I Became a Clothing Designer in Another World - Chapter 31

Heiny-yang really made and handed over what I had asked for in just two hours.

"Heueu... Hueuh..."

She poured all her mana into processing the materials, so as soon as she finished, she suffered mana exhaustion and collapsed on the floor. Her face was pale, and she was dripping with cold sweat, but she kept the promise she made herself, which no one had forced her to do.

"Heiny-yang, the payment..."

"Kkeoeu... Hieeeek..."

As I took the finished item and cautiously brought up the money story that I couldn't finish earlier, Heiny-yang laboriously raised one finger and let out a shriek from her mouth.

I thought it probably meant one gold coin, so I took out one gold coin from the cloth bag hanging on my waist and placed it on the desk.

Then, I approached Heiny-yang, helped her up from her seat, and supported her to sit on a nearby chair, saying.

"If it's not enough, please tell me later, I'll supplement it then."

"Hueue-"

Very slowly, Heiny-yang's head went down and then up.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"......"

Heiny-yang's head shook very slightly from side to side.

I've heard that mana exhaustion gets better with a little rest, but this looks like she needs help no matter how I look at it...

"Are you really okay?"

"Yes..."

"... Then I'll see you next time, thank you for your hard work."

"Yeeeee..."

I left the lab, hearing Heiny-yang's dying voice.

I felt uneasy, but she said she was okay, so I guess she's okay...

After getting all the necessary materials, I returned to the townhouse and started the full-scale tailoring.

Unlike usual, I focus on functionality rather than aesthetics, and carefully draw lines on the fabric.

The band and shoulder straps that wrap around the torso should be wide and thick to properly hold and distribute the weight.

The cups should be large enough to cover most of the chest while properly covering and pressing down on the chest.

To prevent deformation, I prepared a fabric one layer thicker than other parts for the cups, and prepared a wire to shape them.

After drawing all the lines on the fabric, it was a continuous boring task of cutting and sewing the fabric without anything special happening.

Oh, there was only one time in the middle when I didn't have a tool to cut the wire, so I asked Rachel-kyung to cut it for me.

"I cut it."

"Hieuk..."

"Wow..."

She didn't use a knife or scissors, and when she touched the wire with her bare hands, it broke in half.

She didn't even swing her hand, she just touched it lightly, and that's how it happened.

As soon as I realized that an ordinary human being had asked someone who could cut tofu-like things with their bare hands what underwear was, cold sweat ran down my spine.

I was so scared that my hands trembled for about 5 minutes and I couldn't hold the thread and needle.

After somehow overcoming my fear and diligently moving my hands, sewing each stitch, I was able to complete the bra about three hours after drawing the first line on the fabric.

"Hmm..."

While checking the finishing touches, I looked to see if it was made similarly to what I had thought.

The seams were sewn much more firmly than usual, and I used as many as four hooks on one line to make sure it would never burst before the fabric rotted.

The rings that adjust the shoulder straps also work well.

The shape itself was made as I had imagined.

Now, if only the durability is met, I can increase the hooks from this design to three rows and make it adjustable in 1cm increments.

"Not bad."

I muttered to myself, put the bra down on the desk, and spread the remaining fabric back on the desk.

Now that I've finished the top, it's time to make drawers that will act as panties.

Making drawers wasn't that difficult.

Unlike the chest, the buttocks don't shake violently, so all you have to do is cut and attach the fabric to fit the size.

The curves aren't that complicated either. Finishing the seams neatly is the most difficult part in drawers.

While blankly cutting and sewing repeatedly, let me tell you a slightly interesting old story, the original form of drawers in the previous world had a split in the crotch area.

The reason was very practical: the toilet.

Normally, the split part is covered with buttons and fabric, and at the moment it is needed, it is opened to do one's business and then closed again.

The reason for making it like this is that when I first wore that underwear, the clothes I wore over it were tunics and primitive stockings, so it was much faster and easier to lift the clothes and open the underwear than to take off this and that to go to the bathroom, so I did such a bizarre thing.

Even after wearing complete pants, the remnants remained, and there is a hole in the front of square trunk underwear.

Of course, almost no one uses it.

Fortunately, in this world, after pants that completely surround the lower body came out, the crotch is carefully finished.

However, if women start wearing drawers in the future, drawers with a split crotch will reappear.

With an even bigger split.

It's obvious what someone wearing a long dress will do to quickly go to the bathroom.

Personally, I think this is the right future.

There's a reason why some adult underwear has a split crotch that's wide open.

It's because everyone secretly wants that.

But this is a distant future story.

