Nina smiled. “I’ll leave the medical school’s party planning to you.”
Frowning, Janet was silent for a long time.
She had no experience in organizing parties, so she was afraid she wouldn’t do a good job. “Miss Hogan, maybe someone else should handle this.”
As a matter of fact, Nina had known she would say this. She blinked and looked at her pleadingly. “You’re the only one here in our medical school who knows a bit of embroidery and costume design. We can’t let the students go on stage naked, can we?”
Since the costumes for the performances at the party would follow the theme of the party, the costumes would have to be designed and custom-made by the students of the school.
With downcast eyes, Janet contemplated for a few seconds.
Now that everyone knew that she could embroider and design clothes, it would seem unreasonable if she didn’t agree to do it.
Once again, she met her teacher’s pleading look and nodded slightly. “I’ll do it.”
After all, designing a few outfits wasn’t difficult for her anyway.
At the dance studio, Janet sat in a corner and watched the rehearsal. She didn’t intend to perform at the party, so she did not participate in choreographing the dance.
Instead, she was holding a book and pen as she observed the style of the dance and music so that she could design costumes that suited their performance.
The music leaned toward the classical side, and the dance movements weren’t exaggerated. It was more or less like the ancient Chinese traditional dance.
Although it wasn’t particularly energetic, the medical school was probably the only one that would choose such a relatively quiet tune.
As she listened to the music, Janet started to sketch in the corner with full concentration.
It had been a long time since she sketched, so she didn’t know what the final result would look like.
Even she herself was looking forward to it.
Ten minutes passed, and a blue and white cheongsam with classic Chinese characteristics emerged on the initially blank paper.
On the cheongsam, there were peonies and blue and white motifs that were usually found on porcelain.
For these patterns, Janet intended to embroider them by hand.
The good thing was that there would only be three medical students going on stage, so she only had to design three of the same outfits. As such, the process wouldn’t take too long!
Even though she thought so, she still felt that the combination of the blue and white motifs and the peonies were a bit awkward. The more she looked at it, the more unsatisfied she was with it.
She simply crumpled it up and started from scratch…
Meanwhile, the three students at the dance studio were a little worried as they watched Janet crumple up the sketches.
Professional clothing design would take several days to finalize before she could start working on the garments.
Although she knew a little about designing, she wasn’t a professional after all. In fact, it was far from it!
Despite that, the other girls were gracious about it. As long as whatever Janet designed was wearable, it didn’t really matter what it looked like.
After only an hour of rehearsal, the medical students left the dance studio.
Not long after they left, another class came to the dance studio to rehearse and design their costumes.
In the studio, they were discussing among each other. “We even have to design our own costumes this year. What a challenge to test our skills.”
“You should be grateful. Fortunately, we’re graphic design students and it’s common for us to design our own outfits. This party will be a good opportunity for us to make a name for ourselves.”
“By the way, that girl Janet who refused to join the design club is taking on the role of the costume designer.”
“What? She’ll be involved in designing the costumes for the performance this year?”
“Yeah, I wonder if she’s any good.”
