Melodies of Motion

Chapter 19

"Guys there is no way I am going in there. Way outside my price range," I say standing outside the Versace store. Felix and I.N. pull me inside, both laughing. A gorgeous woman with shoulder-length blonde hair approaches us at the door.

"Ah Mr. Lee. My name is Francesca, we have been expecting you. We have some dresses ready for Sylinda to try. We are happy you picked our establishment for her loaner dress." Loaner, thank God.

"Perfect Francesca," Felix says. Another woman approaches and offers the three of us champagne.

"We have a private fitting area set up for you. Please follow me," she says.

We head to the rear of the large store. She holds a curtain back for us and we enter the fitting room. Large mirrors fill up the wall on the right side. In the center of the room are two large red couches back to back. There is a marble table on each end of the couch. On the left side is a rack with dresses next to a door.

"Sylinda," Francesca says as I walk to the rack. "Mr. Hwang has already supplied us with your measurements. I saw your competition videos and took the liberty of picking colors that would go well with your skin tone," she says.

I see an array of styles in deep blue, black, silver, and pink. I pick up a long, backless black dress with a plunging neckline. "What do you think?" I ask Felix and I.N.

I.N. takes the dress from me and turns it around. "It's gorgeous but that would be better for a formal event. Maybe something short for Jimmy."

"Look at THIS!" Felix says. He is holding up a shimmering silver dress. It reminds me of my exhibition dress in a lot of ways.

"Oh, I like that. Francesca I would like to try this one first," I say. She takes me back into the dressing room to assist me with getting into the dress.

The dress is a tight, halter style at the top. As it comes down the front you can slightly see the definition in my abs. Once the dress passes my waist it loosens up slightly and flows down to my midthigh in the front. There are no sides to the dress making my breasts tastefully exposed on the sides. The back of the halter has two thin straps that tightly come down and run in between my shoulder blades. The straps come up under my arms and attach to the front of the dress right below my breasts. The back of the dress starts at my dimples and comes down to a point at midcalf. I will definitely have to go braless and wear a tiny thong. My shoes are Versace's Medusa chain heels, high heels with chains across the ankle and across the toes. They are in the same shimmery silver color. I put them on and then walk out of the changing room.

"Holy Shit!" I.N. says as he covers his mouth.

Meanwhile Felix's jaw is on the floor. Realizing his reaction he shakes his head to wake himself up, "Wow, you look stunning." He says quietly, causing me to blush. I face the mirror and smile at how well the dress fits.

Francesca stands next to me. "If I may say Sylinda, you don't need to try on any other dresses. This fits perfectly," she says. I see Felix and I.N. in the mirror nodding in agreement. "If you will tell me your ring size we will make sure to have matching jewelry for you when we deliver your dress to you at the studio."

"A size 4 or 5 will work for me," I say as we walk back to the dressing room.

"I suspected as much with your thin fingers. Will you need a stylist to get you ready for the show?" she asks.

Sierra would kill me if I didn't let her get me ready for the Fallon show. "Thank you for asking. I have a stylist who will be taking care of my hair and makeup." She helps me out of the dress and puts it inside a garment bag. "I really appreciate this so much. Versace has amazing clothes and I am thrilled to wear this tonight."