Even though I'm making women's underwear, because it's worn under pants, it doesn't apply right now, so I closed the crotch neatly with tears in my eyes.

And I attached a button to tighten the waist to prevent it from falling down and finished.

"Hmm... good..."

I put the finished drawers on the desk with a slightly bitter smile.

It took four and a half hours to make a set like this, top and bottom.

It would have taken two or three hours more than usual, but my hands moved particularly well today.

Is it because it's women's underwear?

"Ugh~"

I stretched and got up from my seat.

I was in the same position for too long, and I felt a tingling pain in my neck and back.

"Did you already make it all?"

"Yes, that's right. It's a prototype, so there will be some parts that need to be changed."

As I was stretching my neck and loosening my stiff body, Rachel-kyung approached with interest in the finished underwear.

And she carefully reached out her hand, hesitated, and glanced at me.

"Is it okay if I touch it?"

"Yes."

Rachel-kyung, who carefully picked up the underwear with my permission, pressed here and there with her fingers and opened her mouth while looking at it with a suspicious expression.

"... It's soft and looks more comfortable than what I used to wear, but it doesn't look like it will firmly hold the chest."

"I'm making it for the first time, so I need to do various tests."

"Tests?"

"Yes, I need to check whether the clothes don't get damaged and hold the body well when riding a horse, running, and handling long weapons, and how well they absorb sweat."

Rachel-kyung frowned and looked at me.

"It's hard to trust with just one or two times, can you figure it all out in a few days?"

"If I set extreme conditions and conduct tests, I can shorten the time a lot, I'm talking about extreme situations that cannot be met in a normal environment or by ordinary people."

"...?"

I turned my head towards Emily while talking to Rachel-kyung.

I usually try not to be conscious of it as much as possible because I feel like my intelligence is dropping in real time, but today it's a necessary task, so I looked at the overwhelming chest that comes out as 70H in Korean style and continued talking.

"If it can withstand not only normal situations but also out-of-spec situations, anyone can wear it."

"Ah..."

Rachel-kyung, who gently turned her head to where my gaze was directed, let out a faint sigh and nodded.

Her expression looked strangely sad, she must have felt the difference in class.

Rachel-kyung isn't big, but if anyone sees that, they will react similarly to Rachel-kyung.

"... Why are you all looking at me?"

As my and Rachel-kyung's gazes turned to her, Emily showed discomfort and covered her chest with her arms.

"Emily, can I ask you a favor?"

"This is going to be very embarrassing, so I'll refuse."

"Wear this for a while."

"Master, I said I don't like it?"

"I'll tell you how to wear it from now on, so don't worry."

"Can't you hear me?"

I'm a noble who doesn't know what rejection is.

If Emily really hated it, I might remember it, but I know very well that this is just because she's annoyed.

"Got it?"

"Haa~"

Since I kept pretending I couldn't hear her and only said what I wanted to say, Emily narrowed her eyes and let out a long sigh.

And she pouted her lips and said bluntly.

"Give me a vacation or a generous bonus later."

"I can do that as much as you want!"

I nodded with a smile.

Today, I was able to persuade Emily wonderfully.

_

After finishing persuading Emily, I enthusiastically taught Emily how to wear the new underwear, and then suggested that she try it on once as a test.

Emily nodded her head listlessly and came out of the dressing room with less tightness in her maid outfit than usual.

"You wore it well as I told you?"

"Yes, I did it right."

"How does it feel?"

"It's a bit stuffy, but the feeling of holding my chest is good, and my shoulders are much more comfortable."

"Hmm~ is that so?"

The simple wearing comfort is合格.

Then I have to move on to the next step.

"Emily, can you jump once?"

"Jump? Hmm..."

She didn't look very willing, but Emily pressed down on the hem of her skirt with both hands and started stomping her feet a few times.

"Heup!"

And with a shout, she jumped up with a solemn expression.

The hem of the maid's uniform flutters, and Emily's body floats into the air and comes down.

"......?"

Emily, who landed gently on the floor, blinked her eyes wildly and stared blankly at her chest.

"Heueup!"

And once again, she stomped her feet and jumped up more strongly than before, and then looked at me like a startled rabbit with her eyes wide open.

"It doesn't hurt...?"

"Really?"

"The shaking has also decreased a lot, and it hurt a lot even when I ran lightly, but it's okay even if I jump."

"Good, very good."

I clapped my hands lightly with a satisfied smile.

It was a basic test, but so far it was having the same effect as I had expected.

At this point, I can proceed with a proper test.

"Emily, I'm going out tomorrow morning, so tell the coachman."

"Yes."

I should go for a horse ride for the first time in a while.
