Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 1078

Chapter 1078 Embroidering A Wedding Dress

Melanie couldn't help but feel a sudden sense of unease as she met Bailey's confident gaze.

This woman has never earned her place in the embroidery industry, so how does she dare to look down on everyone? Have I missed something crucial? No, it can't be. It must be Zara, that cunning woman, who allied herself with Bailey beforehand and attempted to leverage her influence to coerce me into surrender. If I show fear now, I'd be falling right into Zara's trap. Until everything is settled, I can't afford to falter, let alone admit defeat. Perhaps this is just a tactic to unsettle me. I must not fall for it!

With that thought in mind, she said, “Is that so? Ms. Jefferson, it seems your embroidery skills are truly exceptional. I'll be looking forward to it, then. Hopefully, you won't disappoint me. There are countless pairs of eyes watching, after all.”

Bailey simply chuckled in response.

In her eyes, Melanie was nothing more than a buffoon.

Even though she's quite attractive, she clearly lacks intelligence. Women like her aren't worth my words. What a disappointment.

The competition lasted for an hour, allowing participants to create spontaneously, with the jury ultimately selecting the best participant.

Bailey hadn't practiced embroidery for over two years. Although she hastily mended a piece using the Yrinasion embroidery stitching a moment ago, her skills felt somewhat rusty as she entered the competition.

Melanie couldn't help but sneer inwardly when she saw how Bailey was standing dazedly in front of the desk, looking utterly clueless about what to do next.

I knew it! There's simply no way a last-minute contestant can defy the odds. This woman is merely banking on her family's wealth and connections. Too bad the Shurmer family isn't the one holding all the cards today. With so many guests present and a professional judging panel, some of whom have benefited from the Strasson family's favors, I can't fathom how Bailey could possibly turn the tide and emerge victorious in this scenario.

“Ms. Jefferson, it appears you're struggling to find inspiration, huh? Why not take a break, maybe get some sleep?” she mocked.

Bailey ignored her, fixing her gaze on the plain brocade on the table. She began tracing the pattern she had envisioned onto the fabric as if the world around her had faded into nothingness.

She wanted to embroider a wedding dress, one in a vivid shade of red.

She envisioned a vintage-style dress, adorned with a golden phoenix gracefully soaring amidst intricate patterns. The silk threads expertly captured an aura of elegance, precisely embodying the image she had envisioned in her mind.

Since it was her wedding dress, it was only natural that she designed it herself.

Every detail, from the design and color to the intricate patterns and embroidery technique, had to be personally overseen by her.

Once the dimensions were marked, she began the meticulous process of threading the needle and guiding the threads.

With limited time on her hands, it was impossible for her to intricately embroider an entire bridal gown on the silk fabric. Instead, she focused on outlining a rough draft, capturing the essence of her vision as much as time allowed.

She utilized the silk fabric in her hands as the foundational material for the bridal gown, meticulously embroidering a framework onto it and then focusing on crafting the pattern of Morning Gathering of a Hundred Birds.

The essence of embroidery lies in the patterns adorning the fabric of a garment, which is typically crafted from a single, unbroken piece of material.

In the span of an hour, Bailey could have embroidered a peony, a phoenix, a porcelain artifact, or even a scenic landscape on the fabric. However, she decided to push herself by attempting the initial draft of a bridal gown in this constrained time.

The complexity of such craftsmanship suggested that it was practically impossible to finish within an hour.

Despite that, when she was learning embroidery from Yrina, she developed a groundbreaking technique that not only cut down the time required but also maintained a high level of craftsmanship, aiming for perfection.

Time was slipping away, with every second ticking by, and the guests around her were all eagerly anticipating the outcome.

At first, many doubted Bailey's abilities, dismissing her as a last-minute addition forced onto the stage by the Yrina family. They believed she lacked true talent and substance.
