Bai Chen awoke and prepared her plan to tackle her summer design task, completing sewing her clothes and make a few accessories. Trudging through her designing and sewing she decided to make half of her clothing similar to the world's current fashion and the other similar to clothes she liked to wear in her previous world, as well as a few accessories which would probably translate to both world's fashion.
She planned to make a few outfits of each style; some alternative, simple, elegant, and anything in between. Unfortunately she could not make any clothing with prints since they didn't have the technology but instead tie dyed a few shirts and left it at that.
Bai Chen basically lived in her workspace. Day in and day out she cut, sewed, and stitched until her body gave out on her. Lucy stayed with her, cutting material where she could to assist.
Even after just a few days Bai Chen's hands were worn with pricks and cuts from accidents and her eyes wore their bags fashionably.
Finally the day she was to see Betsy had arrived. Wearing her newly sewn pants, jacket, and eyebags with pride, she set off in depressed fashion. Knowing her carriage ride awaited her, she snailed to the luxurious carriage awaiting her.
Bai Chen's helpers who were gardening looked on with confusion. What in the he** is she wearing?! Similar clothing had existed before, but only in mens fashion. Not only was that the case, but the coat was so short, not extending past her butt. Obviously Bai Chen was unaware of this. All she was wearing was a white shirt with a lime green jacket and similar green long pants. It accentuated her height and unlike women's clothing did not focus on the chest. Bai Chen knew how to fashion clothes to fit her body and she wore these well.
In fact, the gardeners couldn't help but think, "....but I don't hate it."
Bizarrely, they also felt that their miss looked nice. Almost handsome. With her hair held in a high ponytail and her long fitting pants amplifying her height, Bai Chen was gorgeous. They were amazed and conflicted. She looked amazing but women wearing men's clothing was a taboo. Although her androgynous, ethereal beauty shone through, she was still a woman. And sure, her chest wasn't large enough to ruin her façade but they couldn't help their wandering eyes. The maids were in love. If you looked closely, you would be able to see hearts in their eyes. Both the young maidens and the old. One of the older washing maids even dropped her washing basket, wondering where this new young master of their's had come from.
Meanwhile, Bai Chen stopped in front of the carriage and looked at it with ire. She hadn't noticed the girl's weird looks with her current battle. It was her enemy. One that would haunt her forever. Unfortunately, she had no useful technological understanding of anything from her previous world, so things like cars and other transport she wasn't able to introduce cars to this world. Oh how she wished.
In a literal sense, her skills were useless.
Forgetting that the handsome person in front of them was a woman entirely they were agape at the gorgeous "man". The only one neither confused nor gawking was Lucy, who was just trying to once again force her mistress into the carriage. She was numb to her miss' bizarre actions by now.
Walking behind her miss, she wanted to sigh. After the previous carriage rides, the girl knew what was coming.
She pushed the snail to get in the carriage.
