Chapter 1853


    Oh... No... She''s Definitely Going to Lose!


    Upon hearing Mrs. Holman''s words, Abby nodded with a smile.


    Then, she turned to look at her assistant, a girl who was standing nearby. The assistant stepped


    forward, took out the dress designed by Abby from the limited-edition LV suitcase, and carefully


    hung it on the hanger next to her.


    It was an extremely gorgeous ck tube dress dotted with manually-embedded pieces of jewelry


    and jade ornaments, which spread from the chest to the hem of the dress. This dress looked like a


    gxy of stars on the background of the eternal dark night of the Milky Way, and it was


    iparably magnificent and luxurious.


    If Mrs. Holman wore this dress, it was conceivable that she would look down upon all the other


    people like a queen.


    What''s more, the style of this beautiful dress was rtively conservative, which was very in line with


    Mrs. Holman''s temperament.


    Abby looked casually in the direction of the staff members. After one of the staff members


    immediately understood what Abby meant, and he immediately eximed, "Wow... It''s so beautiful!"

    After the first attempt was made, there were a lot of echoes.


    Very soon, the dressing room was full of exmations.


    "The dress''s so beautiful that I can''t breathe!"


    "My eyes are almost blinded because it''s so dazzling. Only a genius could design such an


    extremely gorgeous dress!"


    "Abby Amery is believed to be the most outstanding young Chinese designer at home and abroad. I


    can imagine that if Mrs. Holman wears this dress, she will definitely be the beauty queen tonight!"


    The staff members looked at the dress admirably and whispered to each other. All of them were


    very sure that Abby would be the winner tonight.


    Abby was very satisfied with this result.


    She stood beside Mrs. Holman elegantly with an expression of being proud of herself. Her beautiful


    eyes were confident, and she seemed to have everything under her control.


    Madame Holman nodded slightly as a sign that she liked this dress very much, and a look of


    satisfaction appeared on her face.


    Tonight''s activity was very important to her.


    She wanted to wear the dress of her own choice.


    Because two designers were involved in designing the dress, Mrs. Holman chose to let them


    compete.


    Within a limited period of time, Tina and Abby were required to bring their design works to Mrs.


    Holman on the day of this international activity.


    After theparison, Mrs. Holman would choose the dress that she thought was better and put it


    on immediately to attend the activity.


    Now it seemed that Abby''s design work was by no means disappointing.


    As the dress designed by Abby had received so much praise and goodments, Mrs. Holman


    had already made a decision secretly in her heart. She seemed to be ready to choose Abby''s


    design as the winning side.


    Seeing this, Susan quickly stepped forward and reminded, "Mrs. Holman, you haven''t seen our


    dress yet..."


    Mrs. Holman nodded coldly. "Miss Hall, show me your design!"


    Tina smiled. "Okay!"


    Although Abby''s dress had won the favor of almost everyone on the scene, Tina still looked calm


    and confident. She leaned over and opened the big bag which she had carried into the dressing


    room, took out the cheongsam she designed from the inside.


    Then, Tina hung the cheongsam on the hanger.


    This purple cheongsam had crescent sleeves and a manually-woven cor. The buttons extended


    from the left shoulder to the right side of the hemline, while each button was virtually a big and


    round pearl, which made the entire cheongsam looked noble and elegant.


    The overall design of this cheongsam was simple and elegant, yet there was nothing special about


    it. The only eye- catching feature of this cheongsam was the flower pattern of the hemline, which


    was a Phoenix- dancing Chrysanthemum. The petals of this flower curved inwardly, and its shape


    was just like a phoenix dancing slowly and gracefully.


    The Phoenix- dancing Chrysanthemum was often regarded as the king of the chrysanthemums, and


    it was very eye-catching.


    Even so, Tina''s design work was just a seemingly ordinary cheongsam, which was still inferior to


    Abby''s luxurious ck evening dress.


    This was especially true when the two dresses were hung side by side. The observers could clearly


    see that the dress designed by Abby was more good-looking and impressive.


    The observers in the dressing room were already shaking their heads.


    Even Susan''s face was filled with anxiety.


    The design task was personally handed over to Tina by Mrs. Barron. During the process, Tina and


    Susan had once worried about their understanding of Mrs. Holman herself. Later, Tina told Susan


    that she had learned more about Mrs. Holman and was very confident now. As Susan still had other


    things to deal with in the studio, she did not follow up Tina''s design work closely.


