Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 283

Measuring to the last body is no longer required; this really tests one's skills, and achieving a perfect fit is incredibly difficult. It requires taking measurements based on the client's body shape, not just using the exact amount measured. Taking the right amount of measurement is very experience-dependent; if it's not done correctly, the garment will be uncomfortable and won't flatter the figure.

A good tailor can create bespoke clothing that corrects misshapen figures, slims overweight individuals, and shapes slender figures into shapely curves. They can correct body flaws without compromising comfort – that's true skill!

The best part of Butterfly Lovers' collection is its women's clothing. The embroidery layout is very neat, neither too concentrated nor scattered and disorderly. The flowers and butterflies are closely spaced, with lively and natural postures, complementing each other beautifully and creating a colorful effect. The lake blue-yellow background, paired with the green, pink, and blue embroidery colors, makes it incredibly youthful.

A pink and green color scheme can make clothes look overly girlish and lively, lacking in formality. However, by using a lake blue color scheme with some blue accents, the overall look instantly becomes dignified and composed. Combined with the model's steady gait, this drew continuous praise from the audience.

Many female viewers absolutely love this!

The screen stutters when sending comments.

"Aaaaaah, my hands are killing me! It has to be me!"

"I pressed the button ten minutes early, ahhh, it has to be me!"

"Whoever buys it, write down my contact information XXXX, I'll buy it no matter the price."

"Contact me if you're selling; price is negotiable."

.......

The auction was still in progress, but the live chat turned into a second-hand bidding war. It's still uncertain whether the items have even been sold.

The buyer's information will not be disclosed after the sale, as this is for privacy protection. Therefore, those who want to resell the item can only shout it out in the live chat, hoping that their offer will tempt someone to contact them.

You have to keep refreshing the page, otherwise what if the seller doesn't see it? It's so difficult.

"I'm really upset that Qingfengyi doesn't know how to do business. Why not just auction it off? Why does she have to sell it? I never even had a chance to get anything from Qingfengyi."

"Waaaaah, I've been chasing Qingfengyi ever since it appeared, and I only have one player identity. I haven't bought a single thing in real life. I didn't even get to send physical gifts back then, waaaaah."

"I'm a player, and I really regret not working harder during the flower collection event. Otherwise, I would have had a real Qingfengyi item too, sob sob. Now it's so hard to get, and even items from her partners are hard to find, sob sob."

"It's not that I don't want things from other studios, it's just that I feel something's not right if Qingfengyi isn't involved, but I can't get things that Qingfengyi is involved in, sob sob sob."

......

The comments that were originally asking to buy suddenly turned into lamentations about not being able to get Qingfengyi's items; clearly, there were too many people complaining. But Qingfengyi was also helpless; what could they do if the goods were sold out?

We've hired so many embroiderers, tailors, and seamstresses—over a hundred now. But they produce very few works. Unlike Lin Shuying, who can produce a piece every two or three months, they need six months, or even a year, to create a single high-quality piece. They do have plenty of practice pieces, but those are all souvenirs and samples sent to partners on other planets; they don't actually sell anything.

Qingfengyi's current money-making model is truly an economic miracle. They haven't sold many items, and the game business has reached its revenue saturation point, yet money keeps flowing in.

There's so much money you can't even spend it all!

Investors are pouring money into this place like it's nothing, and Qingfengyi doesn't even want it, which is outrageous.

External partners expanded like a whirlwind, spreading faster than Barbie Fashion. Seven years of accumulation culminated in an unstoppable explosion.

However, Qingfengyi expanded not into gaming, but into real industries. Real industries are inherently more solid than service industries like gaming, which generate quick profits. They have more fixed assets, are more stable, and are more welcomed by planet owners.

It would be difficult not to develop rapidly.

After the women's clothing passed by, the men's clothing followed closely behind. The same color scheme, but with less embroidery; however, there were large butterfly and flower embroidery designs on the sleeves and the two corners of the front hem.

The three-piece Taoist robe consists of a lake-blue outer garment, a pink inner garment, and a blue inner garment. It is paired with a thin silk sash made of butterfly-patterned rope and adorned with a fine jade pendant. There is also a pink and blue two-tone headscarf, with two lifelike sapphire-carved butterflies on the tie.

The workmanship of this outfit is so-so, but the jewelry is absolutely stunning!

They've completed all the jewelry pieces from Lin Shuying's draft; each piece alone could be selected for the Qingfengyi auction. This studio is clever; they're selling them as a set, at several times the price of individual items.

Buyers at sales events like Qingfengyi tend to focus on the overall effect or make impulse purchases; as long as the visual impact is strong enough, they're willing to spend whatever it takes, even if it seems excessive. Of course, Qingfengyi's assessed prices won't leave either the buyer or the seller at a significant disadvantage.

Qingfengyi is serious about building a platform, a platform with a conscience. A poorly built platform can become a monster; I've seen too many examples of that in my past life. Especially during those years of a certain pandemic, money was so hard to earn that many people went crazy. Among them, the most thoroughly driven were intermediaries; a platform is essentially an intermediary.

The intermediaries who initially only profited from one end started profiting from both ends, and then did it twice. This is still relatively good; at least there was no extortion or robbery, unlike some who were genuinely committing robbery.

For example, unilateral dual contracts are most devastating in the food delivery industry. This market is so large that it could have supported over a billion people in China back then, and all of these people were exploited by food delivery intermediaries. Merchants are exploited, consumers are exploited, and platform employees are exploited—the three parties support a behemoth of a monster. And this monster can't be removed because the lifeblood, even the heart, of all three parties is tightly gripped in its hands.

Lin Shuying doesn't want the platform she personally built—aimed at helping those who inherit and promote Chinese culture with beautiful principles like fairness, friendliness, promotion, exchange, and assistance—to become a monster that devours people. Beautiful things must adhere to their original intentions. The original founders should also do their utmost to prevent future generations from forgetting their original intentions and ancestral aspirations, and to refine the rules accordingly.

Two sets of butterfly-themed dresses were auctioned off for 3.2 million yuan. The studio staff jumped up and down in excitement, their exclamations echoing throughout the venue.

All designers whose works are participating in this sale have been invited to attend; they are not required to come, as invitations have been provided. The studio can also send two additional people to enhance the sale's sophistication, atmosphere, and scale, while also winning over these partners and boosting the reputation of the Qingfengyi Sale and Auction platform.

The studio was small, with only three people. They poured all their savings and time into this piece, originally aiming to have it auctioned by a museum. After Qingfengyi announced he wanted to buy works for sale, the three of them immediately brought it out, hoping to make a splash.
