Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

Mr. Chen fell in love with an improved version of cheongsam at a glance.

Xu Wanning only drew the general outline of the clothes. As for the patterns, there were no embellishments. This required Mr. Chen to choose the fabrics and patterns himself.

"I do this."

Xu Wanning nodded and pointed to the room on the right, "The fabrics are all in that room. Mr. Chen, you can choose the right ones. You can use these six sewing machines as you like. When you are done, take them out and show them to me."

As for Chen Jianbin, he chose a suit style clothes.

Nowadays, most gay men still wear Chinese tunic suits, and suits are relatively rare. China is not prosperous, so the products sold in friendship stores or department stores are basically foreign goods, with small quantities and relatively expensive prices.

"I've made tunic suits, but I haven't made suits yet. I want to give it a try."

Xu Wanning's eyes fell on the other party, "For a suit to be straight, the production requirements are relatively high."

Chen Jianbin hesitated for a while, then said in a deep voice: "I want to give it a try."

"Of course you can." Xu Wanning pointed to another room, "The fabrics for making suits are all in this room, you can choose by yourself."

There are both men's and women's suits, but Chen Jianbin chose the men's suit.

While waiting for the Chen family and his son to make clothes, Mother Lin picked up several other design drawings.

The more she looked at her, the brighter her eyes became, "Aning, you painted these? Why are they so beautiful?"

Xu Wanning is not a professional fashion designer. These designs are drawn based on the styles she bought in her previous life or saw on the Internet. They are relatively simple, but compared to the clothes in the 1980s, they are quite good-looking. .

"I plan to make high-end customized clothes." Xu Wanning explained: "I do not plan to continue the strategy I formulated at Zhang Yuling's tailor shop."

Rather than letting customers design their own designs, it would be better for her to draw the design, let the customer choose the style, and then have the tailor take the measurements and make the clothes that best fit the figure.

Whether it's a men's or women's model, it operates like this.

As for the collision?

For people who had just started reform and opening up in the 1980s, wearing the same clothes was more proof that it was a trend.

About an hour later, Mr. Chen finished the cheongsam.

The style of this cheongsam is more like the new Chinese style cheongsam that was improved in later generations. Compared with the cheongsam that was popular decades ago, it can better modify the figure.

As soon as Mr. Chen took it out, Xu Wanning knew that Mr. Chen's craftsmanship was much better than the advanced customization of later generations. He didn't even need to try it on. Just by hanging it there, Xu Wanning felt that it would definitely attract a large number of people.

Seeing Xu Wanning staring at the cheongsam without saying anything, Mr. Chen, who was very confident in his craftsmanship, couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"Xu...Boss Xu, how do you think I made this cheongsam?"

"Very good." Xu Wanning said: "Mr. Chen, I have bought more than 20 kinds of fabrics of different materials and colors. Can you see if they can all be made into this style of cheongsam?"

The styles of cheongsam are similar, so there is no need to draw a separate design drawing. Different materials and fabrics can produce the same style, but the effect on the upper body is different.

For example, if you have a gentle and elegant temperament, like your sister-in-law Chen Ye, light-colored fabrics are suitable.

For someone like Lin Quan who is more cheerful and lively, a slightly brighter color is more suitable.

Mr. Chen frowned and said softly: "I did a rough count when I went in. There are six kinds of fabrics in your place that are more suitable for making cheongsam. Silk, cotton and linen, Xiangyun gauze, velvet, acetic acid and antique Satin. Depending on the material, the suitable styles are different.”

"In terms of collars alone, there are four types: square and round collars, petal collars, tube collars and square stand collars. Square and round collars are further divided into no-kun edge, single-kun edge and single-kun edge; petal collars are divided into... In addition to this In addition, there are half-front, full-front and inverted sleeves..."

Mr. Chen has a lot of research on cheongsam, and he will talk endlessly once the topic is opened.

In her previous life, Xu Wanning liked cheongsams and bought them often, but they were basically made from factories. As long as the style and pattern were good-looking, she couldn't help but want to buy them. She didn't know much about cheongsams.

Listening to Mr. Chen's analysis, Xu Wanning felt that she had indeed found the boss.

"I really don't know as much about the research on cheongsam as you, Mr. Chen. Let's do this. You can make a few cheongsams based on different fabrics and patterns, and I will give you a commission of ten yuan for each piece."

Making a cheongsam is not difficult. For Mr. Chen, it is easy to make. He can make one in just over an hour.

Based on the speed at which he can do three items a day, he can earn at least thirty yuan a day, a month...

This is quite a bit of income!

Although Mr. Chen is an experienced tailor, tailors are not very popular at the moment, so Mr. Chen has skills, but he really doesn’t have much savings.

"Boss Xu, I can make cheongsam, but this size..."

"Just make it according to mine." Xu Wanning said: "Measure my size and make it according to my size. When it is done, we will show it to you."

Because the styles of cheongsam are all similar at first glance, it is difficult to choose the one you like based on the design drawings.

If the finished product is there, customers can choose the style based on the fabric.

"I just saw that each fabric has more than three or four patterns. In this way, I will choose the one that suits you best, and then hang it up for people to choose. When you come into the store, you can choose the fabric and Style, and then choose the pattern according to your own preferences, is that okay?”

"Of course, you are a professional in this area, just listen to you."

All the materials were available in Xu Wanning's tailor shop. Mr. Chen found a soft ruler and drawing chalk and began to measure Xu Wanning's dimensions.

After checking the size, he took Xu Wanning to the room where the fabrics were kept.

"The fabrics you have here are all scattered randomly. I will sort them out now and put them into categories according to different materials. Then you can choose the pattern you like in each category."

"Row."

Xu Wanning loved buying clothes in her previous life, and since she had a best friend who was a fashion designer, she kept her clothes in several wardrobes.

But due to professional reasons, she most often wears more comfortable styles with a chef's coat on top. Many clothes are hung in the closet without even having time to remove the tags.

Customizing cheongsam, and customizing six or seven pieces at one time, is a very novel experience for Xu Wanning, so she has been selecting fabrics.

Thinking of the popular pin-up girls in her previous life, Xu Wanning also chose a fabric with a yellow and green large flower pattern.
