The material of new ball corset of the princess is quadrilateral . The tailor must sew four decorative strips on it. Two of gold, two of silver. Two of the same color on two opposite sides and the other two on it to a midline not intersecting them. The tailor is not yet familiar with the dress final shape. However, you will definitely sew the dress to be the cheapest (i.e., the gold stripe should be shorter than the silver). For design, it would be important to know what color stripe is centered.
