Chapter 458: Guan Taoâs Customized Dress
Everyone looked into the box at the same time. Xia Qinghuan stood up and craned her neck.
What entered her eyes was a dark blue item. It looked like gauze, but also like silk.
Jian Ai was stunned, and her eyes were filled with shock.
She reached into the box and carefully took it out. Jian Ai stood up from her seat and opened the piece of a blue item in front of everyone. A dark blue evening gown was revealed in front of everyone.
It was an off-shoulder design with exquisite creases. The waist was tight, and the back was made of a translucent blue muslin material. A ten-centimeter silk mesh was used to hold up the skirt, making the bottom of the dress appear fluffy and elegant. The gown was so long that it reached Jian Aiâs ankles. At the bottom of the skirt were hand-stitched gold and silver sequins. It served as the finishing touch for the skirt, making it even lighter.
The entire gown was dark blue, and the material had a good texture. Coupled with the sparkling highlights at the bottom of the skirt and the translucent gauze design on the back, the entire skirt was elegant and generous, dignified but not heavy. Most importantly, the dark blue highlighted that it was high class and not old-fashioned. Everything was perfectly balanced, like the long gowns that celebrities would wear on the red carpet.
Everyoneâs eyes widened, especially Jian Ai and Xia Qinghuan. They sighed in their hearts. This dress was too beautiful!
After a while, Qinghuan retracted her half-open mouth and looked at Guan Tao in surprise. âGuan Tao, did you win the lottery? This dress is expensive, right?â
It was not Xia Qinghuanâs fault for saying that. Everyone knew Guan Taoâs familyâs situation, and this was not an ordinary dress. It was the design of an evening gown.
The dark blue material was exceptionally smooth and textured. One could tell at a glance that the bright sequins sewn at the bottom of the skirt were handmade. This was not a casual evening gown worth a few thousand yuan. It was definitely not cheap.
Jian Ai was also shocked. She looked up at Guan Tao and asked, âGuan Tao, tell me the truth. How much did you spend on this dress?!â
It was naturally impolite to ask others about the value of a gift, but their relationship had long exceeded these taboos.
At this moment, Jian Aiâs heart ached, and she was angry. With her relationship with Guan Tao, even if she didnât give her anything, she wouldnât have any other thoughts. However, it was the opposite. One could tell that this dress was expensive. Most importantly, it was a custom-made evening dress. It was likely that she wouldnât even have the chance to wear it.
It was too wasteful!
However, just as everyone thought that this dress would be worth thousands of yuan, Guan Tao shrunk her neck in embarrassment and said, â
ThisâŠ
?I made it myselfâŠâ
Everyone was shocked!
Huh
?
Did Guan Tao make this herself?
âGuan Tao, you made this?â Yan Tianâs eyeballs were about to fly out. After asking, he even looked at Guan Tao with emphasis. â
You
? You yourself?â
âHow is that possible?â Xia Qinghuanâs shock was not inferior to Yan Tianâs. âThis outfit is a high-end custom-made one!â
The design, the material of the clothes, the creases on the collar, and the handmade sequins on the hemline were all perfect, just like the ones models in the display window wore.
Everyoneâs reaction was too intense, making Guan Tao shrink her neck shyly before explaining, âMy mother works at the clothing factory and often takes home some fabrics that were abandoned in the factory. I saw that this dark blue silk was beautiful, so I made a dress for Xiao Ai.â
