Chapter 7 - Chapter Seven: Lyanna Trying On 1907 Gowns Part One

"Come in." Edith responds to the knock at the door.

Then a middle-aged woman enters the room.

"You summoned me, Lady Edith." The young woman asked as she curtsied in greeting Edith.

"Yes, I did. Lyanna, may I introduce you to Ms. Nigar Marsellio. She is a dressmaker who lives in Biltmore Village. Nigar, this is Lady Lyanna Asher." Edith says in a sincere and calm voice.

"It's an honor to meet you, Nigar." Lyanna responds, curtsying in greeting.

"Please, the honor is all mine, Lady Lyanna." Nigar responds, curtsying in greeting. "I have brought the gowns that you have requested, Lady Edith. Is everyone prepared? We can begin trying them on and make sure that they fit properly on Lady Lyanna." Nigar responded to Edith in a neutral tone.

"Excellent. I'm curious to see what you have brought us here today, Nigar."

"Of course. You are going to love the gowns that I have brought you here today, Lady Edith. I've just finished designing them. So no other lady has seen them yet." Nigar responded with a confident tone.

"Excellent. Asporça." Edith speaks to Asporça using a neutral tone. 

"Yes, my lady." Asporça responded in a neutral tone.

"Will you assist Nigar with the gowns?" Edith says it to Asporça in a neutral tone.

"Of course, my lady." Asporça responded in a neutral tone.

"Shall we begin?" Nigger, she says in a confident tone.

"Yes." Everyone agrees in unison.

Asporça, Nigar, and Lyanna are going behind the changing curtain. They assist Lyanna in putting on the first gown.

Then Lyanna came out from behind the changing curtain and gazed at the first gown in front of the mirror.

She's wearing a pink organza and silk gown. A tiny pink ruffle adorns the top of her gown. The gown features some light pink and silver embroidery along with pink lace trim. That adorns her body.

"Wow, this is beautiful," Lyanna says in an amazed tone.

"I agree, Lyanna. You look gorgeous in that gown." Edith says those words with an amazed expression. "Does it fit you okay, Lyanna?" Edith asked in a curious tone.

Lyanna twirled slightly, admiring the way the fabric flowed around her. "It fits perfectly! I can't believe how light it feels," she replied, her face lighting up with joy. "It's like I'm wearing a cloud!" Lyanna exclaimed, spinning around once more. Edith smiled, feeling a rush of happiness for her friend as she watched her revel in the moment.

"Well, I am delighted to hear that, Lyanna. Are you ready to try on the next gown?" Edith asked with a curious tone.

"I'm ready." Lyanna says with enthusiasm.

Asporça, Nigar, and Lyanna are going behind the changing curtain. They assist Lyanna in putting on the second gown.

Then Lyanna came out from behind the changing curtain and gazed at the second gown in front of the mirror.

She's wearing a beautiful light blue silk gown. Golden ornaments adorn the gown. The gown also features silver buttons. The gown also features golden lace trims.

As she twirled in front of the mirror, the fabric shimmered and caught the light, making her feel like a princess. "This is absolutely stunning!" Lyanna exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with delight as she admired her reflection.

Edith smiled as she watched Lyanna in the mirror, a sense of pride swelling within her. "You look absolutely radiant, my dear! That gown was made for you," she said warmly. "The way it catches the light is simply magical."

Lyanna turned to Edith, her smile widening. "Thank you so much, Edith! Your words mean the world to me," she replied, her voice filled with excitement. "I can't believe how beautiful it feels to wear this gown. It makes me feel like I can conquer anything!" She twirled again, the fabric flowing gracefully around her. "I'm so grateful to have you here to share this moment with me."

Edith beamed back at her, her eyes shimmering with pride. "You deserve every bit of this joy, Lyanna. Just remember, the gown alone doesn't make you shine; it's the confidence and spirit that you carry within yourself. 

Nigar looked at Lyanna with excitement and asked, "Are you ready for the next gown?" 

Lyanna smiled, her heart racing with anticipation. "Absolutely! I can't wait to see what it looks like!" She felt a rush of energy and happiness. 

Asporça, Nigar, and Lyanna are going behind the changing curtain. They assist Lyanna in putting on the third gown.

Then Lyanna came out from behind the changing curtain and gazed at the third gown in front of the mirror.

Lyanna is now wearing a dark blue viscose and velvet gown. It has beautiful gold embellishments and intricate golden lace.

Lyanna twirled slightly, watching the fabric flow around her, and a wide smile spread across her face. "I feel like a princess!" she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with delight as Asporça and Nigar clapped enthusiastically in approval.

Asporça stepped forward, adjusting the neckline of the gown with a gentle touch. "You look absolutely stunning, Lyanna! This gown was made for you," she said, her voice filled with admiration as Nigar nodded in agreement, her eyes wide with excitement.

Edith commented on the gown, her eyes glimmering with appreciation. "The way the fabric flows is simply enchanting," she said, her voice warm and inviting. "It perfectly complements your figure and enhances your natural beauty." As she spoke, the joyous atmosphere around them seemed to grow even more vibrant, reflecting the happiness of the moment.

Lyanna smiled at Edith's kind words, her heart swelling with gratitude. "Thank you so much, Edith," she replied, her voice light and cheerful. "I greatly appreciate your compliments. It means a lot coming from you, especially since you have such a keen eye for fashion." She glanced at Nigar, who was still beaming with excitement. "And I couldn't have done it without your help, Nigar! Thank you." The warmth of their friendship surrounded them, adding to the joy of the occasion.

Nigar smiled brightly and asked Lyanna, "Are you ready for the next gown?" Her enthusiasm was infectious, and the excitement in the air was palpable. 

Lyanna nodded, her heart swelling with gratitude for her friends' support. "Absolutely! I can't wait to see what we have next." The warmth of their friendship continued to shine, adding to the joy of the moment.

Nigar nodded her head in happiness. "Well, let's get you changed."

Asporça, Nigar, and Lyanna are going behind the changing curtain. They assist Lyanna in putting on the fourth gown.
