With his reply, Cecilia Adler went inside to sketch, her mind at ease.
The room Uncle Shaw had prepared for her was filled with beautiful clothes, many of which were styles you couldn't even find in the big department stores.
If she made children's clothes based on those designs and put them in a department store...
'They should sell well, right?'
Once they were made, she could have Claire Jocelyn try them on. She'd pick out the ones she thought were prettiest, make a few more of those, and then put them in Director Ellison's department store for a trial run.
If they sold well, she would find a struggling clothing factory and negotiate a mass-production deal.
If all went smoothly, she would only need to invest money to turn a profit.
Even if it didn't work out, she wouldn't lose much.
Claire could wear the clothes, and the family could use the leftover fabric.
...
She spent the whole afternoon sketching the designs she wanted to make and gave them to Aunt Moss.
