She Turned Her Grief Into Wings novel Chapter 31

Shera smiled, gently wiping away the other woman's tears. "It's all right. I'm here. Let me see how we can fix this."

Zena nodded repeatedly. "Thank you."

Her tone was soft but entirely serious. "Since this happened, we need to ensure it never occurs again. Any critical notes must be distributed to everyone handling the piece. We have to double-check everything, set up inspection checkpoints for every garment, and require signatures from all parties before any cutting begins."

"Understood, Shera. I'll remember."

Shera nodded. "Go get back to work."

Seeing that her assistant was finally calm, she let out a quiet sigh of relief.

Turning her attention back to the desk, she couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

How was she going to fix this?

With only five days left, remaking the entire piece from scratch was out of the question.

What if she added a complementary accessory?

She immediately instructed her top embroiderers to clear their schedules to rush out an intricately stitched double-sided silk fan. Meanwhile, she dug through her old design portfolios to find an accessory that would pair flawlessly with the sheath dress.

Ultimately, her eyes landed on an elegant, open-front tasseled capelet.

The design perfectly suited Mrs. Winston's aura—classic yet undeniably regal. With a few tweaks to the embroidery pattern to match the dress, paired with the exquisite silk fan featuring a hibiscus and wild goose motif, it would be stunning.

It would make Mrs. Winston the most captivating woman in the room, while also saving Mr. Winston's romantic gesture.

Once the recovery plan was set, Shera called Mr. Winston directly to apologize.

She took full responsibility for the oversight that led to the issue, detailed her solution, and promised a generous discount on Mrs. Winston's future custom orders. Only then was Mr. Winston completely pacified.

Still, five days to craft a custom capelet was a brutal timeline.

Without wasting a single second, she buried herself in modifying the design drafts, then personally selected the fabrics and thread.

This crisis made Shera acutely aware of a glaring issue: apart from the artisan currently working on the fan, she didn't have a stable roster of embroiderers capable of handling high-fashion, double-sided needlework.

While she knew how to embroider herself, the double-sided technique required both the front and back to be absolutely identical, with every stitch perfectly concealed. She simply didn't possess that level of mastery.
