"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. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxaGaiO0pY

"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. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLg7bJkg47
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ2YecHs6B
"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!220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4ieuE98XA
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7utBSDhrb8
"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. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNufWoj47ZW
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExSqODNeCr
"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. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkVgGVW845
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyd9kKjA29
"These have touched the royal hands?" Shelby poked, as if not hearing Lily the first time. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2WQ4GE6vF
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu03YcgmpTy
"Probably." The three girls looked between each other before squealing. Clarice winced for a nanosecond before speaking. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4OJdjN2Sz
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXavj2EiZIx
"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?" 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1fIDbC3TN
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSLoAMGx3B
"Yes, Clarice." Lily bowed her head slightly, knowing exactly how her evening was going to be spent. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GNZrFKd96
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0rdbr69LS
"Good." Clarice smirked slightly. Happy with Lily's response, she left Lily to deal with hell. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4Xd7UmivO
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzdzCq7Mz0
"I want the pink!" Betty cried out, tugging the material with her fingers. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr3igPDGgM
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJJW86Mmxm
"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. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDJYFucS3w
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmEeo7ckOi
"But I said it first!" Betty pulled it back into her hands, tightening the grip as she tried to cradle it. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfSpNFHely
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesBAk2NhFu
"But I am the eldest!" Margaret tried pulling it from the youngest sister. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08cPiXHkbp
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb4Eb16Hpr
They are going to ruin the material, Lily thought as she walked towards them. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFpYWu8yEH
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8qdVQNL3j
"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. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG591zTUeTC
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxinnIhzPBr
"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. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC8vk4S6Gd
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpej6S2YCNV
"I want the yellow." Shelby had wrapped herself in the material whilst the other two had been squabbling over the pink material. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EwdIFXtv4
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLPHb4DzW6
"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. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3IJ79B9GN
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MX39JXyxY
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. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClE23pDC3H
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDvadQ4ahC
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. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLtbQKxb7f
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz1PtsCwdg
"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. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHyTpzyxri
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSJM2Spvkh
"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. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk7f3mvTVK
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGTQyKNTOj
"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. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4brA3sFgYM
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9HVQFxDnc
"But what if it is cold tomorrow night, Shelby?" Lily passed Shelby the pad that homed her design before walking over to Betty. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31uy9Dih9R
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBbT52vKS0
"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!" 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSiooiF6pG
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19cDKDn8lD
"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. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIKNZ5NOd1
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7noCQsrd4s
"I am happy." Margaret stated, forcing her pad into Lily's unready and unexpected hands as she held onto her own pad. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjPg5emsKK
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ54jypIfs
"So am I." The other two declared shortly after. Lily smiled, taking their pads from them. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHEfLIjHtC
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYlfpuflsZ
"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. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxatgBCSIQl
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGdGZg0NaS
"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. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqfy2oBmrC
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs23ijOjcNj
"Happy?" Lily asked once Shelby placed the yellow dress with sleeves that finished at her elbow onto her body. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xav7Mt209
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmX6hFVejl
"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. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bNZ1BKmLX
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMWtdaOakt
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.220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWNns67a9D
220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVaYxlUGWh
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. 220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQFlQf31yX

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.
