Kurumi moved and grabbed a few trash bags - probably twice as many as she needed but she was feeling a little nervous about ruining at least ONE of the layers while she worked - and returned to her dummy where she used a Severing Charm to slice it along one side so she could wrap it around the mannequin's waist. She repeated this with two more trash bags and then had her attention caught by Vivi once more.

Heels....cue internal cringe. "I...think so? We sort of seem to be working from top to bottom when it comes to outfits. We made a top. Now bottoms...or maybe we will just transfigure socks?" Socks were harmless...for the most part anyway. "Lewis' mother tried to teach me while I visited him over the summer. It was a mild disaster really. I wish I had older sisters instead of brothers sometimes, especially when it comes to things like this." Because, well, Vivi now knew that she didn't have an adult female in her life to teach her such things. "Or we can just use each other as crutches to walk around."

She was joking. Sort of.

"I would use a second bag," Kurumi nodded. "Professor Magnus did mention that if you concentrated enough you could do it with just one, but that different textures and parts could be made with separate trash bags. Using two different ones is sort of sending your brain a subliminal message that you are making two pieces." That made sense, right?

Kurumi glanced at her design once more and then at the three trash bags she had layered on top of each other on her mannequin when Alexa walked by. Kurumi smiled and returned the wave, but her focus was sort of on the trash bags and her chanting inside her head that she would NOT melt any of the three layers while she worked.

"Yes, we're such... fashionistas. We make trash look good," Vivi grinned and followed Kurumi's lead. She didn't have exactly the concept she wanted just yet, but it was so close and she was willing to trust her instincts at this point in the creation process. She'd made a hula skirt, for Merlin's sake!

Vivi gathered materials, draping the trash bag on the mannequin and then stepping back for an inspection. Her skirt was simple and sleek, so only one layer was really needed. Tulle... oh, Kurumi! "My sister is a pro at heels, but I feel so wobbly in them. I had to wear some when I debuted last year, and I couldn't really enjoy it because I was so worried about falling over." It was distracting... and potentially mortifying. Even with a dance instructor and a coach for posture and bearing, she'd been so self-conscious.

"You can lean on me anytime," Vivi fell silent then, not because she was worried about heels, but because she wanted to focus on her skirt. The shape and texture and color and weight and all that. And the belt! "Ideas for a belt?"