    Susan had not seen Tina''s design work before tonight.


    At this time, when her eyes swept over the cheongsam, Susan felt that her heart was beating fa st I


    y. She thought that Tina would lose the contest tonight.


    Tina''s expression did not change at all, and her eyes were quiet and calm.


    "Oh... No... She''s definitely going to lose!"


    "There''s no need topare the two costumes at all. Mrs. Holman will definitely choose Miss


    Amery''s design!"


    "Absolutely no doubt! Miss Amery''s going to be the winner..."


    When the observers were twittering, Mrs. Holman suddenly walked straight to the hanger.


    Her eyes were firmly fixed on the cheongsam, and she acted as if she had been deeply touched by


    something.


    Mrs. Holman stared at the cheongsam in a dazzled manner, and her expression was very


    sentimental. Her voice was trembling. "This cheongsam..."


    Everyone was confused.


    Tina smiled and took out a photo from her bag.


    The photo had been modified by modern techniques, as it was a very old one. It was a picture of


    Mrs. Holman and Mr. Holman more than ten years ago.


    At that time, Mr. Holman was dressed in a British-style tuxedo, while Mrs. Holman was dressed in a


    purple cheongsam.


    Tina said slowly, "Mrs. Holman, I know that your affection towards your husband is very deep. I


    admire the love story between you very much. I was deeply moved when I heard that. I found this


    photo incidentally and learned that Mr. Holmer liked to see you wearing cheongsam the most..."


    These were all revealed to Tina by Mrs. Holman''s personal assistant.


    Wilson had helped Tina to secretly contact Mrs. Holman''s personal assistant, from whom Tina


    acquired a lot of useful information.


    The photo was also given to Tina by the assistant.


    Mrs. Holman took the photo and nodded. Her eyes became emotional because the memories of her


    husband had popped up in her mind.


    A hint of tenderness appeared in her eyes, which were generally indifferent, as though she had


    thought of the happy moments of the past with her husband. "That''s right. When I met my husband


    in Country Y for the first time, I was wearing a purple cheongsam like this one you designed. The


    hemline pattern of the Phoenix- dancing Chrysanthemum which was designed by you ispletely


    the same as that of the cheongsam I was wearing at that time. My husbandter told me that he fell


    in love with me at first sight! He took the initiative to invite me to dance, and he told me that my


    dancing was as beautiful as the was as wonderful as the Phoenix- dancing Chrysanthemum


    depicted on my cheongsam!"


    It had been over ten years since Mrs. Holman''s husband passed away, yet she was still


    sentimentally attached him now.


    She loved her husband so deeply that all the memories of him were cherished by her.


    For countless times, she had recalled the happy days when the two of them were together. She


    cherished the memories of the first time they met and fell in love with each other, but the


    cheongsam which she was wearing that night had been lost.


    Looking at the cheongsam in front of her, Mrs. Holman felt that mixed feelings had surged up in her


    mind.


    The cheongsam designed by Tina highly resembled the one depicted in the photo, but if any


    observer looked carefully at it, he/she would find that there were many amazing details that were


    attained by Tina''s talent of artistic creation.


    Mrs. Holman''s unusual behavior caused everyone''s attention to be once again attracted by the


    cheongsam designed by Tina.


    Some staff members who were very familiar with apparel design eximed in surprise.


    "This cheongsam is made of Japanese- style natural silk!"


    "The pattern of Phoenix-dancing Chrysanthemum is characterized by abination of handwork


    and embroidery!"


    Different from other silk types, Japanese- style natural silk was rarely seen in the market now. For


    this reason, the cheongsam made of it was very precious.


    The pattern of the Phoenix- dancing Chrysanthemum incorporated handwork and embroidery. If


    anyone''s hand gently brushed over it, there would be a dazzling reflection of light under the


    lamplight, the visual effect of which was as gentle as the sea waves. The beauty and meticulous


    artistic creation of this cheongsam could easily attract the attention of every observer


    Mrs. Holman inspected the details of the design and was very touched. She nodded movingly. "Miss


    Hall, you''re such a considerate designer!"


    The smile on Tina''s face was innocent and confident.
