[Bella's Boutique, Basics] RNUM: u13104475
Tall stacks of undyed fabrics line the shelves spread across the spacious shop, the ribbon-bound bundles labeled in calligraphy-covered tags suspended above the oak-planked floor. A fine-grained cypress counter stands between twin wire-crafted racks filled with dyes and accompanying swatches of vellum, the kaleidoscope of glass providing a colorful backdrop to the charcoal-drawn diagrams engulfing the back wall. Set to the east is a lily-burnt cobalt velvet curtain, the faint scent of sandalwood and lavender wafting into the room.

Three-legged easels dot the periphery of the room, the rectangular parchments covered in elaborate costumery highlighted in colorful inks. Wire-crafted mannequins flank a lily-burnt cobalt velvet curtain leading back into the shop, each model draped in several unfinished garment patterns traced in bright chalk alongside accompanying squares of half-dyed fabric. A peahen-shaped censer is suspended at the far corner, the wending tendrils of smoke tracing across an iron-braced worktable. You also see a willowy half-elven artisan.

An intricately woven Loenthran carpet covers the center of the polished haon floor. The walls are draped in lush, ivory silk that shimmers in light cast from a glimmering glaesine chandelier suspended from the rafters. Garlands of delicate pink roses intertwined with deep green ivy and strands of tiny pearls bedeck the sales counter, scenting the air with a lovely fragrance. An engraved silver sign advertises the shop's bridal fashions and a velvet curtain leads to the back room. You also see Lady Bella.
