Lady Alt Viscountess said, “Mrs. Dawson, let’s exchange greetings. This is Rosana. She is the exclusive dressmaker in charge of our household members’ clothes.”
“Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dawson,” Rosana said. She appeared to be in her mid-forties, and her voice sounded refined, perhaps due to its low tone. Her hairstyle was modest, but attention was drawn to her flashy earrings.
“Nice to meet you, Miss Rosana,” Maiana, who exchanged greetings, looked at the Viscountess.
“Uh, Lady Viscountess. What should I do?”
“For now, undress behind that partition. And wear this.”
As the Viscountess spoke, Rosana, as if waiting, pulled out a very light chiffon dress from the box and handed it to Maiana. It looked similar to a negligee, with no sleeves and thin enough to be see-through.
“This, this… for me? Wear this? Why…”
“To measure the dimensions, you need to wear something like that, Mrs. Dawson. Now, hurry and get moving.”
At Rosana’s urging, Maiana returned behind the partition in confusion, but she still hadn’t grasped the situation. She felt dazed and embarrassed, as if she had been slapped on the forehead by someone walking on the opposite side while walking down the street.
“Uh, Lady Viscountess…”
When Maiana peeked her head over the partition, the Viscountess, who was sipping tea, smiled brightly.
“The detailed story will be told by His Grace later. I came here today just as an advisor. Now, Mrs. Dawson, hurry up and change your clothes. We can do something fun after the boring measurements are done, right?”
Something fun. Maiana took off her apron, unbuttoned the dress one by one, and pursed her lips.
She also had experience in sewing, and before joining the Forbeck mansion, she had worked in the dressing room, so she knew the order of making tailored clothes well. Measure the dimensions, set the sewing date, decide the dress design…
‘Wait a minute. Dress? Ridiculous. Why would I need a dress?’
But apart from that reason, measuring the dimensions itself seemed meaningless… Maiana put on a corset over the most basic underwear. Still, she felt confused and could not sort out her chaotic thoughts.
It wasn’t a pleasant experience to show such an unremarkable set of underwear in broad daylight, even if she was the dressmaker.
“Should I remove the partition?”
“Huh? Well… Can’t we measure like this?”
“Well, let’s do that then.”
Rosana came back behind the partition with tools including a tape measure. Maiana felt awkward as if she had been slapped in the forehead by someone walking on the opposite side while walking down the street.
“Stretch your shoulders. That’s right. When you came in earlier, your posture was very good, but why are you standing so awkwardly now? You need to stand up straight to make a proper dress. That’s right… Now stay still like this. Stretch your neck a bit more. Oh, good. You look elegant. Your lines are pretty… Now raise your arms. No, not so stiff.”
Beyond the partition, Lady Viscountess’s laughter could be heard. Maiana wanted to turn to the side where she was sitting, but she couldn’t gather the courage, seeing how strict Rosana’s expression was.
“Is Rosana a bit scary? But don’t worry too much. If you listen well, she’ll make a very nice dress for you.”
In response to the Viscountess’s joke, Rosana also played along.
“Of course, that’s right. And although I may be a bit strict, I don’t make clothes that fall apart when measuring dimensions, do I? Isn’t that right, Madam?”
“That’s a valid point.”
As if to prove her words, Rosana quickly took out a tape measure and measured Maiana’s body in an instant. The soft tape measure wrapped around the flesh, unraveling with a soft sound several times. Rosana then took out a notebook from the toolbox and diligently recorded the numbers.
“All right, it’s done now. Undress from that outfit and put on your original clothes.”
Rosana exited first, and Maiana, still feeling dazed, sequentially put on the clothes she had taken off. When she came out from behind the partition, Rosana was sitting next to Lady Alt Viscountess, explaining something enthusiastically.
“Mrs. Dawson, come over here and join us.”
The Viscountess offered her a seat.
Rosana spoke, “I’ll do the sewing as quickly as possible, but it’s urgent to design a dress from scratch. Fortunately, there are some unused designs for the autumn, so it would be good to choose one or two from those. Or… well, considering this young lady’s figure and face, sophisticated designs might suit her well. Adding slightly more refined decorations so that it doesn’t look too rustic might make it look great. What do you think?”
Rosana looked at Maiana, not the Viscountess, and a chilly silence fell when Maiana didn’t answer.
“Well, give her the catalog, Rosana. So Mrs. Dawson can take her time looking at it. Until when should she choose a design?”
“Send it until the sewing is finished; there’s plenty of time, madam.”
The Viscountess clapped her hands lightly like a girl.
