232 [side story] Dress and tablecloth...

"What the hell is this? It's amazing!

The women who went to Masaru's workshop were astonished to see Masaru in earnest.

I've never seen such a fine silk fabric with finely embroidered flowers and butterflies floating in the light. .... I've never seen anything like it.

The white embroidery is layered on top of the white fabric so that the skirt, which at first glance appears to be just a white dress, reveals the detailed embroidery when the light hits it. In this world of clothing, embroidery is basically a choice between plant patterns such as flowers in colors that don't interfere with the fabric, or flashy patterns in colors that stand out against the fabric.

They do not often include living things in their patterns or use the same color thread. In the first place, if you embroider on a rough cloth in the same color, you cannot tell what it is.

This is why you are told to change your clothes before entering the workshop: .......... I'm sorry.

They had heard that Masaru was making a dress and had come to help, but they had been unable to get their hands on the dress, which was based on a slender-line dress with a s*xy off-the-shoulder neckline and a lot of intricate embroidery, a rarity even in modern Japan. .

What do you think, .........?

There's nothing we can do to help you with this. .......... I don't think we can help you with this.

I mean, it's out of my hands. .......... I can't help you with this.

Could you lace up the tablecloths in the hall, please? I'm still a little tied up with the dress. .......... I'm sorry.

I was a little surprised by the large amount of lace and tablecloth fabric that came out, but after seeing the dress earlier, I quickly regained my composure and started working.

"Are you going to use this on your wedding day and that's it?

"What? What? It's over. .......... It's a waste.

It's a waste of 「「「「「! 」」」」」

"Well, do you want it when you're done with .........?

「「「「「 I want it! 」」」」」

Apparently, they're going to mend the tablecloth again and turn it into clothes. ..........

But this is a ......... tablecloth, so it's a little rough on the eyes. ..........

It's okay, I'm not sure I'd be able to pull off something as fancy as a dress like that. It's okay.

The dress uses spider silk for the warp and silkworm silk for the weft, while the tablecloth uses only spider silk. Spider silk is very strong, but a little thicker than silkworm silk. Silkworm thread, on the other hand, is more elastic than spider thread and has a better feel.

The price of the cloth alone is not so different. If it's just the price of the cloth, it's not that different. Well, I don't know how you feel.

From that day on, the women of the city went to Masaru's workshop to work on their sewing projects, one after the other.
