threads and ties

Baige and Grayson sit quietly pinning draped fabric around a dress form making another exquisite gown for a ball. As they pin away, music softly plays in the background. Baige finally says "Grayson darling, do you think we will be done with this years gowns anytime soon? My fingers are raw, my eyes sting, and my body is sore. Don't get me wrong, I love creating and designing, it's just been a long year!"
Grayson leans over and pecks her on her hand. "I know dear! I know! But just think of all the beautiful things we have created this year. How many fashionistas we have dressed for the ball. Remember dear, when Esmerelda referred those lovely Subetans to us for their Masquerade gowns, that we were sleeping in here instead of working ourselves silly in here. That each gown is bound to get us more and more business. And we love seeing our gowns dancing across the floor in that ballroom."
Baige sighs, nods her head and say "You're so right! Sorry for not being positive."

When Esmerelda saw our work, she pushed us to work more. She was excited to see what we had left to give. She has always been a great mentor and helped guide us to greatness along the way. We had hoped to one day be a featured design team in her shop, but she felt our gowns deserved more than just a feature.

Grayson and I have been a team since we were little. We seem to complete the others weakness. And it's pretty awesome to have a friend that can bring out the best in yourself! One of us will start a sketch, and the other will add to it or make small edits and before you know it, we have a drawing that we can't wait to bring to life.

Now, we are working on ball gowns! They are exquisitely detailed and some are so grand! Right now they are in such high demand, that we can't seem to keep up. We may have to find some more hands to help with all the sewing. Our gowns are so detailed, that it requires a lot of hand sewing. So I truly hope the owners of these gowns appreciate all the work we have put into them.

"Baige dear, are you done daydreaming over there? Come on now, girl! We've got to stay on track or we will never finish these."
