That makes sense. A good business knows how to meet consumer demand.

[She understands that much at least, even if she's new to trying her hand at fashion design.]

Precisely. So, I'd say work on your colors and your variety of styles.

Of course, the real trick, especially here. Is making clothes out of your designs.

[fashionably_strong]

That's where I need the most work. I can do things like repair a tear in the seam, sew a button back on, or a pants hem, but actually making the designs work? Haven't learned that yet.

[Although their family had money to get the repairs done professionally, she didn't like waiting and had learned to do those things herself.]

[hikaruorkaoru]

Okay. Let's forget your own designs right now.

[First he needs to know how basic this needs to get.]

Sewed from a premade pattern before?

[Bulla shakes her head.]

I was hoping to start there...and maybe learn how to modify patterns to different body types.

[She's rather petite and has a shorter torso. Some styles fit weirdly on her body.]

[hikaruorkaoru]

We'll work on constructing patterns. I've got a lot of cheap material for mock-ups, so we can have you practice on that.

Then we'll go into tailoring.

[fashionably_strong]

Sounds good to me!

[She's at least eager to learn, and she's got an eye for what looks good. It's just a matter if she can make it happen in 3D.]

[hikaruorkaoru]

We'll start with a very simple shirt. I have a few patterns you can use.

[fashionably_strong]

All right. Let's try a long-sleeved shirt to start with.

[Since she's a beginner, it definitely won't be the best thing ever, but at least someone might benefit from it if her work isn't too shoddy.]
