Hey guys!

I've been getting a lot of reviews lately asking if I've read Mother-Daughter Book Camp, and the answer is, no. I've been trying to get my hands on it for a while, but so far, I've only seen the excerpt Heather posted on her blog. I'm also putting it off a little as I want to finish my story first before reading hers. Sadly, I have seen some reviews of Heather's book, and people are saying that it was a bit disappointing. Aaaah! I'm really scared that if I read it, it'll make the entire series seem less good?! I don't know. If you've read it, leave me a (no spoilers!) review in the comments.

Anyway, after that long rant, it's review time!

To splinterson77: Thanks for the review!

To Lexee Style: Thanks for the awesome review!

The dress flows perfectly around my legs, the long, silky fabric artfully rippling as I stand in front of Megan's critical eye.

"It's a bit long," she says, biting her lip. "I mean, we want the heels to be able to be seen as well. It's not everyday that you get Bix to design some shoes..."

Megan trails off, lost in thought as she scrutinizes my outfit.

"Looking good!" Emma says as she walks into the room, dressed in a robe with her hair still wet. We're preparing for the practice runway walk as the show is in three days, and so far, tons of makeup and hair stylists have been curling and straightening our hair as well as layering foundation onto our faces.

"Hey Em, will you get me the scissors? The ones that are labeled gown scissors...yeah, that one."

Emma hands her the large scissors, a skeptical look on her face. "Do you know what you're doing?"

Megan nods, then lunges for my dress. I gasp as she starts cutting at the bottom, just eyeing her cut without any measurement.

A minute later, three inches of fabric have been taken off the bottom of my dress, and it looks much better to me.

"The dress was inspired by Chanel's spring collection," Megan says, walking around me as I stand on a small raised platform. "The purpose of the collection was clean lines, clean colors, and elegant design."

"It's really pretty, Megs." I say, eyeing myself in the mirror.

"The cinched waist and ruffled top are pretty signature for this kind of style." Megan continues on, still walking around in circles.

"As for the heels, they're pointy toe pumps. I decided to pair a lighter heel with the dress, so they're nude heels, with a pink underside."

I nod, smiling at Megan's constant worrying.

An hour later, Megan is finally done with the adjustments to my dress, and she sends me out to the practice runway to begin walking.

"3, 2, 1...and walk!"

I start walking down the runway, making sure to remember all the tips Wolfgang told me yesterday.

"It looks good," Megan says to Wolfgang as she squints at me.

Wolfgang nods. "Yes, cherie, it looks perfect. People with love the designs, darling. Jess! You can come off the runway now."

I nod, going down the steps to the backroom, where I change into my usual clothing.

Out of the corner of my eye, I see Emma walk in a sunshine yellow mini dress.

"Emma!"

Megan beckons for her to come over, and they walk into another dressing room.

"You look delightful, darling!" Wolfgang walks in as Megan is inspecting my dress.

"We need navy blue heels. Kitten heels, probably." Megan is muttering to herself as she watches me in the dress.

Handing me a pair of heels, she scrutinizes me again.

"I like the length, Emma."

"Yeah, it's really nice. I bet people are going to go crazy for your designs."

Megan smiles, raking her hands through her hair. "I sure hope so. I worked really hard for this collection to work, and I'm really hoping that some designers will ask to collaborate. That would be so cool!"

"I'm sure tons of people would want to collaborate, Megan. You're like a fashion genius!"

Laughing, Megan walks around my dress one last time, looking for any imperfections that she might want to add.

"It looks pretty good. Wolfgang, any thoughts?"

"Beautiful!" Wolfgang claps his hands and ushers both of us out of the room. "The practice runway needs your presence, Emma."

Smiling, I walk onto the runway, being careful to smile and not trip at the same time.

"Looking good! I think we'll be great for tomorrow. You can head back now Emma," Megan calls, and I walk backstage to change back into my robe.

5 hours later, I am finally working on Becca's dress for the collection. So far, most of my dresses have been for my spring, pastel collection, but Becca won't be modeling those outfits.

Instead, she'll be modeling the fifties inspired, brightly colored summer collection.

All of the dresses in this collection feature cinched waists, flared skirts, and bright, funky colors and patterns. I also experimented with a few white shirt and colored skirt combos as well as off the shoulder, knee length dresses.

Becca's is bright blue with a pink, cherry blossom graphic pattern. It has a defined collar and flares nicely at her knees.

Becca's eyes light up when I hand her a pair of bright red pumps. "These are four inches," I say, smiling. "They're to make your legs look really good."

"I bet! Oh my gosh, these are really amazing heels!" Becca squeals a little as she twirls in her dress.

Handing her a plain, black belt, we adjust the dress until it's the perfect fit.

"We're ready for the runway!"

Becca steps out onto the runway, and I gasp. Standing next to Wolfgang is Elle Lanston, a new and upcoming fashion designer from England.

Walking up to them, my voice feels strange as I say hello.

"Megan! Meet Elle!" Wolfgang excitedly introduces me to the young designer. "Elle requested that she come to our practices as she can't attend the show, and she wanted to see some of your designs."

"Is this your summer collection?" Elle gestures towards Becca, who is walking down the runway.

"Yes," I say.

"It looks amazing," she says, smiling at me. "I've watched the last few models. I think your summer collection has a lot of potential for the British market. The fifties style is coming back in."

Nodding, I enthusiastically explain my inspiration behind the fashion. "I've seen your Wiltshire collection in Vogue, and I think it's absolutely amazing!"

Laughing, Elle thanks me for the compliment and kisses Wolfgang goodbye.

"I hope to work with you in the future," Elle says as she hands me her business card.

I take it, my heart beating in my chest as I look at her clean, cream colored card.

This fashion show is going to be amazing.

So. It is currently 12:06 PM when I am posting this, but it still counts as Tuesday to me! We are definitely getting to the end of this story, and hopefully I will be able to finish it with a good ending. I'm expecting maybe five or so more chapters.

Review!
