Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 637 Tailoring

Shangluo hand-painted the clothes he wanted for his old master.

The old master looked at it.

The old master took off his glasses and looked carefully.

After that, the old master moved his eyes to Shangluo's head: "This is"

He pondered for a while before asking the question: "What is the shape of this dress? Can you tell me."

"Shape?"

"Look." The old master took off his glasses and pointed at the cuffs with his temples. "The cuffs are too narrow. This is the shape of narrow clothes. But the shoulders, waist and other parts of narrow clothes are cut, which is not the case at all. The collar looks like a The lapels, but the volume is too large. It feels like someone is too lazy to find a tailor, so they just make a bunch of clothes that are not too big or too small. They don’t care about the shape or shape, just put them on intuitively and it’s done - so this is ready-made clothing, right?"

"Ah, I almost forgot. There aren't many ready-to-wear clothes here."

Ready-made clothing, Shangluo has almost forgotten this word. Because ready-made clothes are relative to customization, the applicable situation of this word is: some clothes on the market can be customized, and some clothes are made in advance and put on the shelves. "I" want to choose among them - only at this time, will Take out the word ready-to-wear. There is no need to mention the word customization, because when it comes to buying clothes, it is almost inevitable to go to a tailor to have them made.

But at that time in Shangluo, there was almost no place for customized clothes on the market, because ready-made clothes already covered all categories from top to bottom. At this time, there is no need to say the word ready-to-wear. Just like when meat is mentioned in a dish, it usually refers to pork. Beef and mutton need to be mentioned separately.

"I would like to ask first, what is the current relationship between 'ready-made clothing' and 'tailoring' here?"

Professor Wu, as a senior master, paused.

"Your question really tested me."

"Huh? No, no, I'm just asking."

"You can ask whatever you want, but I can't answer casually. The relationship between ready-made clothing and tailoring can be discussed in detail from the perspective of the balance between production efficiency and quality, supply chain management, culture and fashion, etc. So, I I feel like I have to pick a specific aspect to ask."

"price?"

"The price is very clear. The answer is almost the same. But the price of ready-made garments is not stable because there are too few practitioners at all levels from top to bottom, and consumers' awareness of ready-made garments is not high. Although both sides are in various There is a wide range of consumer products to choose from at all levels of consumption, and the most widely used areas for ready-to-wear are school uniforms and various work clothes."

"Our school uniform?"

"Your school is"

"He is from the Wutai Mountain Training Center." Zhu Xianwen answered for him.

"That's not true. Your school's uniforms are all custom-made and tailor-made. After all, it is a health school, and the money to buy your clothes comes from the school." After saying that, he thought for a while, "It stands to reason that students should wear formal clothes. It's a t-shirt, and the t-shirts are the same from the Imperial College to the county school, and the fabrics are similar."

"By the way, I haven't worn it yet. What does a t-shirt look like?"

"According to the ancient system, the robe is a very particular literati attire. Modern times are not so particular. It is just a round-neck robe with a wider hem, and black edges on the cuffs, hem, collar, and inner and outer plackets. The narrow robe of the robe The version is a military coat, and the difference between the two sides is whether there is extra volume in the waist, sleeves, shoulders, etc. Everything else is pretty much the same."

After saying that, he looked at Shangluo: "I won't be here to help you prepare the sweatshirt. Anyway, your school also goes to the Weaving Bureau to find someone to make it, and it's the same. According to His Majesty's wishes, I will help you here first. Prepare a formal suit for going out. The shape is a round-neck robe, but you can change it if you have requirements."

"Well, I don't quite understand. Master, which one do you recommend?"

"The round-neck robe is what I recommend. Official uniforms are all round-neck robes. Do you know why?" "It looks good?"

"No, because it's easy to wash."

"..." Shangluo blinked, "It's true. Easy washing is indeed very important. For people like me who don't have a laundry room at home, easy washing is more important."

"Because you probably only have this set of dresses, I recommend you to make a round-neck robe because it is easy to wash. In addition, it can be used in a wide range of situations, formal, less formal, very informal, as long as it is an occasion that requires a dress. Everyone can wear a crew-neck robe, it’s always right anyway.”

"After all, I dress like this." Zhu Xianfen replied, "I almost wear this outfit all year round. It's really practical. Anyway, there is nothing special about men's clothes. Since the Tang Dynasty, they have been wearing a round-neck robe. Although there are many different styles when broken down, for example, a blouse is also a round-neck robe. However, round-neck robes used as formal wear are generally solid colors with some hidden flowers."

As he spoke, he also gave instructions: "Go to the Weaving Bureau to pick up some good materials."

"So...what's the level?" the old master asked.

"If you see what's within the limits, give him the one I use - let's do this. The blue one I had last time was pretty good."

"Understood." The master nodded, "I'll go back and check the inventory to see if it's still there. This is because Her Royal Highness Princess Ningguo recently came to buy a batch for the consort, Marquis Yingchuan."

"Why does my aunt and I always pick the same batch of materials? My uncle is so fat, and he doesn't wear the same thing in everything he wears. Forget it, let's see if it's still there. If there's no blue, you can put on other colors. Look back and see what's there Contact me if you have inventory.”

"Okay." He wrote it down, "Then the rest is just measurement. Then this classmate, please stand where I am now."

"Put your hands down, don't raise them up." She muttered silently while measuring, "Stick it under the armpits. When measuring the fullest part of the chest, leave a finger gap."

She was chanting like a mantra while pulling in the measuring tape to measure her bust.

"Don't inhale, yes, let it out. Let me take a look. Tsk, there doesn't seem to be any meat."

"what?"

"Nothing. Next is the waistline. Don't inhale."

"Sister, you are measuring so slowly. If I don't inhale, am I going to die?"

"Please be patient when I measure you for the first time. I am studying arts and crafts, not tailoring. Okay, the waist measurement is this number and then the shoulder width. You turn around, otherwise I can't reach it. "

"Good guy." Shangluo just looked at the numbers on the board and memorized them more and more, "So it's so troublesome to cut a suit of clothes?"

"Originally, undressing doesn't need to be so troublesome," the master replied, "but if you don't measure it more accurately, you will easily have wrinkles even if you wear a belt, and you will look lethargic. Okay, that's it."

After taking a look at the measured size, he glanced at Shangluo himself.
