Chapter 30 The Tailor Shop

Tang Yun has been very busy these days. He has already made an agreement with Compass that he is going to resign and start a clothing store.The store has been optimistic, so I found a small courtyard in Sanlitun.

The one facing the street has a facade room in the front, a small courtyard in the back, and two side rooms.

In this way, a small shop with a store in front and a factory in the back has taken shape.The rent is not cheap, 1000 a month, mainly because there are relatively large crowds around, and it is also close to Sanlitun Bar Street, so it is still affordable.

This was decided by Wang Xu. His plan was to do it for a year first. If he could achieve some results, he would continue. Otherwise, forget it and pay 2 yuan.

It is currently being renovated, and the walls and floors are made of wood. The tiles are not good enough these days. Wang Xu doesn't want to use white tiles to make it look like a toilet.

Marble and granite are gorgeous, but they are too expensive to be used.

So I can only use wooden floors. Although it is not cheap, there are many types to choose from, and it looks okay if you paint it.The quality is average, and this kind of decoration is short-term. There is no store that does not change its decoration for ten years.

The walls retain the original white walls, and are directly painted with a layer of latex paint, which is still imported. There is no domestic brand producing this thing these days, and ordinary people just paint it with whitewash.

Make some wooden shelves, grilles, and shapes on the wall, and paint it with light brown wood oil, which is very tasteful.

Don't dare to do this in the store, not to mention dust everywhere, and it will rub white spots on the clothes.

Originally, the big money was spent on the door, that is, the signboard, which could cost thousands of dollars outside.But who told Wang Xu to know, he just bought some colored plexiglass, and made the signboard with a jigsaw.

Clothing stores are generally not open at night, but this place may still be a night market business, so there are spotlights installed underneath, and the effect is not bad with a dozen lights.

Find a carpenter to make some shelves, do some modeling, and buy some furniture.Wang Xu is planned as an independent designer brand store.That is to say, only a small amount of ready-made garments are sold here, and it is considered a success if the ready-made garments can be sold for operating costs, but most of them have to be customized.

Customization generally relies on word of mouth, and no one believes you at first.But with Wang Fei, at least the publicity at the beginning is not a problem, and it will be done slowly in the later stage. Anyway, I don't expect this thing to make a lot of money.

This thing is playing a forceful game, and it is used to earn fame.If you really want to make money, you have to wait until you have a strong style before sinking into the ready-made clothing market and making branded clothing or something.

The shop currently has only one employee, and the application for an individual industrial and commercial service license is the same as that of a tailor shop.The applicant is Tang Yun herself.

The rest are not qualified. Wang Fei has a Xiangjiang passport, Wang Xu is a student, and Wang Xu's parents both have formal jobs, so Tang Yun can only apply.

It is enough to sign a share agreement in private. There were many such things at the time, which later caused many disputes and lawsuits, but a tailor shop has little to do with it.

The Wangchao brand was registered under Wang Fei's name and set up a short-selling company, and directly found someone to register in Xiangjiang and China.

Tang Yun has a strong sense of ownership. After half a month of busy work, she finally got almost busy with all kinds of things and waited for the decoration to be completed and open for business.

The first batch of ready-made garments was the one given by Wang Xu. It was the kind cut out of kraft paper. Tang Yun bought new fabrics and stayed up all night to process them. make.

It is mainly used for publicity, and someone bought it and reproduced it in time.

Those kraft paper patterns are the core competitiveness of this small tailor shop. Regardless of the small tailoring, it seems that many tailors can do it.

But what you do is different from others, either twisted here or crooked there.

Cutting needs to consider not only the style of the clothes, but also the shape of the human body, the situation when wearing it, the deformation under different actions, the stretchability of the material, the ratio of different materials, and so on.

Good clothing is comfortable to wear and at the same time pleasing to the eye.However, the clothes made by many tailors often have a sense of cheapness, which looks similar at first glance, but if you look closely, there is something wrong, and then the more you look at it, the more wrong it becomes.

Wang Xu's craftsmanship was honed in that kind of world, and that kind of world has very strict requirements for clothes, which must be easy to use, but also look good, not leaky, but also cover up, easy to wear, and easy to take off.

In addition, Wang Xu has traveled through so many worlds of that kind, so he knows everything about women's bodies.Not only Chinese, European, ugly country, small day, universe country, white, black, immortal, Buddhist, foreign race, demon, he is not familiar with it.

But he really lacks understanding of the special body type, because there is no such person in that world.

For a simple hip shape, dozens of types can be distinguished under Wang Xu's hands.

One morning a few days ago, Wang Fei returned home after practicing, and was about to wipe her body. Seeing that Wang Xu was not lying on the bed with his dead body, but was seriously working at his desk, she went to look at it curiously.

"what are you drawing"

"Industrial Base"

"Your family's industrial foundation needs to paint naizi"

"I am developing industrial standards for naizi"

"Aren't you a bit too rogue?"

"You don't understand, without this, how do you think underwear is made? Why do you think foreign underwear is more comfortable than domestic ones. Oh, by the way, you don't like to wear them anyway." Wang Xu complained

Wang Fei doesn't like to wear underwear. In recent years, she just doesn't like to wear it at home.In the future, it is estimated that I feel that I am already an old driver, and I don’t even like to wear it when I go out.

"Then what model am I?" Wang Fei curiously took the chest chart and tasted it, and compared her own with great interest.

"You can assign a number WC-X-001 to your breast shape. WC is the abbreviation of Wang Chao, X stands for breast shape, and 001 is number 1. You are Nan Bowan," Wang Xu explained seriously.

"Really, you are so kind." Wang Fei was very happy, thinking that the boy should think about himself even when he was working.

"Well, yes, they are all defined from childhood to adulthood, and there is no one younger than you." Wang Xu explained seriously.

"Well, ah, ah, I hit"

Work ends, war begins

"Ouch, baji, my dear"

The war ends and the movement begins.

For several days in a row, Wang Fei watched Wang Xu draw various pictures of female body parts without thinking, from a few, to dozens, to hundreds, and finally formed several thick books.

It includes a comparison album of women's body shape, shoulder shape, chest shape, waist shape, hip shape, leg shape, and back shape.There are hundreds of pages of simple sketches, and several thick books.

It also defines its own judgment standards, measurement standards, and even clothing-making precautions for various body types in detail.

This is a habit of Wang Xu. In industry, standards come first.This is the first draft of a complete internal system and a frame of reference for future garments.

After going through a tailor shop and collecting data for a few years, it can almost be finalized and become the foundation of a clothing brand.

But these haven't been handed over to Tang Yun yet, the brothers still have to settle accounts, and trust still needs to be cultivated.
