Chapter 267
“The floral and bird pattern on this dress is pretty cool, but the design of the bust is just too plain, nothing to write home about.” “Such a dress is pretty picky about who’s wearing it. Unless you’ve got a perfect face and a slim figure, it will be tough to pull off.”
“Despite the decent graphics, it lacks anything fresh or unique.”
The judges and audience all chimed in with their lukewarm reviews.
“Next, let’s welcome designer number 16 with a big applause.”
This was Molly’s first time strutting her stuff on stage in a dress she designed herself.
She was a bit jittery inside, but remembering what Arabella had told her before going on stage, she tried to keep her cool and pretend she was just strolling down a Victorian street, all carefree and comfortable.
After a round on the stage, she garnered a lot of praise for her feminine allure – both her personal style and the dress itself radiated a strong vintage vibe.
“I thought her looks wouldn’t be able to carry off such a grand and dignified dress, but boy, was I wrong! After she changed her style, it’s like the dress was tailor–made for her. Looks amazing.”
“This dress looks like it’s haute couture, designer number 16 has some serious talent.”
In comparison, the dresses shown previously just seemed too plain. They didn’t leave any memorable impressions.
Hans had his eyes on her, admiring her dress design, her curly hair and feminine poise.
He gave her a score of nine.
The other judges also chimed in with their scores, eight, nine,
After stepping off the stage, Molly was buzzing with excitement, “Arabella, I think we might make it to the next round!”
“We were always going to.” Arabella had full confidence in their design – the combination of vintage elements and abstract art was bound to stand out. “Now, let’s invite all the designers and their assistants up on stage with the loudest applause!“.
As the host finished, the audience broke into thunderous applause..
The ten designers and their assistants all came on stage.”
“The designers and their assistants have shown us their works, and the scores have been tallied.”
“You can see on the big screen the highest score goes to designer number 16 and her assistant. Let’s give them a big hand for making it to the next round!” The audience erupted into applause.
Molly bowed, thanking the judges and audience for their support. She said a few words of gratitude.
Meanwhile, Arabella remained stoic throughout.
“Let’s congratulate designers number 16, 21, and 29 once again with huge applause for making it to the next round!”
Backstage, Myra was fuming. Of the four designers she brought, none made it to the next round!
At this moment, designers number 3 and 4 returned to the lounge. Myra couldn’t help but slap them a few times.
“What’s the point of the company keeping you around for so long!? A bunch of losers! Can’t even beat a little girl from the Cooper family!”
Yolanda couldn’t believe she didn’t make the top three even though she went on stage herself. She sat dazed in front of the makeup table, not knowing how to explain this to her parents.
Before the competition, she had promised to make it to the top three.
“Yoli, my design skills are not as good as others. You can deduct it from my salary.” Designer number 9 felt extremely guilty.
Yolanda cursed inwardly.
