I Know Your Dying To Write A Choka Poetry Contest  N/A       artist if Grace Ciao

Dress De Flor Red Gladiolus is the flower of August, fashion fabulous. A dressmakers dream? Spaghetti stringed halter top, and blouson waistline Made of real flowers? Fabrics wired to flare-up, then crimped and dyed red. The store owner's son placed an order for a gown. Dressmakers fear him. "I want to impress, have it ready by Sunday" For your fiancée? I’ll start right away. "It’s for her bridal shower. Just have it ready"... ..."I’m back for the dress. It looks just like the picture. I’m surely impressed. How will she sit down?" Just not on her derrière, There was no time left I Worked day and night With the few days you gave me Forgive me please sir. Best for her to stand all day.

Thank you, Charlotte. My query's adhered to the rules and having asked questions lead the narrative astray, hence limited intensity.

Ha! Beautiful dress but it does highlight some of the sacrifices inherent in wearing some of these creations. Reminds me a bit of Jeri Ryan's dilemma on the set of Star Trek Voyager (yes, I'm a bit of a Trek geek)

Probably one of the latter Star treks as costumes evolve. Fun fact: They stitch the dresses while on the model! ~Battlestar Galactica
