She was sketching a traditional vintage dress, slowly bringing the garment to life on her paper. Her design incorporated butterflies and roses. The dress's primary color was black, symbolizing the endless night. Vibrant red roses bloomed in the darkness, embodying a sense of danger but also extreme allure. Haley put down her pencil to start coloring the dress. However, as soon as the brush tip touched the paper, ink began to spill uncontrollably. Her eyes widened, and she quickly threw the brush marker away, but it was too late. Ink had already stained her previously pristine sketch.

Yeah, my dad’s going to freak out for sure. My dress, if you want to call it that, is a stunning cutout, Criss Cross sleeveless dress. The silky-stretchy material gracefully hugs my curves, making me feel both alluring and at ease. Each step I take, the fringe hem sways playfully and adds a touch of whimsy. The vibrant cornflower-blue color beautifully complements the natural hue of my lighter sky-blue eyes. As I wear it, I feel like a vision, exuding confidence and elegance.

I mean these colored dresses are way better than the ‘darker’ colored ones, and I’m definitely going for something red. After a long search, I finally found one; a deep-red mini dress with a draped neckline and sleek long sleeves. It just called out to me, and I just had to answer. This wasn’t so hard after all. ARDYN. Today just had to be one of those days where I was disappointed in myself for the amount of disorderliness I condoned for a certain amount of time. I was rarely disappointed in myself, but today? It seemed like I was a failure. But that was before the name Zyra flickered through my mind, uninvited but impossible to ignore.

As already indicated. He let out a breath. "Well. I dyed it when I was really little, and we do have some form of dye in my parents' kingdom that isn't very safe. The color was used on my hair multiple times, and it's a special, one-of-a-kind dye. Unfortunately, I decided to use the dye that I found in my mother's chamber, which was not the original of my dye. The purple color that remained was more like a permanent pigment, and it had been in my hair for a long time." Mister Attractive said while glancing at my reflection in the dressing mirror as he watched me style his wig hair. "It looks good on you." As I continued to dress Arthur's wig hair, I congratulated him.

~LAYLA~ My stomach flips. “Sexy?” I groan. “I don’t do sexy.” “Well you’re about to.” Brie blurts out so fast that soon enough, she is already listing out different fashion style ideas, her mouth and mind moving faster than I can keep up. “We need something of a bold color,” she taps her chin. “Something elegant and eye-catching. Blood Red, maybe. Or black.”

“Which in girl time is barely enough to detox your skin and summon couture.” I got up, a nervous flutter low in my stomach. “We need to find the perfect dress. Like....The dress. It has to scream elegance, seduction, power, something that’ll have him unable to look away.” Diane’s eyes gleamed. “Oh honey, I live for this.” She grabbed her iPad and opened P*******t like a soldier preparing for battle. “Color palette: bold but not cliché. Think emerald, deep crimson, maybe sapphire blue. Cuts? Slit. Backless. Something with dangerous potential.”

“It’s time.” Her assistant swallowed nervously. “Madam… isn’t this too risky?” Cassandra shot her a cold glare. “Quiet. Just do it.” --- Inside, the lights were off. Only the faint glow of a flashlight illuminated the rows of dresses. Cassandra’s eyes gleamed with envy as she approached. “Look… so beautiful, yet about to vanish in an instant.” She uncapped a bottle of permanent dye and splashed it across the delicate gowns. The white and pastel fabrics stained instantly, spreading black and red blotches like spilled blood.

The construction method itself became the design element. I sketched another piece. A jacket using laser cutting to create intricate patterns that looked like lace but used precise technology to ensure zero fabric waste. Every cutout piece could be used elsewhere in the collection. Nothing discarded. And the colors. Instead of trying to match synthetic dyes, what if I used natural dyes in ways that celebrated their unique properties? Indigo that created beautiful variations from pale blue to deep navy. Madder root for reds and pinks with depth synthetic dyes couldn't match. Walnut hulls for rich browns.

I nodded at her question and she went to open up some drawers on a cart nearby and picked out some colors for me. I looked at the blues that she picked out, “Beautiful, but I’ll have to dilute it.” “Say no more,” she went to get a plastic bin that looked like was once white in color but too overused that it has turned into a gross brown mixture of every color ever placed in it. She used a hose to fill it with water and I told her when was enough, then I bent down and placed some of the dye inside the water, mixing it using my hand.

It’s one of four we’ve been experimenting with: two traditional, of which this is one, and two very contemporary designs. Orla nodded her head, fascinated by the designs. He continued, "We’re experimenting at the moment with charcoal to black-dye the modern toile and give it a more edgy look." From the moment she had stepped into the fabric factory, Orla had felt as though she had stepped into her own private Aladdin’s cave. Bolts of fabrics of every hue imaginable were stacked to the ceiling; mouthwatering acid sherbet colors, rich traditional colors of crimson ruby, jade and emerald embellished with gold thread, sea and sky colors, and even pale creamy naturals. Her senses had fed on them
