple bond, he hadn’t refused outright. Instead, he insisted on meeting her first. That ed to today’s meeting.

Now, Austin’s interest has exploded. He immediately proposed they visit his home, where he would unveil his cherished “abins Jor her to select.

He was willing to waive the handcrafted fee entirely. His only request was to take a couple of photographs once finished piece.

He wanted to display them in the museum to answer those who mocked such designs as ugly and to plows that what classical fashion had been the pinnacle of style

The group soon reached Austin’s house its southern Riverlands elegans & appars of Ava Juil renewed
