It took Catherine the entire weekend to prepare all the necessary documents and related procedures for registering the company. However, she did not plan to register immediately but rather wait until "The Blair Witch" was released.
By the time Catherine returned to school, she was already exhausted. To ensure she could wake up the next day, she chose to go to school in the evening.
After returning to the dormitory, Catherine took a shower. Then, she saw Lily and the others approach her with mysterious smiles.
"What's going on?" Catherine was a bit puzzled.
"It's done," Lisa said with a smile.
"What's done?"
"Your birthday gift."
On her birthday, due to the signing event, Catherine's birthday was overshadowed. She didn't expect that after half a month, Lisa would still bring out a birthday gift?
"What is this?"
What kind of birthday gift takes so long to prepare? Catherine was very interested.
"This is for you."
Lisa went to the door and brought out a large package.
"Thank you."
Catherine opened the gift box and found a set of clothes and a pair of long boots inside.
Lisa's skills in fashion design had become increasingly proficient. Compared to a year ago, the clothes she designed were much better.
"Lisa, did you make these yourself?"
"Exactly."
"These shoes?"
"I made them myself too."
Lisa could design shoes?
Catherine found it interesting and took out the shoes. They were knee-high leather boots with a small heel—school rules stipulated that high heels could not exceed 6 centimeters. There was also a pair of matching garter stockings, which were nylon stockings.
"These are specially made to correct your walking posture, and you can wear them regularly."
"I'll try them on first."
It seemed quite interesting. Catherine had just taken a shower, so she put on the stockings and the black knee-high leather boots, then sat on the bed and fastened the complicated laces.
At this moment, Catherine noticed that the heels were padded inside, reducing the range of motion for her ankles and soles, and the entire foot was fixed in the shoes.
As for the garter straps, they were connected to the clothes. Catherine noticed that the outfit included a small vest that could support the stockings.
Catherine stood up suspiciously and took a few steps. Then, she saw Lily and the others looking at her with amazed expressions.
"It feels great. Why didn't I feel this way when I tried them on?"
Ada was the first to express her opinion.
"Really?"
Catherine only felt a slight change in her movements, but for a ballet student who often used her toes, high heels were not a big deal.
They led Catherine to a mirror. Due to school rules, Lisa had to "recess" the heels inside the shoes, but they still looked great.
She took a few more steps.
She didn't feel any significant changes, but walking in them looked really "comfortable" and "harmonious."
Indeed, her original out-toed walking style had improved significantly, making her look more feminine and almost perfect.
"Not bad."
Catherine sincerely exclaimed.
"Hmm~ My skills aren't just talk~ By the way, Kate, try on the clothes!"
The outfit consisted of two pieces: a white vest that resembled a bra. When she put it on, she found that it had a lifting effect, making her feel very comfortable. The second piece was a corset-like vest that supported the stockings. Catherine easily put it on, which caused amazement.
"Wow, Kate, how did you put it on so easily?! It took me ten minutes to put it on with Jenny's help..." Ada was surprised.
"Uh... It's okay?"
Should she say her waist was slim, or her bones were more flexible?
"Does it feel tight?" Lisa was also surprised. She seemed to have intended to make it with a corset function, but it might have failed?
"It's just a bit tight, and breathing is slightly restricted."
Maybe it was because her bones were more flexible?
"That's fine. Corsets are unhealthy, which is why girls in the 1920s switched from steel to fabric. Health first. Our goal is to help Kate correct her bad habits."
Jenny said.
"Alright." Lisa shrugged.
Catherine adjusted the garter straps and noticed that the corset made her chest look even more lifted.
She took a few more steps and found that walking felt really good, almost like a catwalk.
Catherine thought of the so-called "Ting Mei," "Magic Lift," and "Golden Armor" body-shaping clothes from the future.
In those times, these concepts in China were actually introduced from Europe and America.
Hey, this could be a business opportunity!
"Lisa, have you considered selling these products through our company?"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
Unlike Catherine, they didn't have to consider so many industries. Their only company was their fashion design company.
Although most of the management was handled by Homan, they were still shareholders.
Catherine herself didn't have the energy to manage it, but this concept could be very helpful for the development of the fashion company.
"Right, Kate is the best model~"
Lisa looked at Catherine again.
That was true. Catherine's most troublesome out-toed feet were corrected, and honestly, the outfit was really good.
"Actually, if we could change the shoes to shapewear, it might be even better. This way, girls can wear their favorite clothes while still looking good."
"Really? I'll have to think about it more. But these shoes have many more functions~" Lisa smiled.
"Really?"
"It's not finished yet, but I think it's almost there."
It seemed that the matter was settled.
However, at this moment, Lily took out something that looked like a plan.
"What's this?"
Catherine curiously leaned over and saw a line of text.
"Miss Kate's Ladylike Training."
"Hey, what's this?!"
Catherine jumped up.
"It's nothing, but I think you'll like it."
Damn...
Catherine considered whether she should be more assertive, but facing such a group of friends, she found it hard to be strong.
Strange, what kind of feeling was this?
...
After reading Shuang'er at nine years old, I felt depressed. This thing is more brutal than Little Round's face.
