"I have returned." Lilly called through the mansion she called home since she was a child, whilst removing her mask and placing it with her knife. The sisters rushed to her within seconds of hearing her voice. All three of them; Betty, Margaret and Shelby. They snatched the chest from Lily and ran to the closest table, before rummaging through it. Silks and Nylon. Rolls of it. That is what Lily had brought to the house. Of multiple colours; pink, yellow, green, purple and blue. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zHc8r3hhG

"Well done, Lily." Her stepmother, Clarice, praised in a strained voice. "But you have forgotten the bills need paying. And these materials will not pay for that." She spat at Lily. Betty squealed, gaining Clarice's attention, giving Lily the chance to move out of her stepmothers' way. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuG4Rd1I4n
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakEn486hUg
"Pearls! There are pearls in here." Betty ran over to her mother to show her. Clarice held them close to her face and inspected them, humming as though lost in thought. Lily stood, rubbing her hands, hoping to high heaven that they were real. Of course they are real. The Queen would not have fake pearls!221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LrCS0fnzA
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMx1i2IFkb
"It seems you have done exceptionally well, Lily. May I ask, where did these come from?" A usual enquiry Clarice threw at Lily after every time she really did well. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQuZVCYQei
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55pgrhDSFy
"The royal cart." Every pair of eyes snapped to Lily's body, wide. Betty, Margaret and Shelby all looked down at the materials they were holding in their hands before looking back up at Lily and their mother. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ0PCtzYQ4
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw28ufjTKUl
"These have touched the royal hands?" Shelby poked, as if not hearing Lily the first time. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvxSvE5E9W
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvyZHY3q5e
"Probably." The three girls looked between each other before squealing. Clarice winced for a nanosecond before speaking. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sJwAn1TGv
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ujnFiGoZv
"That will be enough of that, girls." Lily could have kissed Clarice, but knew she was not that grateful. "It is a good job the royal family had picked those materials, because there is to be a ball, tomorrow night. The prince is in search of a bride. And my girls are invited. Along with... yourself. But you are to focus on my girls being the Belle of the ball. You got that?" 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvRa0IhR7X
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8IE2ORsPu
"Yes, Clarice." Lily bowed her head slightly, knowing exactly how her evening was going to be spent. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJk9I4c4t8
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8lcBUN9U8
"Good." Clarice smirked slightly. Happy with Lily's response, she left Lily to deal with hell. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfit4qKgFl
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VU2gXhkTx
"I want the pink!" Betty cried out, tugging the material with her fingers. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNziPi6uZQ
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz31HnUzwX
"No, I want the pink!" Margaret cried out louder than Betty had, as if outraged by Betty's statement, tugging at the material, trying to rip it free from Betty's grip. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyQTrXDEZ8
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk0IQSCn0A
"But I said it first!" Betty pulled it back into her hands, tightening the grip as she tried to cradle it. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpe1o6DjZr
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlCBOGTjC5
"But I am the eldest!" Margaret tried pulling it from the youngest sister. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgPwaUC6Oy
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoPi8MpSeI
They are going to ruin the material, Lily thought as she walked towards them. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePUvf4PRjK
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlPH9VhNSS
"Margaret, I think the purple will look so much better on you than pink. It is more sophisticated and mature." Lily held the roll out for her to feel and hold against her skin. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7UcL7rZMH
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvVmCoW5ZD
"Yes! This is it! I want the purple!" Margaret all but cried down the poor girls ears, ecstatic and confident that she will look better than the other sisters, just because Lily had told her that the purple will suit her more. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfM8J97Dwc
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7zSd3qSAB
"I want the yellow." Shelby had wrapped herself in the material whilst the other two had been squabbling over the pink material. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8ayDDDGlg
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEr7ja2wVR
"Excellent choice." Lily complimented Shelby before trying to unwrap. She made it as impossible as she could as she imaged herself being the brightest female at the ball. The prince will have to notice me, she thought as she daydreamed of the prince running across the ballroom just to hold her hand. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUGikM047b
