This manhwa is pretty solid overall, it is bogged down by predictable plotline and quite frankly standard unimaginative setting, however it is executed well.
Reading the premise I went in expecting a little bit more drama, those juicy shoujo manga wholesomeness and/or a pinch of situational romantic comedy goodness, there's really not much of that here. The story treats drama more subtly, perhaps maturely (bordering on stories made for josei demographic), the drama just boils in the background but gets solved just as quietly without ,again, being too dramatic. Some people might be in the mood for a more laidback story like this while some people, like me, might think this is a little anti-climatic.
For example; Going a bit into spoiler territory here, around 60 chapters in Yuri the protagonist is finally found out by someone (outside her family) to be a girl, you'd think after such a long time there would be some massive pay-off for this blunder like a beginning of a new arc and dynamic between the characters, but no, what happens is the character in question immediately understand her circumstances and the only change between their relationship is that now she will be a bit more nicer towards the protagonist (which isn't that much different from the trajectory they are on before she got found out). This, is realistic. It is explained extremely well why this event would have this exact outcome, it doesn't come out of nowhere, and the story isn't really interested in big dramas or trying to sucker punch you with anything unexpected. While isn't inherently bad, you can't help but feel like such an important occasion, opportunity for that delicious shoujo moment, is wasted.
The main plot driver, and really the only motivation anyone would continue reading, is Yuri the protagonist and her relationship with other characters. If (like me) you like her character and is invested on whether or not she would be able to fulfill her ambitions of making a more convenient yet stylish clothes to the world... And maybe the author could one day get her to the sweet romcom stuff, then it's hard to stop reading and you can't wait to find out what obstacle she'll encounter next. If you don't like her, or perhaps you're not in the mood to read yet another cookie cutter "someone got isekai'd and they're inventing modern tech for the betterment of said world/self interest" then I'd recommend to skip this manhwa.
I haven't mention anything related to the art style because to be honest, this one is very subjective. If you like the art then try it, if not then don't. If I were to say categorically, it is pretty good for a full color art, but my standards are low so feel free to disagree with me on this one.
I'll say in passing that most of the characters are decent and none are egregiously bad unlike most isekai story.
All in all this would be my score
Story: 5
Setting: 4
Art: 6
Character: 5
Enjoyment: 7
Overall: 6.5
