The dress draped over the model was a breathtaking, tender yellow-green, perfectly capturing the vivid hue of new spring grass sprouting from the damp earth. It radiated a vibrant, vernal energy.
Intricate, lifelike flowers adorned the flowing fabric, creating a dreamy illusion that made the runway look like a mystical forest.
The bodice featured a magnificent, oversized floral structure that commanded attention.
Wearing it, the model looked exactly like an ethereal forest fairy.
It was utterly dazzling!
The moment the dress appeared, the audience erupted into a buzzing chorus of amazement. The frantic clicking of camera shutters grew deafening.
"Impossible! That... that's my dress!" Claire gasped, shooting up from her seat in the waiting area.
"Claire, what's wrong?" Elena asked sharply.
Panic laced Claire's voice. "Elena, I designed that dress! It is entirely identical to mine! How could Elaine possibly have my exact design? What am I going to do? I'm number 08! I'm up next!"
Claire was on the verge of tears, her hands trembling.
Everything had been perfectly prepared, only for her to discover that her fiercest competitor was showcasing her exact masterpiece.
"Claire, do not panic! Have someone bring me your design laptop right now. When they call your number, you walk out there just like you planned!"
"How can I do that?! The dresses are exactly the same! They've already seen hers first. If I walk out after her, they're going to accuse me of plagiarism!"
"Claire, leave this to me. Trust me," Elena said, gripping her sister's hands firmly.
Claire looked into Elena's steady eyes. Her younger sister always seemed to bring miraculous luck to their family when they needed it most.
She chose to trust her!
"Okay. I'll go get the model ready."
With that, Claire hurried backstage to prepare.
Out on the runway, Elaine's piece left the judges completely enamored. Their faces were alight with glowing praise and appreciation.