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccWaDjjGAb
Lily sighed once she had untangled Shelby of the material and placed them back in the chest before walking up to the studio. The three girls followed, as if lost lambs. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kuMwr45Hp
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNGdb5ZBXt
It took Lily an hour alone to take the measurements and make the designs the three girls wanted. They were all younger than her, and it really showed. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F6XbVjoM3
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1Kr7FONqg
"I want my dress to have bows! Across here." Margaret yelled and ran her hand across her waist. "And it to be low here!" She roamed her hand across her small chest. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7i7UtUckl
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS6rbbyk4Z
"Why not have it here," Lily brought the material up slightly against Margarets chest. "And I will make it tight so you still show but they are covered too. Create a bit of mystery. As for the bow," Lily removed the material and placed it away before grabbing the paper that homed her basic design and pencil. "Why not have one bow here, showing off your waist." Lily sketched the bow before handing Margaret the pad to ponder over the design. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H7Anjgqnr
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4xBdG2dhZ
"Lily, I want mine to finish here." Shelby placed her hands across her arms, very high up her thin arms. Lily knew Clarice would have her head if she allowed them to be that high. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctyftbbkOU
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7oRp4Fyj0
"But what if it is cold tomorrow night, Shelby?" Lily passed Shelby the pad that homed her design before walking over to Betty. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTb3BnqKMn
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqaZuCuT4w
"I want mine to be frilly here." Betty's hands found themselves out in the air that surrounded her. "A big frilly dress like the princesses wear in the books!" 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkt9NKmmr7
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ApKQyrWbx
"Betty, you are thirteen now. You are a young lady. You are eligible to marry the prince. Do you think it shows sophistication?" Lily handed Betty the design of her dress before grabbing the last pad and sketching her own design. Straight. Black. Long sleeved. Perfect, Lily thought as she smiled and admired her own design. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FNpo9bSJu
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFRKRuwQd3
"I am happy." Margaret stated, forcing her pad into Lily's unready and unexpected hands as she held onto her own pad. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH4ilVy9HP
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctRKlzpjYj
"So am I." The other two declared shortly after. Lily smiled, taking their pads from them. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSgYG3AyjE
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM6YTVNgzK
"Great. Why don't two of you go to the tea room whilst I work with the other one of you and keep going until you all have a dress for tomorrow night?" Lily instantly regretted giving the three of them the option. "Shelby, I will work with you first as your dress is the simplest." The other two sulked but left the room so Lily could take Shelby's measurements and pin the dress around her figure, before hand sewing each part of the dress as Shelby stood still, a smile permanently on her face over being chosen first over her sister's. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw0ALeyDu8
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TEasC9tAq
"I just need to sort the hem out. Think you can slip out of your under layer to try this on properly for me?" Lily had not allowed her to decide for herself as she roll hemmed the dresses bottom and sleeves. She was smart to have already done so for the chest and back piece before Shelby modelled it. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtPcjF1Bp4
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOssQ2SOCuf
"Happy?" Lily asked once Shelby placed the yellow dress with sleeves that finished at her elbow onto her body. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhqwyJf87S
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sFo9p4Nm9
"Extremely, Lily." The two of them got the dress off without any trouble before Lily hung the dress up, out of sight, leaving Shelby to dress and leave the room. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYASmrnpFl
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HUw5CkTpL
Margaret was stood on the platform when Lily had returned from the wardrobe. It took a little longer with Margaret than it did with Shelby, and was grateful for the few seconds she had stopped working as their dressmaker. That's how long it took for Betty to skip her way into the room and start the process all over again.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5UNyGgrJo
221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg7UntQrwJ
It was time for bed when the three dresses had all been hidden away in the wardrobe located in the studio. Lily changed into her night gown, her feet feeling the air that they were deprived of, thanks to her boots, all day long. 221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkodhKh8O8i

Wilbert. The name appeared in her mind as the mansion lay silently on the rare occasion, and caused Lily to smile like a mad woman.
