Which dress?
I sent mirror pictures of three dresses—all of which I’d designed and sewn in the past few months—to my friends. I wasn’t sure why I’d made the gowns, since it was mostly a waste of time and money. I was a tailor in Starlight Grove, not a socialite in New York City. But right now, I was grateful I had these options on hand. Because it meant I would fit in at the gala, not because I wanted to attract King’s attention.
Nope, not at all.
The first dress was covered with silver sparkles. It had a flowing, scooped neckline and a low-cut back. Sewing with the material had caused multiple late-night breakdowns, but the final result was so pretty it had been worth it.
The second was a floor-length floral dress with a structured corset top and tulle skirt. It was one of my favorites I’d ever made, but the pale green color lent itself more to a garden party, not a gala.
The last dress was definitely the most risqué. It was black with a tight, lacy top that hugged my curves through the hips and legs. The lace was see-through—not enough to reveal too much skin, but definitely sexy. I finished sewing this one last month. It had been a fun, creative project, but I never expected to have a reason to wear it.
