Mares To Measure

Rarity was ready for us try on the outfits again today. We tried them on and I thought mine was perfect, but Rarity put in a few more pins to get just the right fold and flow. It's like she's working on a spell. Fluttershy looks stunning in her glittering green vines and red garnets on her blue blouse and in that mesmerizing pattern of interlocking curves and spirals of green on her gown. My gown sparkles like rainbows with all the tiny diamonds Rarity sewed to it. I recognized several constellations. Rarity knows how much I love the night sky.

The boots are adjustable to accommodate hoof growth and the cloaks fit loosely and don't need to be tailored. The cloaks are crushed velvet, plush and soft and similar to the cloaks Rarity gave us last year, but more plain, apart from the hidden clusters of tiny gold stars inside mine. They're meant to hide the dazzling gown and blouse underneath, thereby increasing the impact they will have when we remove our cloaks at the dinner. Only our boots hint at what's secreted under our cloaks. It's all in the presentation says Rarity.

Rarity calls my outfit Golden Nightfall and Fluttershy's ensemble, Summer Song.
