It’s been two months since Lucia Fano left her family’s workshop and was appointed the head manager of the Magical Garment Factory, and she’s starting to wonder just how long it’ll be until she’s replaced with someone more experienced. Construction on the new factory building has been completed, and the staff are eager to celebrate their official opening. However, it’s not long before they’re presented with another project courtesy of Lucia’s friend and magical toolmaker Dahlia—the zephyricloth, a fabric enchanted with air magic to produce a refreshing breeze. The clothing applications are endless, and Lucia is determined to do her best in the role she’s been given. With the help of friends, she tackles all the challenges that come her way!

[Pieter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Much as expected, an entertaining slice-of-life story in a fantasy world focussing on the daily life of somebody involved in fashion and crafting, mixed in with a bit of political intrigue and romance. The world feels reasonably unique, and fashion isn't often the focus of these kind of stories, having said that though I do wish there would have been a bit more progress on overall plot and a bit less focus on clothes. Still, considering volume 1 it did not came as a surprise, and I enjoyed the book well enough.
