"I will forge my own way, then, where I may not be accepted, but I will be myself. I will take what they called weakness and make it my strength." ~Rarity, "Black as Night"
All Twilight wants is for her charge, Princess Rarity, to be happy. But after a disastrous attempt at dressmaking, it'll take a lot more than a few kind words to cheer Rarity up.
Written for Monochromatic's "Interwoven Colors" contest. Based on the "Princess and the Guard" AU, such as this fic.

Rarity could wear a potato sack and by the end of the night, 'Sack Chic' would be all the rage.

Let's not exaggerate. It would take her the night AND a garden party.
As for the story, it hit the spot. It was a delicious, little treat, perfect for a day where I needed just something like this.
Thank you for it.
This was cute! I enjoyed the idea of Princess Rarity trying her hoof at dressmaking, like her canon self does. I loved the ending, it was so very in character for both of them as well as being very adorable, and it was very satisfying.
Nicely done!
Though she might need to have a talk with Rarity's father about Rarity's visits to the docks where the sailors worked.
Sailors: Yeah, sure, blame US for this!
"Look, Rarity's going to bed, so why don't you just do what we tell you and run along, little filly," Rock Ridge said with a gross, creepy smile.
He deserves to be pummeled, no warning, just pummeled. Twilight can make the excuse that she was testing him.

Twilight's response was inspired by this clip:

Genius!
Did you write a sequel to another one of the Interwoven Colours stories? :O
Either way, I liked this. :D

It's not a sequel... I actually submitted this story to Interwoven Colors...hence why the story is about a dress made with interwoven colors. ...I lost.
Anyway, thank you! I'm glad you liked it.

Well, a lot of stories lost, there were only three (or four) winners. So you're in good company. :)
Really strong opening sentences. You developed the AU deftly and Rarity and Twilight fit in perfectly. I really enjoyed the romance largely below the surface, only breaching those couple of times but to great effect. Overall, wonderful job.
A PRINCESS HAS NEEDS, OKAY?

She's, like checking out the port market, or waiting for shipments from across the sea, or, to parody Hamilton:
...Wait, what?! No, she's not... no, that's not why she's visiting the docks!
"Take King Honcho, the man is loaded--
but uh-oh! Little does he know, that
his daughters, Rarity and Sweetie Belle,
sneak out to the docks just to watch all the guys at
work, work!"
(...Just pretend that fits the meter.

I love that reference. That was great.
I so want to see a picture of what Twilight's horrifying dress looks like.
