Come sit near the warm glow of the fire and listen to a story about a dress. Once, there was a fair frock. It was fair, yet unnoticeable, with its unadorned lines, dusty, pale mauve bodice, and navy skirt. The dress wished it was like so many other dresses, replete with ruffled decorations. One day, when the dress was sitting forlorn by a pond, a magic creature appeared. The creature felt bad for the frock and promised to grant it any one wish. The dress wished for the power to bestow beauty upon anything or anyone it desired. The magical being granted the dress' wish, and the dress was very happy. First, the dress gave gathers to its skirt. Second, it gave itself flounced neckline. Finally, it ran a waterfall of pretty ruffles down its side. Then, the dress set out to bestow beauty upon others. So, my friends, if you are ever fortunate enough to stumble upon a dress that looks like the one described here, be sure to slip it on with a pair of pumps, a shining belt, and gold earrings, for it is bound to make you endlessly gorgeous.
