Chapter 78 Your Highness, thank you! I have never worn such beautiful clothes!
Peter laughed, feeling happy from the bottom of his heart.
He saw not only fashion, nor just pleasing his aunt, but also how Russia would become a fashion capital in the future.
In the original history, although Britain was even more powerful than France, in terms of culture and all civilized life, the standards advocated by European countries were French.
But now, the Rococo costumes in front of us obviously have a lot of room for improvement.
This means that even in France, this style of clothing is probably just beginning.
Peter threw two items to Sofia and Vorontsova, and opened other boxes.
For a time, a wonderful atmosphere spread in the room.
Sofia and Vorontsova simply didn't know where to look.
Peter saw that among the ten boxes, several particularly large boxes contained not fashionable clothes but bustles.
Peter called the butler and asked about the popularity of these fashions in France.
When I heard that Madame Pompadour had just designed it, she couldn't help but be overjoyed before she even left the French palace.
Moreover, the housekeeper reported that Pompadour was very surprised when he heard that someone wanted to buy her clothes.
Peter laughed.
Then he saw Sofia and Vorontsova caressing their clothes there, and Peter ordered:
"You two change."
It is naturally not as easy to convince my aunt with words as it is with a real person demonstration.
Sofia and Vorontsova looked at each other, both excited, but then they were confused:
"But Your Highness, how should I wear this?"
Vorontsova looked at the butler, who bowed and reported:
"Your Highness, I have brought two stout women, but they are vulgar looking and are waiting outside the palace."
Peter waved his hand and sent a guard to pick him up.
Then, the butler left.
Sophia's face suddenly burned.
Because, at this time, in the palace, apart from the two women who helped with dressing, only Vorontsova and some maids were left.
And there is only one man, Your Highness.
Peter had no intention of going out at all. He said to the other maids:
"You should learn from it and see how you wear this kind of clothes in the future."
"yes!"
The maids responded one after another and were all curious.
Peter then looked at Sophia and said:
"Sofia, the Orthodox Christian body test requires you to take off your clothes and use that kind of test. You weren't afraid just now, so why should you hesitate now?"
“Am I worse than an Orthodox Christian?”
Vorontsova couldn't help but feel a little relieved after hearing this. She was favored by His Highness as soon as she arrived. It didn't even take a while, it was too fast.
Sophia was a little frightened, and she immediately said:
"Your Highness, don't be angry, I will change it right now..."
Seeing Sophia hurriedly untying her clothes, Peter smiled slightly and motioned to several maids to come over and help.
Soon, Defense·0·Sofia appeared in front of us.
Peter just glanced at the two stout women and said:
"let's start."
Since there were only two women to help, the clothes were difficult to wear, so Vorontsova waited first.
Peter was sitting on one side, and a maid was standing next to him holding a piece of clothing. Peter was stroking the fabric of the skirt, thoughtfully.
This fabric is both soft and shiny, and obviously cannot be used by ordinary people.
In fact, fashion has always been popular from top to bottom. Whether it is France or Russia, it all started from the royal family.
My aunt is the first crab to lead fashion, and she is very crazy in this regard.
Historical records are very clear: a fire in the palace burned four thousand of her gowns.
After my aunt passed away, more than 15,000 dresses, thousands of pairs of shoes and two large boxes of silk stockings were taken from the palace.
Peter watched quietly and found that this kind of clothing could not be worn by one person.
Especially that bustle.
Seeing the two women tightening their bras around Sophia's waist, even though Sophia's waist was now slender enough, she still showed signs of pain from time to time.
If it were an aunt...
hehe.
It must have been Polya who dressed her aunt, she was exhausted!
Then Peter saw that the bustle was fixed, enlarging the volume of the lower body.
During the whole process, Sofia didn't dare to look at Peter. She tried her best to behave perfectly for fear of making His Highness unhappy.
When Sofia was completely dressed, Vorontsova and the maids couldn't help but gasp.
beautiful!
It’s unimaginable to have such clothes!
The evenly dyed gorgeous silk is dotted with exquisite patterns and detailed embroidery.
The wide skirt is decorated with ruffles, ruffles, buckles, lace and artificial flowers. The use of completely pink tones perfectly expresses Sofia's figure.
Strange flowers and strange embryos, like jade giving birth to light...
At this moment, the palace seemed to light up.
Peter was also surprised. Although there was still room for improvement, it was already very impactful for the fashions of various countries at this time.
What made him even more satisfied was that Sophia finally no longer had to expose her two hemispheres.
Of course, your own things can only be appreciated by yourself.
Standing in front of the mirror, Sophia was in disbelief.
She is so beautiful, gorgeous, and elegant.
Yes, it is elegant.
It's very subtle, yet obvious, yet not contradictory at all, a very harmonious feeling.
"Your Highness, thank you! I have never worn such beautiful clothes!"
Sophia turned around and said excitedly.
Peter smiled slightly and said, "Just like it. Women are more similar in this aspect, so my aunt should also like it."
Then he motioned for Vorontsova to change.
Then I looked at Sophia's bustle. It was too big. It would be difficult to get in and out of the carriage.
But this will be improved later.
When Sofia saw Vorontsova changing clothes like her, something strange flashed in her eyes.
Some of the ten boxes were in the style of a maid, but when she saw that the maid was not wearing a maid outfit, she felt a warning sign in her heart.
What is the relationship between this maid and His Highness?
After everyone had changed their clothes, Peter did not forget to give the steward a reward.
Vorontsova not only rewarded him with two hundred rubles, but also rewarded the twenty-seven surviving serfs with eighty rubles each.
And exempted them from taxes and servitude for three generations.
In fact, they were in Vorontsova's estate, and everything was paid to Vorontsova, which meant that Vorontsova was directly exempted.
Although these rewards all come from Vorontsova, Peter will treat Vorontsova well in the future.
Because the two women were strong, Peter stayed in the palace temporarily.
