Lady of the Lord From the East - Chapter 153
The celebration of the Knights continued for several days, and when they finally had enough, Felix began to arrange for people to go to Slot.
Of course, although the fiefs of this batch of new knights have been sealed in Slot, it is impossible to dispatch them all. Slot does not need so many knights for the time being, and only novice knights are dispatched. Felix was also not at ease, so he asked Kingsley, the head of the regiment, to draw up a list, and only dispatched twenty knights, half the new and old knights, along the Belt and Road.
Before the knights set off, Wei Wei’s custom-made uniform was finally delivered.
The clothes were neatly folded and packed in boxes, which were transported to the castle by horse-drawn carts.
Wei Wei was surprised when she heard the servant report that the old tailor was coming to deliver the clothes. She originally agreed with the old tailor to make it before winter begins. With the weather in Sardinson, how could it start to snow when it gets colder? It also has to wait until the end of November and the beginning of December, and now it’s only October, so it’s done?
It turned out that everything was done, and it was done according to Wei Wei’s requirements, and the set was not bad.
It turned out that in order to catch up with the schedule, the old tailor had to let the dyeing workshop work overtime to make fabrics after he went back. After a batch was made, it was sent to the tailor shop for the tailors in the shop to make clothes, and even delayed other orders. It took more than a month to make hundreds of sets of clothes.
There are also tailor shops here. After the expansion in recent years, the number of tailors in the shop has increased a lot. Although the clothes drawings given by Wei Wei are novel in style, they do not require embroidery or sewing a large number of decorations. It takes time to cut and sew, and a tailor with faster hands and feet can make two or three sets a day, or even more.
When the old tailor waited for Wei Wei to come, he immediately bent over with a smile on his face and said, “Madam, please inspect the goods.” The tone was quite proud, and he was obviously very confident in the quality of his own products.
The box containing a pair was opened, revealing the black uniforms inside. Because they were prepared for winter, these clothes were made of warm and thick woolen woolen. Cotton is used, but it is specially thickened, and it is a three-piece suit. Even if it is worn in winter, it will not feel cold as long as you don’t go outside in the icy world.
Wei Wei touched the fabric in the box, the thickness was very satisfactory to her, she turned to Penny and said, “Go, call Butler Patton, by the way, let him bring some servants over to try on the clothes, and then notify the knight figure and let them Send a few people over to try.”
Panera put on Lisa’s face and walked away with a smile. Their footsteps were more brisk than usual, and the rest of the people who stayed were also excited to look at the big boxes.
This is the winter clothes made for them, and there will be new clothes to wear soon. Which woman will be unhappy?
Although it was said that black skirts were not very popular with women at this time, Penny felt that since it was specially designed by Wei Wei, there must be something special about it.
It’s a pity that Madam deliberately did not let them see the design drawings before, and the clothes in the box were all neatly folded, so they couldn’t see the style, which made them even more want to know what the clothes were.
Wei Wei was not in a hurry. She looked through the boxes. In addition to the clothes, the old tailor also made a lot of accessories according to Wei Wei’s requirements. After looking at them all, she was very satisfied. any problem.
Butler Patton brought people over quickly, knowing that he was looking for someone to try on clothes, so he specially selected servants of different sizes, including Hank and Mona.
The knights also quickly came to two knights. Everyone knows that the count does not like to have young men appearing in front of Wei Wei, so the knights who come are older, have families, and look average.
The old tailor took the apprentices to take out the clothes that fit their body shape and status. The men and women went to different rooms to change their clothes. Butler Barton was also stuffed with a set. Not quite the same.
The maids are okay, their new uniform is a long black dress, which is very convenient to wear, but the clothes of the servants and knights are top and bottom, and they are too close to the body, not so much for the men who are used to wearing long robes. Habit.
But no one does not know how to wear it, because of this kind of clothes that are separated from the top and bottom, they have seen the earl wearing it. The riding suit made by the countess for the earl is a similar style, and the latter likes it very much. Whenever he goes hunting, he will change into it. That suit looks handsome, and it is much more convenient to move than a robe.
A group of people who had changed into new clothes came out, and Wei Wei, the old housekeeper and others were all bright.
The maids wear close-fitting black long dresses, which are very typical classic Victorian maid outfits. The smooth tailoring shows a beautiful waist curve. The long skirts cover the ankles. The high collar, the wrists also have rolled-up cuffs, and the curled hair wears a white turban with lace. Originally, Wei Wei planned to design it into a modern popular maid turban called Katyusha. A ruffled strap is tied to the coiled hair, but it is popular for women to wrap their hair these days, so she did not modify it, but continued to use the Verolia maid turban, a small white round turban , with lace on the side, small bows tied at the back, and two long straps hanging down, dignified and elegant.
