Chapter 484: Setting trends
I teleported to meet Maria and the others and brought them back to the Sanctuary, then we talked about what happened at the Royal Capital.
In any case, they bought a huge amount of clothes.
From simple clothing distributed among the residents to clothing that would be used as design references, it was an impossible amount to bring home if they didnt have a Magic Bag.
After they distributed the clothes, Maria and the others began designing clothes.
Hey, Sophia. Is that my portion?
Yes. Ive been told that they will make all sorts of clothes for you, Takumi-sama.
As I thought. Maria and Akane took the lead, and Maribelle and the maids seemed to be having fun cooperating.
Are Maribelle and the others making some too?
Yes. They will make their own clothes, but apparently, the fabrics they will use was weaved with Kaedes special threads, so theyre putting their all into the designs.
Just as I thought that there were more maids than usual, they were apparently their clothes and underwear.
The maid outfits worn by the maids, which looked like classic maid clothing, were uniforms given to them, but their normal clothes and underwear were either bought from shops in Volton, or something they made with some purchased fabrics. It was a safe design that could be worn regardless of fashion.
Then Maria and Akane suggested that they enjoy dressing up because it would be a waste being a girl otherwise.
In this world, normally only the women of the upper echelons of society were able to enjoy fashion, but fortunately, the Sanctuary is prosperous and not lacking. Akane and Maria insisted that women need to dress up once in a while when they have the means to in their life.
I couldnt say anything about it because I dont even understand the letter F in fashion.
Maria and Akane, who had been running all over the place, returned to the living room.
As I thought, there are very little choices when it comes to fashion in this world.
It cant be helped. Only the women born to nobility and wealthy merchants are able to enjoy being fashionable.
Plopping onto the sofa and drinking tea served by the maids, the two talked endlessly about fashion. Sophia and I couldnt follow along.
Hey, Sophia do you understand fashion?
no, I had wanted to be a knight ever since I was a child, so I wore clothes that would be easy to move in. Thats why, even for my clothes now, I just wear what Akane and Maria give me.
So you and me both, huh.
I also just wear whatever clothes Maria hands me. I more or less requested for for clothes that are easy to move in, but I left everything else to them.
Well, apart from the children of this worlds nobility, I think its inevitable for common folk to be fashionable.
To begin with, the clothing stores here were places that sell high class products. I think normal peoples perception is that clothes are something created from purchased fabrics. Or the second option would be buying secondhand clothing.
Now, what Maria bought in the Royal Capital were high-class goods, but that was because this was the Royal Capital, other cities likely do not have ready-made clothing.
Even if you buy the fabrics yourself, you are restricted by the colors and raw materials you can use, and you cant make complex designs. They turn into unpolished designs.
As I thought about that, Akane talked about something troublesome.
I wonder if we could turn this into a business.
I thought it would be difficult. Unless its mechanized with a magic device that would sew, it couldnt be affordable.
Then we should just mechanize it. Takumi, youd like for everyone to be fashionable, right?
Well, I mean, yeah but
If its expensive because its handsewn, then mechanizing might be the only way to lower the cost. That said, I dont think we really need it though.
Make a sewing machine. If its a magic device then you can do it, cant you?
Its not that simple, but if I develop a sewing machine magic device, isnt it fine to leave the rest with Papeck-san?
You cant. These arent dresses worn by nobles. Theres no way we can leave fashionable clothing worn by commoners with Papeck-san.
But, in any case, Akane, you dont even know how to sew, do you? How about just getting involved with the design?
I dont know about building a sewing factory in the Sanctuary.
Youre right! Then Im a designer! That sounds great. Takumi, please make the sewing machine immediately!
I have to think about its mechanisms, so its impossible to do it immediately.
I will assist!
I had no choice but to get up from the couch, and Laeva said shed help.
I should try to think of two versions, a sewing machine-type magic device thats powered by magic stones, and a manual sewing machine with a foot pedal.
After all, if we had a sewing machine, it would be easier for Maria to sew our clothes too.
