Rainbow Dash couldn't help but notice how pretty Rarity made her look when they infiltrated the Canterlot Castle in "Sparkle's Seven." Since then, she's had a secret desire to look pretty again. But she doesn't know the first thing about fashion, and she's too embarrassed to ask Rarity for help. She has to stay cool! But Rarity starts suspecting that something's up...
This story takes place after the finale of Season 9, but before the epilogue. If Rainbow Dash can finally warm up to the idea of reading a book or visiting the spa, why not wearing dresses and makeup? We all know she's suppressing a feminine side somewhere in there... As per my norm, there's no romance, fetishization, or questionable content in this story. I simply wanted to write Rainbow Dash dressing in style.
fairly enjoyable easy 7/10

Nice! I'll take a 7. Any advice to help me get those extra 3 next time?
I really enjoyed this. You captured the personalities of Rainbow and Rarity so well! I especially loved the little moment at the end. I hope Rainbow can express herself without feeling shy sometime in the future! Anyways, great job!
Would love if this got like a sequel story of the reverse happening, where Rarity gets advice from Dash about getting more into sports and cutting loose and not being as ladylike all the time.

Hmm... That is an interesting idea.
I like this.
Something tells me the element of honesty is not amused by this explanation.
Very cute story. I'm glad I read it.
Is it possible for you to do a sequel with numerous chapters? With rainbow dash gaining the courage to come out to everybody
Technically she has before, in various visual gags throughout the series. It's a minor nitpick though.
Yes! Glad to hear I'm not the only one that sees the potential.
On that note, I love how Rarity is written here. Simple, but very in character.
Well if you ever come up with a sequel, let us know.
Thanks for writing!

I'd definitely be down for more of this dynamic.
It's interesting and well done here, so I wouldn't mind seeing it expanded on.

Perhaps as a way of bonding with her more sporty father?

"Perhaps as a way of bonding with her more sporty father?"
Ooh, that's good... Write that down!

I love brainstorming!
Writing not so much.
Who knows? Maybe Applejack does like the style on Dashie. Also, we have seen her in dresses several times, so as long as it looks good on her, it shouldn't be a problem.
Good story, mate. Definetly getting a fav.
