Chapter 172: Maid outfit and Lolita (2)

The tailor shop was spacious, with a simple pedal-operated sewing machine in the middle. On several shelves, there were dozens of colorful fabrics, and the only other items were two chairs.

When Ivan was addicted to magic drugs, he squandered his fortune and even pawned almost everything in the shop.

Ivan took a look at Vivian and Kasha, then turned to Charlotte and asked, "What styles do you plan to have them tailored in?"

"I brought the dress design sketches, but you'll need to measure and finalize the specific details," Charlotte took out two sketches from his pocket.nove(l)bi(n.)com

A maid's dress was prepared for Kasha, as a maid should look like a maid.

A set of Lolita clothes is prepared for Vivian. With the cute little legs, she should look adorable in Lolita, right?

Ivan looked at the drawings for a while, furrowing his brows and then relaxing them, occasionally nodding.

"So, what do you think? Can you make it?" Charlotte asked, worried that the craftsmanship might be too complicated and Ivan might be hesitant.

"Did you design this?" Ivan asked.

"You could say that." Charlotte nodded. He had only seen this kind of thing in anime and manga, but with his exceptional memory, he managed to recreate it with about eighty or ninety percent accuracy.

"It's truly exquisite, with the ingenuity of art. It's amazing." Ivan gave him a thumbs up and continued studying the drawings for a while before saying, "I will do my best to bring it to life, but since it's my first time, I can't guarantee a perfect result."

"No problem, just do your best." Charlotte nodded and then said, "This long dress is for Kasha, and this little dress is for Vivian. Please measure their sizes."

"Wow, this little dress is so pretty, and the style is unique." Vivian leaned in, looking at the drawings with shining eyes.

Kasha peeked her head out curiously but hesitated to approach.

"Well then, let me measure the figures of these two beautiful ladies."

Ivan solemnly put the drawings on a small table nearby and took off the measuring tape hanging around his neck.

"I'll go first." Vivian took off her hooded cloak, allowing Ivan to measure her size.

After all, she had grown up in a family with a private tailor, so she was very skilled in this type of thing.

Kasha, on the other hand, watched curiously.

As a mermaid, she didn't wear clothes in the sea; she only needed to choose two beautiful seashells and tie them with resilient seaweed to hang them in front of her chest.

However, humans were very interested in clothing and had people specifically responsible for designing and making clothes.

In no time, Ivan recorded Vivian's body measurements and then turned to Kasha.

Kasha hesitated about whether or not to take off her gray robe, but she wasn't wearing anything underneath it.

"Let me measure Kasha. Her waist is very slim, and the clothing is not thick, so measuring directly is not a problem at all." Vivian took the measuring tape from Ivan's hand and, with Ivan's guidance, measured Kasha's size.

When it came to measuring her waist, the slightly lifted hem revealed Kasha's fishtail.

"You're a mermaid?" Ivan was somewhat surprised.

Kasha glanced at Charlotte and saw him nodding, so she nodded lightly.

"Speaking of which, five years ago, a mermaid customer ordered a piece of clothing from me. But before the clothes were finished, she left in a hurry and asked me to give it to someone who was destined for it."

Ivan smiled and said, "You're the first mermaid customer to come to my shop in these five years. Your figure is very similar to that customer's. If you don't mind, perhaps you can try on the clothing I tailored for her. If it fits, I'll give it to you as a gift."

Kasha's eyes brightened, but she still instinctively looked at Charlotte.

Charlotte smiled and nodded.

"You know about it too?"

Ivan was also surprised by Charlotte's reaction and explained, "It's currently in session for the preparatory class, with just a dozen or so children studying. But in three months, the regular program will start, and more children will be admitted."

Charlotte nodded, deep in thought. It seemed better to start with those dozen kids attending school before expanding further.

The name "Abyss Academy" was something he quite liked. It was simple and grand, giving the feeling of inclusiveness.

It seemed that Roland had taken his advice to heart.

In three months, the children of the Abyss would bid farewell to the days without a school.

Choosing the address for the academy on Tova Street showed that Roland had gained control of the street within the family and intended to turn it into a standard-setting location.

"Where is the academy located? I want to go take a look later." Charlotte asked curiously.

After all, he had personally sent those kids to the academy, so it was only natural for him to visit them.

"It's in the middle of Tova Street, very conspicuous. You'll see it as soon as you walk over." Ivan said.

Charlotte nodded.

At this moment, the door to the fitting room opened, and both of them instinctively paused their conversation and turned to look.

Ivan even nervously clenched his fists.

This dress had taken a lot of effort and anticipation on his part, but he had never seen the final effect when someone wore it all these years. He didn't know how it would turn out.

Kasha walked out cautiously.

The silver long dress perfectly accentuated her tall and graceful figure, shimmering in the light.

The collar was adorned with scattered diamonds, shining brightly and making her look like a princess.

The dress trailed on the floor, covering her fishtail and avoiding the awkwardness of her standing with a fishtail.

Charlotte couldn't help but be amazed, too, as he looked at her.

Such a mermaid-like princess wearing a maid outfit and obediently calling someone her master...

The more he thought about it, the more intriguing it became.

"It's perfect! It's as if it's tailor-made for you!" Ivan exclaimed excitedly. He circled Kasha a couple of times, his face turning red.

The effect presented by Kasha wearing this dress exceeded his expectations, perfectly matching his vision and even surpassing it.

He hadn't wasted all those sleepless nights spent on designing and making it. This feeling of accomplishment was truly remarkable!

It was a feeling he hadn't experienced in many years.

"Thank you, Miss Kasha. Allow me to give you this dress as a gift." Ivan looked at Kasha solemnly.

Kasha looked at Charlotte.

Charlotte nodded slightly.

"Thank you." Kasha smiled. She had been paying attention to Charlotte's expression all this while, and it seemed that her master also liked her wearing this beautiful dress.

"Bah, I envy you. If only I could grow a little taller, then I could also wear such a graceful long dress." Vivian tiptoed, muttering with envy.

Kasha returned to the fitting room, changed back into her clothes, and carefully placed the white dress back in the small box, hugging it affectionately.

Charlotte then asked Ivan and Vivian to check how much the two customized dresses would cost.
