The Lost Mark

Chapter 11: The dress

"You can't make it that way!" I heard Alex yell.

"Yes, we can." Nee yelled back."

"Have you guys even sewed before?"

"I'm good at embroidery." Rina defended.

"Embroidery is not the same as sewing a dress."

"They have the same principle."

Alex shook her head. "Look at the design then."

"What's wrong with the design?" Nee demanded.

"Do you even have a sense of fashion?"

Rina and Nee glared at her.

"It's not even your dress." Rina declared.

"It's my wedding."

I put my things on the table and thought about jumping into their argument, but Gregory came up to me.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." He warned

I looked at the scene again.

"It's my wedding too and Nee is the flower girl," Rina Exclaimed

"Says who?" Alex demanded

"Me."

"She's too old to be a flower girl."

"Says who?"

"Me and practically everyone else. She is thirteen, not three."

"Does that matter? It's my wedding."

"Mine too."

"I'm the bride."

"Technically I am too."

"You're the groom."

Alex glared at her.

"Plus it was my idea."
"I forgot how chaotic weddings are," Gregory said.

"Any progress finding the priest?" I asked.

He shook his head." I would have to go out of town."

I held up a package. "Then you are in luck. The guy at the shop gave me this to give to you."

He looked at it. "What is it?"

I shrugged. "A job."

His eyes started to twinkle and he opened it as if it was a gift. I laughed watching him. He loves to work. He read it, then ran over to the books. I shook my head. He is absolutely ridiculous. I got out my tools and grabbed my wood. Alex noticed me.

"Alesta."

I ignored her, but she didn't notice and brought the problem to me.

"Look at this design," Alex says shoving the paper my way.

It wasn't the best dress in the world. If I was honest it was ugly. It was completely embroidered and super long in all ways possible. Every bit of embroidery seemed to have its own theme. There was beading all over of it all as well.

"Well, do you like it?" Rina inquired

"I don't think that we have enough supplies for this," I said diplomatically.

"I did not think of that," Rina said.

"If we cut down the fabric and the embroidery it should be fine."

Rina looked at Nee. "Let's redesign it."

I gave a sigh of relief when they left.

"It's ugly," Alex said.
