Chapter 799:
Although her closet was already overflowing with luxury gowns from renowned designers, she had a particular affection for creations from Janessa Studio. Indeed, those three haute couture pieces from Janessa Studio had made a lasting impact.
Skyla, more composed, sat on the couch.
Having learned of Harleeâs talents in design at the previous recognition event, she found herself less excited this time around.
Given Briceâs keen eye, it took him merely ten minutes to pick out ten suitable dresses for Belinda and Skyla respectively.
Twenty models swiftly changed into the gowns, each one stepping out in turn. The first model to emerge captured everyoneâs attention. It wasnât her appearance but the dress she wore that dazzled.
The gown, a white mermaid style with a revealing cutout waist, showcased her slim physique. It featured lace embroidery, sheer sleeves, and a fish-tail hem that swished elegantly with each step she took. She resembled a pure mermaid from afar.
The gown boasted diamond buttons at the chest and waist, while the deep V-neck and the S-shaped curves of the waist came together to create an unexpectedly graceful and harmonious design.
As she moved, the gown seemed to dance with an ethereal grace.
The staff of the Sanderson family stood in shock, unable to hide their amazement. It was simply stunning.
Having served the Sanderson family for nearly four decades and witnessed numerous elegant gowns, they had thought the dress Harlee had worn at her recognition banquet was outstanding. Yet now, this oneâdesigned by Harleeâsurpassed even that.

Harleeâs eyes sparkled with intrigue as she observed the first model parade by. This appeared to be the same design she had submitted half a year earlier. Were her creations struggling to find buyers? She decided to discuss the latest market trends with Brice.
Unbeknownst to Harlee, the real issue wasnât the dresses themselves.
Her unpredictable nature in design submissions and unsteady custom orders had caused setbacks.
Brice had been forced to restrict the number of dresses each client could buy to keep his regulars happy.
As for why the design from six months ago had only just been completed, it was quite simple.
Brice had been displeased with the first two dresses, feeling they failed to truly capture the ethereal beauty of Harleeâs original design.
As a result, he decided to take control and sew the final version himself. This very gown had been finished just the day before and was yet to be showcased.
Upon seeing the dress, Belinda and Skyla instinctively sat up, their eyes brimming with admiration and fondness.
Such talent! Individually, the elements might have seemed mismatched, but Harlee had masterfully woven them into a coherent whole.
The presentation of the twenty dresses stretched on for nearly three hours. So engrossed were Belinda and Skyla that they revisited each design several times.
Brice then turned to Harlee, Skyla, and Belinda, saying, âMiss Sanderson, Mrs. Sanderson, Mrs.
Green, we have displayed the twenty dresses. There are about forty to fifty more awaiting. Would you like to continue?â
Brice was confident each dress was a perfect match for Belinda and Skyla.
