The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 266

Chapter 266 

“This design combines vintage vibes with abstract art elements, topped off with a high–waisted full skirt. It’s artsy and formal simultaneously, giving off a really classy vibe.” 

“I’m curious how it would look on.” 

“Alright, it’s showtime!” The host walked onto the stage, “Now, we’ll go in order. Designers or their assistants will strut their stuff on the stage wearing the dresses they’ve designed themselves. Our judges and audience will score them on the spot. The top three scorers will move on to the third round! Number three, get ready.” Backstage. 

Arabella handed the dress to Molly, “You’re up this time.” 

“Me?” Molly shook her head nervously, “I can’t.” 

Part of the reason they aced the first round was because of Arabella’s beauty and aura. 

If Molly took the stage, their chances for the top three might go down the drain. 

Arabella spoke calmly, “You can do it. Believe in yourself. 

“Bella.” 

“There’s no time.” 

Molly, with her defined features and innocent look, seemed to be missing something after putting on the vintage dress. 

It was as if her presence couldn’t quite hold up such an elegant dress. 

Arabella gave her a vintage wavy updo, used side swept bangs to flatter her face shape, and added bright makeup and bold red lips. Not only did it brighten her up and boost her aura, but it also created a strong visual impact. 

Arabella picked out a pair of pearl earrings for her. Now, her femininity was highlighted, and Molly looked alluring and charming. 

She looked like a top socialite from the Victorian era. 

“Let’s give a warm welcome to designer number three. On stage, the second round of the show officially started. 

The applause from the audience was like waves, never–ending. 

Designer number three walked onto the stage in a black and white dress. Although her makeup was on point and her presence strong, the judges felt disappointed. “This black and white piece is quite expressive, but the top part is too tight. Despite the designer being slim, it still reveals a bit of her tummy. Imagine how it would look on an average person.” 

“And the backless, waist–revealing design lowers the dress class. 

“Back fat is exposed, not a pretty sight.” 

“I can only give five points. These five are for her painting skills. The design itself is too common.” 

The third designer bowed to thank the judges and the audience for their scores, and it was time for the fourth designer to take the stage. 

“Strapless, full skirt, flowers blooming on the skirt, good painting skills.” 

“Has curves when viewed from the side, but overall quite ordinary, no novel design.”
