Zhao Jiaqi glanced at the long fishtail skirt design in her hand and nodded slightly, "How is it?"
"Beautiful, wearing this makes your figure instantly show. If I were a man, I'd also like to look at a woman like this a few more times!"
Su Ya was speaking her honest thoughts!
Boobs are boobs, and hips are hips. A woman who is "curvy" is pleasing to the eye, truly a feast for the senses!
Someone liking the paintings she worked so hard on made it all worthwhile after a morning of feeling dejected!
"Call Bailu here, have her bring the material bought last night, and also bring the needle and thread!"
Su Ya thought the Madam wanted them to make clothes according to the sketch. Overjoyed, she immediately ran out of the tent. In no time, she dragged Bailu back, both of them panting as they entered, holding things in their hands.
"Madam, are we making clothes? I've brought everything!" Bailu put the items in front of her and said self-righteously.
Zhao Jiaqi frowned, looking at her in confusion, "When did I say I was making clothes?"
Bailu was stunned. Su Ya pointed to the newly drawn clothing designs on the table. Did the Madam not want to make them?
If not making clothes, why would she need needles and thread?
Seeing that Su Ya had misunderstood, Zhao Jiaqi took out the two pieces of paper from the bottom of the table, "These are the 'dudou' (traditional Chinese bodice) and 'xieyi' (undergarments) I designed. You two both know needlework. Measure each other and make them to see the effect!"
For the next half an hour, Bailu and Su Ya were repeatedly stunned. However, since the Madam had designed them, they wanted to see what they would look like.
Bailu: "..." Are these really undergarments? Why are they still triangular?
Su Ya blushed even more, holding the paper, she sighed. This truly was a 'dudou'.
Saving material to the point of using two small pouches to cover... the essentials, and then sewing two straps on top!
How would one even wear this thing after making it!
With tears threatening to fall, the two silently found a corner, measured each other, and then started sewing.
During this time, only soldiers delivering food came by, and only with her permission. Otherwise, no one was allowed in.
After lunch, both Su Ya and Bailu had finished. They held the garments and examined them repeatedly. The 'dudou' design was acceptable.
When she turned her head and saw the two small pieces made into 'xieyi' by Bailu, she felt like fainting!
Zhao Jiaqi looked at what they had produced. It really had the feel of innerwear from her past life. She waved her hand, "Put them on and walk around. I want to see!"
Bailu and Su Ya felt that wearing them was too revealing and were embarrassed to do so. They wanted to refuse, but when they saw the Madam's slightly narrowed eyes, they caved!
Not only did they obediently change, but they did so in front of the Madam!
Zhao Jiaqi did not have a voyeuristic fetish, but she had to look because the two women clearly didn't know how to wear them. They had put them on backward!
After her guidance, not to mention, their figures were immediately accentuated!
She looked at Bailu, who was well-endowed, and smiled rather lewdly, "This looks so good. I guarantee that when you wear this little 'dudou', Zhang Heng's eyes won't know where to look!"
Bailu blushed and shuffled her feet, "Madam~"
The 'xieyi' Su Ya was wearing was different from the knee-length boxer shorts. Hers was a bit revealing, but it felt very neat, and she felt like she wasn't wearing anything when walking!
Comfortable!
Bailu, who was married, was more open than Su Ya. She seriously examined the skimpy little pants Su Ya was wearing on her lower body, her eyes full of longing. This made Su Ya blush shyly!
Covering her thighs, she turned her body away from Bailu and said bashfully, "We're both women, what's there to see!"
Bailu covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's precisely because I'm a woman that I dare to look at you, otherwise wouldn't I be a pervert? Come here, let me look again!"
Under her persistent insistence, Su Ya covered her face and let Bailu look to her heart's content.
Zhao Jiaqi was amused. This little girl was indeed quite shy. It reminded her of when she was in school, bathing in the large public bathhouses, where everyone was naked, their bodies pale!
She said with a smile, "Su Ya, are you stupid? You're letting her look like that, but you're not looking back. Aren't you at a disadvantage!"
Su Ya was startled. That's right. The next second, she shifted her gaze and stared directly at Bailu. The two women didn't care if it was cold in the winter weather. They were giggling and laughing in the tent!
After fooling around for a while, Zhao Jiaqi told them to quickly put on their clothes. After all, they were in a military tent stationed outside Yangcheng!
Outside were men full of vigor. If someone ignorant were to barge in...
After the two put on their clothes, the three of them began to discuss the garments.
"Madam, I think Su Ya's little pants are good. They make her legs look longer, and they save fabric!" Bailu said with a smile, sharing her thoughts.
Actually, she wanted to say that if men saw them like this, wouldn't it... She couldn't say this in front of the unmarried Su Ya, for fear of making the girl shy.
Su Ya also offered her evaluation of the 'dudou' Bailu was wearing, "Madam, I think Sister Bai's figure looks better when looking from above when wearing this. It's shaped, large. In contrast, the 'dudou' I'm wearing now doesn't show any shape! And besides... it sways when I walk, which is quite inconvenient!"
With Su Ya saying so, Bailu also felt that the two pieces on her chest were no longer a hindrance and were indeed much more comfortable!
Bailu nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of surprise, "Yes, yes, that's right. Su Ya observed it very accurately. I was only focused on comfort and forgot to mention this."
Su Ya felt even more embarrassed by her praise, lowering her head so low that it was almost touching her stomach.
Their evaluations were both very pertinent. Whether it was saving fabric, convenience, or shaping, these were all visually evident!
There were also some hidden benefits, but it wasn't convenient for her to say more.
These two people, one married and one still a maiden, could both accept this way of dressing. It seemed that if these intimate undergarments were introduced, they would also be accepted.
Zhao Jiaqi said, "Actually, these clothes can be modified further. In winter, it's cold, so you can put a pre-sewn cotton bag inside the little pouches. Wouldn't this provide warmth? And in summer, you can wear what you are wearing now, which is cool!"
Bailu and Su Ya were both stunned. They felt that the Madam was simply becoming a goddess, able to think of such intricate details!
Bailu, with her business acumen, immediately decided to go for it!
"Madam, I think it's very feasible. I know some ladies from prominent families in the inner city. When they're done, I'll send each of them a set. If they find them comfortable to wear, they'll spread the word, and we won't have to worry about selling these things."
Su Ya thought this was a good idea, but she also reminded Bailu, "Sister Bai, actually, the women in the brothels could also be an important group of clients!"
Men who frequent brothels all like novelty.
The women in the brothels would naturally cater to their tastes. Wearing such revealing clothes would naturally attract more attention!
Zhao Jiaqi and Bailu thought this idea was also good. The three of them immediately agreed!
"It's settled then. As soon as we return to the inner city, I'll start working on it. We'll definitely make this good product a specialty of our inner city!"
