[Shiki's sitting in the front area of All Passions, carefully folding a cloak up into a box and cleaning up her workspace.]

I'm so glad this place is working out; I love being able to just come down here and create stuff and I know Kanji and Sally do too! And the people here seem to be enjoying it too. As soon as I find someone who knows how to play drums and the guitar, it'll be perfect! Thanks again, Edge!

Faize, I finished the cloak...if you want I can drop it off to you or you can come pick it up, whichever you prefer. Spike, I don't know if you picked up your jacket but it was finished as well.

We're still taking requests from anybody who wants something made! Just ask for Shiki, Kanji, or Sally and we'll get right to it.

[Shuffling out from the back, Sally has been busy bringing in supplies from her own home for the shop to use and lordy, what she brought in was only a small fraction. But regardless, she is happy, new projects are always welcome.]

Doing well, Shiki?

I am too, it's nice to work out of home.

[Swaying softly with her hands clasped behind her back; Sally hums faintly.]

Perhaps I should make a commission notice of my own too, I haven't yet... Although, I need to finish that dress first.

I live alone so I don't have that problem, rather it's nice to have others around when I work.

Mm?

--oh!


Awhile ago a young man named Cecil asked to me to make a wedding dress for his bride to be. Rosa... [Tone drops.] She was taken some time ago but for his sake I hope she comes back.

Not many people are into the craft, it's so nice to have you and Kanji here.

...yes. The kidnappings have been increasing lately.

But if we have to wait, I say we wait productively.

[Faint smile.]

It is, I think people are beginning to realize the possibilities are endless.

I've been keeping the dress at home, I'm nearly finished but I'm waiting for Rosa's return before I mention it to Cecil. I'm sure it's the least of his worries now.

[Sally falters, she had gotten so caught up in her work she had forgotten Shiki might have been interested.]

O-Of course! I would love for you to.

[Sally smiles fondly, nodding.]

Yes, it's in main part of my house that I've been using as my work area. I've never created a wedding dress before, any thoughts or suggestions for my design would be very appreciated.

[Oh~ /o/ Life feels good and with her typical stumble Sally leads the way to house #38. Short walk will thankfully and justly be short.]

[Careful Shiki, boxes and baskets are stacked and placed in quite a few rooms, you just might trip!

After passing through 3 rooms, what once was the living room had turned into Sally's working area and in the center on a stand was the work in progress. Sally had felt a little nervous initially starting the dress, knowing her style and design was far from the typical themes used in traditional (human) wedding dresses. But she did her best.

The main body of the dress was white, pure and clean, the highest quality fabric she could find. Sleeveless, tiny white cross-stitching followed down the torso, disappearing once the fabric expanded from the waist down, long and flowing, covered with thin layers of white lace with tiny flower petal patterns designed into them. Not backless, it resembled something of a corset's, thin material weaved back and forth, allowing the bride to determine just how tight it should come together. The collar, sewed in gently, displayed a simple design that added to the dress.

It looked very clean, elegant but Sally couldn't help a small sigh after she looked it over.]


I know it's what to be expected but I can't help but wish I added some color... somewhere.

[ooc: Well, this solves the problem of me coming up with a design for it xD And I hope to god that made sense >_>;; Why must I try to be so realistic, augh.]

[identity profile] needlesnthread.livejournal.com 2009-04-05 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Hm...

[Sally folds her arms together, a thoughtful expression coming over her.]

It would have to be very light, so it doesn't take away all of the attention...

What do you think?


[ooc: oh yay xD; ♥♥♥]

[Sally stares at the dress, head tilting and suddenly with a clap of her hands, she rushes to the corner of the room and opens up several drawers. Shuffling through pile after pile she suddenly retrieved several thin sheets of fabric, all a very faint silver.]

I knew the feeling I had when I picked these up was right.

[Beaming, Sally picked up two needles from a jar sitting on a nearby table and held out one to Shiki.]

Would you like to help me finish?
