Shopkeeper Yao took their measurements and recorded them in the notebook he carried with him.
Shopkeeper Yao then took out a catalog, handed it to Madam Song, and said:
"Madam, all the styles are in here. You can take your pick."
"All right."
Madam Song accepted the catalog, opened it, and began looking through it.
Song Yaoyao leaned over to look too...
After finishing the catalog, Madam Song asked:
"Yaoyao, did you see anything you liked?"
Song Yaoyao shook her head and said:
"No."
Madam Song nodded and said:
"I thought the styles were too ordinary too.
Shopkeeper Yao, do you have any others?"
Shopkeeper Yao said:
"The styles at the back of the catalog are all the latest designs."
Madam Song still shook her head and said:
"Many young ladies from officials' families have already worn those styles at banquets.
Do you have anything besides these?"
Shopkeeper Yao shook his head.
Madam Song was a little disappointed.
Back in the modern era, Song Yaoyao had seen countless outfits inspired by ancient fashions.
Because they were beautiful, she had even made a point of studying them.
At that thought, Song Yaoyao said:
"Shopkeeper Yao, as long as you have the design drawings, can you make the clothes?"
"Generally speaking, yes."
"Good. I happen to have some free time these next few days. I can design a few outfits, and you can help make them."
Shopkeeper Yao asked in surprise:
"Princess, you know how to design clothes too?"
"I know a little.
I'll send someone to deliver the drawings to you in the next few days."
"Of course."
Madam Song asked in surprise:
"Yaoyao, do you really know how to design clothes?"
"Mother, I only know a tiny bit."
Madam Song knew Song Yaoyao fairly well. She would never take everything
