Chapter 533
Lucy had never been so troubled before over her design.
Koven had told her before that most designers get their inspiration quite suddenly. She needed to make sure that she had post-it notes on her at all times to capture these sudden flashes of inspiration.
He even told Lucy that there were times when inspiration hit him just before he went to sleep at night and caused him to be sleepless for the next few nights.
Racking her brain constantly would not get her inspiration, and Lucy finally understood this after the last few days. She decided to use Koven's way of doing something to relax when she had no inspiration.
Lucy picked up a book to read, but she felt it was too boring. She decided to pick up her brushes to paint something. It had been a long time since she last painted, and the brushes felt a little unfamiliar in her hand. However, she slowly regained the familiarity of the brushes.
She painted the flowers in the garden, and they came alive under her paintbrushes. Even though Koven often praised her designs, Lucy found herself struggling the last few days. Things were not as easy as Koven had claimed.
Lucy realized that painting could temporarily fill up the emptiness she felt from having a lack of inspiration.
Koven had given her a challenge. He wanted her to design a gown that would surpass the one she had modified in half a month. Lucy thought this would be easy, but she was met with difficulties the moment she started work.
Lucy could hardly design a gown that would be as beautiful as the one before. She realized all her inspiration had been given to it.
She placed the gown on her bed and stared at it. She picked up her paintbrushes and began painting again.
The petals on the flowers were wrapped tightly as they had not bloomed. Lucy could imagine butterflies flying around it...
A vast expanse of black required some brightening up, much like those pretty flowers...
The old, rickety fence surrounded the budding flowers in a closure to be admired.
Lucy suddenly thought of something. If she wanted to display beauty, there was no need to be so reserved, just like these flowers that reached out with their stems.

was missing. The skirt had to be tightened around the hip, and the puffy sleeves had to be removed to showcase the pretty shoulders.
Lucy decided this was it. She tossed aside the painting in her hand and began work on the gown.
Another request of Koven was for her to create additional accessories on the gown to complement it.
There were many types of
accessories such as lace and
embroidery, but adding on too much
of them would just make the gown
too dreary. Lucy looked at the gown she had designed before and realized what the problem was. Content belongs to
For gowns to showcase sexiness and an alluring charm, embroidery would be too old-fashioned. It would not match the theme at all. Using lace would just make the gown look out of sorts.
That meant that she had to get rid of both elements.
Lucy thought about it and cut off the cloth at the back. It made the gown look much better.
She completed the gown according
to her idea. The gown was halfway there, but she was already quite satisfied at this point. Lucy finally understood how Koven felt when he got anxious trying to realize his inspiration.
When inspiration hit, she had to stop everything else she was doing. Otherwise, inspiration would escape from her.
