Description

It is more fashion time in my Equestria dreamscape. In the last posting link we got to see what Rarity had designed for Applejack, Applebloom, Zecora, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy to wear to the Royal Sisters formal dinner banquet. Now it is Pinkie Pie, Carousel and Rarity chance to show off their new threads.

Compared to her dress from last years Grand Galloping Gala, Pinkie Pie's dress was a bit more refined. Still the pink mare's dress was a kaleidoscope of colors. The main body of the dress lighter tint of Pinkie's main body color. However the train of the dress was lined in a contrasting blue matched blue balloons in her cutie mark. decorating the outside hem of the pleated train was a border of dark maroon red silk. This dark maroon was used for saddle blanket and ball slippers. A saddle adorned with her cutie mark was in same shade as the main dress body.

Carousel's dress was derived from a dress commonly worn by earth pony mares at spring planting festivals around Ponyville. However with Rarity's skillful touch it was elevated to a thing worthy of the finest palace in Equestria. The skirt/ train was a cascading three-layer, pleated pagoda affair. Each pleated layer was done in a different shade of shimmering green satin, going from lightest at the bottom to darkest at the top. their hems were trimmed with border of lighter green satin and were richly embroidered with a floral pattern of matching thread. The main body of the dress and long boot/gloves were finished in the same green satin was the top layer of pagoda skirt. Contrasting the predominately green theme were a sash and two large bows of violet satin.

Rarity had actually been working on her dress for awhile before she ever got the Royal Invite. She had intended to wear it to different event in Canterlot, but in the interest of expediting production she finished this dress for the banquet. The body of the dress and the boots were created from the same deep, bluish-violet satin. Her dress had longest skirt that flowed from back like a waterfall of night sky. The fabric had a slightly iridescent quality to it and was would shimmer and sparkle when she moved in it. The front part of the dress was bordered with an interlace pattern of gold silk thread. Around Rarity's neck was a single strand of jet, amethyst, and gold beads that finished her ensemble for the evening. Now just Twilight, Petina and Granny Smith remained for the mares, then Rarity could turn her attention to the two stallions.

To be continued.

Hmmm..... perhaps I should have saved the Jessica Rabbit reference for THIS drawing of Rarity. :XD:

So far I'd have to say Rarity and Carousel look the most amazing. Or maybe that's just because of the models. ;)
