Jackie’s Corset Dress.
Jackie finally gets to sew her first corset dress after admiring it on the bodies of so many women. It’s Jackie’s best friend, Lily’s wedding party and there will be people flying in from other countries so Jackie wants to impress everyone and look good maybe, she will find her husband as well.
“Make the dress tighter so it will show my full shape. I want everyone to keep staring at me,” even though Nimi, Jackie’s fashion designer had warned Jackie about the tight corset dress, she still wanted it to be tight.
Jackie enters the wedding hall and became the cynosure of the event.
“Can she even breathe well?,” one of the guys sitted amongst a group of guys asked.
Jackie steps to the front to spray Segun Johnson, the artiste called to anchor the event some money. Even though the dress was tight, she still had enough energy to dance and shake her body. She had over ten bundles of one thousand naira which she had kept aside to spray on Segun Johnson, the bride and every other person whom she’s familiar with.
Unexpectedly, Jackie hears a ripping sound of her corset dress. She tries to touch her back and realizes that her dress is torn from the back.
“Lady, your dress is torn,” Martha, one of the ladies who were dancing at the front of Segun Johnson hints Jackie.
“I just felt it now but I don’t know what to do,” instantly, Martha guides Jackie by covering the back of her corset dress which got turn. Martha helps her to walk out of the hall and they moved into restroom.
The party continued and everyone was looking for the chief bridesmaid, Jackie but she’s nowhere to be found. Only Martha was aware about her torn cloth and there was no way to fix it. There’s no fashion designer around and if there is, there will be no way Jackie will step out of the restroom naked.
“What do I do now? And Nimi told me that the dress may get torn if it’s too tight but I didn’t listen,” this time, Jackie regretted not listening to Nimi. After spending over thirty minutes in the restroom with Martha, she finally gave up on going back into the hall.
“You know what? Just go out there to have fun and when the party is over, you may get me out of here,” Jackie says to Martha.
Martha who was getting tired of staying with Jackie in the restroom became relieved as she will go out to eat, dance and have fun.
Without delay, Martha opens the restroon door so she can be on her way to the hall. As she steps out of the restroom, she sights a green beautiful rope which was used as a means of decoration in the event hall.
Jackie remains inside the restroom.
“The party is still early. Is this how I’ll remain here for over five hours when the party will end?” Jackie soliloquies.
Martha started to brainstorm on how the rope could be useful. “This rope is exactly the same color with our fabric. It should help,” she says while she moves towards the rope and loosened it then, goes back into the restroom.
“I thought you had gone,” Jackie asked.
“Yes, I sighted this rope which is the same color with this fabric so I think if I make holes on your dress, we will be able to let the rope in so it’s going to look like an open corset design,” Martha answers. Jackie who has given up on going back to the party was finally full of hope again.
Funnily, an open corset is what she asked Nimi to sew but she got discouraged because it is worn by so many ladies already.
“There’s a little problem. We’ll be needing a blade,” Jackie’s teeth that’s as sharp as blade was used to make holes on the dress. Though, it wasn’t perfect like using a blade but they only had little differences.
After battling with the dress for an extra fifteen minutes, Jackie’s corset dress finally became fixed.
“Our chief bridesmaid, we’ve been looking for you,” the youngest bridesmaid said.
Jackie turns back at her to show why she was absent.
“It even looks better than before,” the youngest bridesmaid said and Jackie was able to climb the stage comfortably again.
Jackie and Martha hugged each other and Jackie thanked her for helping her with the dress.
The two ladies exchanged contacts and they instantly became friends.
“I’m Jackie. What’s your name,” Jackie asked and they hugged each other again.
She finally danced comfortably at the party and she sprayed Martha, her new friend all the money she had left in her purse.

The party almost ended in disaster for Jackie if it weren't for Marta's ingenuity who helped her. Ingenious solutions come from difficult times. Interesting story.
Thanks for sharing your story with us.
Excellent day.
You’re right
It’s so funny how solutions come to our heads when we need them the most
Well, everyone did stare at her 😂😂 imagining how tight it might have been that it got torn easily, I wonder how she was able to dance and move in it.
Nice writing ✍️ 👌
Hehe😅😅
She really wanted to be the cynosure
From panic to slay, Jackie’s resilience and Martha’s quick thinking saved the day!
I’m glad she met Martha…
Wow! This was truly creativity at its peak. She can now have a swell time at the party, thanks to Martha
Yes ohhh
Martha even saved her from wearing that very tight dress