Butler Barton and the male servants have very similar clothes. They are both suit-style uniforms. The top is a dovetail coat, a double-breasted vest, and three shirts. The slight difference is that the male servants’ vests are black like their coats. , and Butler Patton’s is white, in addition, the footman wears a black bow tie, and Butler Patton is a black tie.
Look at the two knights who were called in to try them on. Their clothes were another novelty.
Wei Wei made improved military uniforms for the knights. At that time, she thought that knights are also soldiers. Since they are soldiers, they should wear military uniforms.
The hem of the double-breasted top with a cross-neck length reaches the base of the thigh. There are decorative epaulettes on the shoulders to make the shoulders more straight. A golden ribbon hangs down from the right shoulder and hangs at the intersection of the neckline. The belt, after tightening it, just set off the two strong knights with muscular faces and slender legs with long legs and extraordinary strength. What is even more different from the servants is that the shirts in their uniforms are gray and they are also matched with black ties. This is because the daily exercise of the knight is too large, and the white one is too easy to get dirty, so he simply changed it to a dirty gray.
But like the servants, they didn’t know how ties and bow ties were used, so they could only take them out in their hands.
At this time, this group of people who had finished dressing stood in a row in front of Wei Wei, holding accessories that they didn’t know how to use, and looked at each other’s clothes curiously. Although they couldn’t see their appearance, they looked at others After changing clothes, it seems that he has completely changed his appearance, so he should also be good-looking, right?
Wei Wei turned around and praised the old tailor: “It’s a very good job.”
She used to worry that she couldn’t make the look she wanted with today’s fabrics, but she didn’t know how the old tailor solved it. Even if there were not so many fabrics to choose from in the future, the clothes she made were very impressive. .
The old tailor straightened up immediately and replied modestly, “This is thanks to the blueprints you provided, Countess.”
Although he asked himself that his craftsmanship was good, he couldn’t think of such a peculiar but beautiful costume even if he wanted to break his head.
After complimenting each other, Wei Wei stepped forward and instructed the servants how to wear the bow ties, and then personally helped Butler Patton to tie the ties, while letting the two knights watch them carefully: “Although you can usually not wear them, it is best to Or master the tie method, this tie must be worn on formal occasions.”
Butler Patton’s chin was too high to ask Wei Wei to help him tie his tie. He couldn’t be more excited. Since he could enjoy the service of the hostess, it was a great honor.
Oh, I hope Lord Count doesn’t see it, otherwise his old bones will probably endure his jealousy.
Everything is fine, young master, but the fact that he is too jealous is a headache.
But Felix just saw it. He heard that Wei Wei had something to do here and happened to be free, so he came to watch the fun, and as soon as he came, he saw the picture of Wei Wei helping Butler Barton to tie a tie.
Fortunately, the other party is a housekeeper who has watched him grow up since he was a child. No matter how sour his heart is, he will not show it in front of everyone.
So what else can be done?
As soon as Wei Wei tied the tie to Butler Patton, Felix walked over, holding a tie that he took out of the box, and handed it to her: “The butler didn’t see it just now, you can release him again.”
He stood in front of Wei Wei, his chin was too high, and motioned for her to come.
Wei Wei couldn’t see what he meant, smiled, followed his meaning, and helped him tie his tie in the same way.
Although this blue robe with a tie is really strange, but since the parties all feel that it doesn’t matter, after tying it, it will not be taken off and hung like a show off, she has nothing to say.
Leaving Felix to the butler and the knights to study how to tie a tie, Wei Wei went again and asked the maids to add matching aprons, linen aprons, and ruffles on the outside of the shoulder straps and the hem. The wide and elongated waist tie is tied with a big bow at the back, which adds a playful and cute look to the whole skirt.
Some of the maids who thought the skirts were too dark at first accepted the new uniforms completely.
Wei Wei felt that it was still a little short: “I don’t know when the matching shoes will be ready and delivered. You can put them down first.”
“Is this a good thing? I feel like a decent lady now.” Penny turned her skirt around, and said smugly, “If we go out to meet people with Madam dressed like this, we will definitely make them envious. Insane, it’s just terrific.”
The other maids agreed.
Wei Wei waited for them to make trouble for a while, then clapped her hands and said: “Stop it, if you think the clothes are alright, take them and send them out, two sets for each person, tell them as soon as possible if they are inappropriate, and I will let them take them back and change them. change.”
Then everyone laughed and laughed, and went to work.
