Thankfully, there were only thirty minutes left until the competition was over. Any chance of catching up with Blake would have to wait.
Soon, it was her turn to give her critique. Jenny and Evalina were still tied for the top spot. Lydia’s vote would decide everything.
Every time she ended up in a situation like this, Evalina wanted to kick herself. Why had she stuck her neck out for Minnie before the competition even started? If she had just stayed quiet, or better yet, taken Miss L’s side, Miss L might have seen her in a better light and given her the vote.
Lydia started her critiques, moving down the list. Finally, her sharp, thoughtful gaze landed on Evalina and Jenny, moving back and forth between them.
Evalina looked at Lydia, her eyes full of hope. She was desperate for Lydia to let go of the past and give her a chance. Winning first place meant everything.
“Miss Evalina, your design fits beautifully, and the craftsmanship is truly impressive.”
Under the bright stage lights, Evalina stood in the center of attention, wearing her own creation. For a moment, her eyes sparkled.
Lydia went on, “Your dress is like a piece of moving art, stylish and one-of-a-kind. The silver-gray color makes it feel futuristic, a little cold and full of high-tech energy. It’s more than just clothing. It’s a perfect mix of fashion and technology, art and creativity. It breaks through tradition and looks ahead to where fashion is going.”
