Torn Between

chapter 11: Iris crafts

Iris is immersed in her design studio, passionately working on her latest gown creations.

Narration (Iris's Thoughts): The design studio, is a realm where creativity dances with fabric and imagination. With each delicate stitch, I weave stories into these gowns, tales of elegance, dreams, and the essence of the wearer.

The room is adorned with fabric swatches, sketches pinned to the wall, and a mood board capturing the inspiration behind each gown. Iris, fueled by passion, meticulously brings her visions to life.

Iris (Speaking to Herself): "The curvature of the neckline, the flow of the fabric—every detail matters. Each gown is a canvas, and I'm the storyteller painting its narrative."

She adjusts a lace detail, steps back to admire the drape, and then dives back into the creative process. The rhythmic hum of the sewing machine accompanies her focused gaze.

Narration (Iris's Thoughts): In the silence of the studio, I find my symphony. It's not just about creating dresses; it's about capturing emotions, celebrating individuality, and letting the fabric whisper its tale.

As Iris sketches, cuts, and sews, her designs evolve, taking on a life of their own. The air is filled with the scent of fabric, a fragrance that tells the story of dedication and artistry.

Iris (Reflecting): "Every gown has its soul, its personality. I want each wearer to feel like they're stepping into a world of enchantment when they put on my creations."

The studio clock ticks, marking the passage of time as Iris continues her dance with fabric, lost in the magic of design. Each stitch brings her closer to unveiling a collection that embodies her artistic vision.

The scene ends with Iris deeply engrossed in the design process, crafting gowns that will carry her narratives to the hearts of those who wear them.

Scene: Iris is in her design studio, busy checking the delivery of cloth and inspecting materials for her gown creations.

Narration (Iris's Thoughts): In the world of design, every delivery is a promise—a canvas waiting to be painted, a story waiting to unfold. Today, the shipment has arrived, and the studio is abuzz with anticipation.

The delivery boxes are neatly arranged, each one holding the potential to bring Iris's visions to life. She opens them one by one, revealing bolts of fabric, delicate lace, and embellishments that shimmer with possibilities.

Iris (Examining Fabrics): "Ah, the touch of silk, the richness of velvet. These fabrics hold the key to the textures I've envisioned for the upcoming collection."

She runs her fingers over the fabrics, feeling their textures and envisioning how they will complement the designs. The colors and patterns come alive in her mind, and she smiles with satisfaction.

Narration (Iris's Thoughts): Material selection is an art in itself. It's about finding the perfect balance, the interplay of colors, and the tactile sensation that will resonate with those who wear my creations.

Moving on to the lace and embellishments, Iris meticulously inspects each piece. She lays them out on the design table, arranging and rearranging, ensuring that every detail aligns with her artistic vision.

Iris (Inspecting Materials): "Attention to detail is key. The intricacies of lace, the sparkle of embellishments—they all contribute to the narrative woven into these gowns."
