Hearing her sister-in-law's voice, Lilia turned her head and quickly got up.
She smiled and looked at Claire who came from in front, the sunlight seemed to shine on her, making her look elegant and refined.
After giving birth, Claire seems to be recovering well.
She looks rosy, her shape isn't that much different from before, and there is no sign of gaining weight.
Lilia smiled as she greeted her, her eyes fixed on Claire's face, and asked, "Aren't you tired after the trip from Jakarta? I thought you would want to rest at the hotel or at the Widjaya family's house. I heard that you can't be too tired after giving birth. Sister, don't tire yourself out because of work."
Claire stood in front of Lilia in a sleek and light gray women's suit.
She looked down at Lilia's lower belly, then reached out and touched her. "Don't worry about me. I've been resting for days at home! My husband is too overprotective, but luckily, my body is recovering quickly."
"Lilia, if you don't let me go to work, I might be really depressed. Over the past month, Andrew did tell me to take rest at home, but I think I'm suffering from boredom!"
Lilia looked at Claire and couldn't help but laugh.
No wonder Jean said that as long as his sister was allowed to work, all her illnesses would heal by themselves.
Now it seemed that this strong woman before her just needed something to do to heal herself.
Lilia took advantage of it and looked past her. "Didn't Andrew come back with you?"
Claire shook her head. "He's been so busy, he can't leave his work lately."
While speaking, Claire already took Lilia's hand and they walked to the office on the second floor of the shop.
As they walked, Lilia clearly felt her steps become lighter.
Inside the office, Claire turned on the computer and logged into the email box. Then she looked at Lilia.
"They've already sent samples of the wedding dresses, I'll take you to see them later. I have some pictures here, you can have a look first. To be honest, this bridal shop of mine has been open for a long time and I myself have never seen a design like this."
Hearing this, Lilia blinked a little suspiciously. "Huh? Wasn't this wedding dress designed by your shop?"
Oops!
Claire looked away from Lilia's face, and she looked at the computer screen calmly. "That's because I recently left my shop unattended, so I was quite surprised by the results. This is my shop's original designer. But at first glance, I see that these wedding dresses must look good on you."
This explanation dispelled the strange illusion in Lilia's mind.
She reached out her hand to wrap the hair around her ear behind her ear, and objectively suggested, "Actually, I was quite surprised when you asked for my help the other day."
"Wedding dresses really can't look bad on anyone. But, look at me now. My belly looks big, so no matter how pretty the wedding dress is, I might end up ruining it. Of course I don't mind helping you, but I'm just worried that my photo shoot won't live up to your expectations. I'm also afraid the profits won't be worth the losses!"
Lilia was a smart girl.
With her being pregnant, she was afraid that her stomach would ruin the result of the photoshoot. She also wanted Claire's bridal gown's sales to return to their peak, so making her a model was considered as a bad choice.
At this moment, Claire looked at her kindly. After downloading the image from her email, she pointed the screen at Lilia. "Come on, don't think too much. When I asked you for help, it was obvious that I had thought things through well, and besides, even if the outcome really isn't as expected, it's nothing to worry about."
"In my eyes, only you can radiate this dress' charm to the fullest. Other people in the entertainment industry don't have the charm you have. So, I want you to listen to my arrangement. As for the result, let others evaluate it."
Lilia looked at the very serious face of her sister-in-law, and it took her a while to shake off her worries. "Well, since it's you who said it, then I will follow the arrangements."
"That's right, come on. Let's see which one looks good! This is just an example. I also heard that some changes have been done on the effect of clothes later, but the overall style won't be altered too much."
Lilia then looked at the computer screen as she listened to Claire.
On the screen, there is a 3D rendering.
The wedding dress is unique indeed.
Unlike wedding dresses in common with colors such as milky white or plain white, the overall color of this wedding dress looks elegant and soft.
The neckline has a wave pattern design that fits well. Even if she hasn't worn it yet, Lilia feels that this design will beautify her curves. The high-waisted design, and a star-studded gauze surface, also a veil that jutted into the ground really made the dress look magical.
In translation, Lilia was mesmerized.
The concept behind this wedding dress must be out of the box, very beautiful and elegant indeed.
At this moment, Claire was content to observe Lilia's reaction. She smiled secretly, feeling many things in her heart.
After seeing the photos, Claire took the phone on the table.
After talking to the staff in the shop, she stood up and said, "The sample has been ironed, let's go to the fitting room to try it on. For now, let's see if it fits your size."
"Okay."
Lilia rose to her feet. Before leaving, she reluctantly glanced at the computer screen.
She always felt that the wave design of the neckline of this wedding dress looked a bit familiar.
It looks like a cloud but not a cloud, like a wave but not a wave.
As she and Claire walked down the stairs, her fingertips subconsciously reached the front of her collarbone.
She didn't know if it was because of her recent worries, the design of this wedding dress was somewhat similar to her necklace.
Lilia whispered quietly, then laughed with self-deprecating eyebrows.
How much did she miss her husband?!
The wedding dress was designed at her sister-in-law's shop, how can it be the same as Jean Widjaya's design!
Perhaps, this design is just one of the very common materials in the eyes of designers.
...
Downstairs, when Lilia saw this sample wedding dress with her own eyes, she stood in front of the wide makeup mirror and walked around inadvertently.
"Lilia, are you okay?"
Claire bit the skin of her lips and asked, but her heart skipped a beat.
It was her first time seeing this sample today. Isn't this... so different from the photo earlier?!
Lilia was blown away by the photos just now, but for this sample set, some of the designs are different from the photos!
Could it be because... her pregnant body?!
Claire was worried that Lilia would think too much. She came forward to tidy up the skirt of the wedding dress, and explained, "This sample is the first version. So it's definitely not as great as the rendering. Today, you're going to test the size first. Once the finished product is actually out, I'll let you know and we can start the photo session."
Lilia nodded, and calmly touched her wedding dress. "Will it take a long time? I'm afraid my stomach will get bigger if it takes too long. We'd better try it soon."
Claire nodded and called her employees to help Lilia try it on.
On this day, Lilia wore a wedding dress for the first time in her life.
This was just a sample, there was no extra expectation in her heart.
But when she dragged her skirt and stood under the dazzling light, she saw her figure reflected in the mirror with her own eyes, and it still made her heart feel hot.
A "click" sound came from behind her.
Claire took a photo with the phone in her hand.. "Lilia, this color really suits you. You're really pretty!"
