Rarity: Oh, Opalescence, can't you just picture it?
Moi stepping out in a stunning new gown
at the Grand Galloping Gala in Canterlot.
[ Whoosh! ]
Meow!
Why, yes, I did make it myself.
Thank you so much for asking.
[ Tink! Tink! Tink! ]
[ Purring ]
[ Growls softly ]
Oh, oh, well, of course you can help me.
Thank you.
Meow!
What's that? You want to help me more?
Oh, aren't you the sweetest thing?
Meow!
Careful now. Don't move.
This shouldn't take long at all.

[ Knock on door ]
Howdy, Rarity.
Shh!
Can't you see Rarity's trying to concentrate?
[ Tinkling ]
What do you think she's making?
Looks like a dress.
Well, that makes sense,
since this is a dressmaker's shop and all.
[ Groans ]
Is there something I can help you with?
Oh, so very sorry to trouble you, Rarity,
but I need a quick favor.
Could you please fix a button for me?
It's my dress for the Grand Galloping Gala.
[ Gasps ]
Oh, no, no, no!
You can't wear this -- ugh -- old thing.
You need a glamorous new outfit for the gala.
And I'll make it for you, no problem at all.
It would be my pleasure.
Oh, that's really sweet of you to offer, Rarity,
but I can't let you do that.
It would be so much work.
This dress is fine.
Twilight Sparkle,
I insist on making you a new dress.
But -- Not another word.
I won't take "no" for an answer.
Well...in that case,
thank you for your generosity, Rarity.
Knowing your handiwork,
I'm sure it will be absolutely beautiful.
Let me guess, Applejack --
You don't want a new gown, either.
Gown? Shoot.
I was just gonna wear my old work duds.
[ Gasps ]
You can't possibly be serious, Applejack!
You absolutely must wear formal attire.
Hmm...
nah.
What if I just spruce up your, uh...duds
for you a little bit?
Oh, okay. Sure. Why not?
Since you're offering and all.
Just don't make them too, uh, froufrou-y.
Deal!
Rainbow Dash: Look out below!
[ Whistle! ] Aah!
[ Boing! ] [ Grunting ]
Sorry. New trick.
Didn't quite work. [ Chuckles ]
Hmm.
[ Gasps ]
[ Singsong voice ] idea!
I'll make you an outfit for the gala, too, Rainbow Dash!
Outfit for the what now?
I'll make one for you and you and all of you.
Ooh! And, of course, Pinkie and Fluttershy, too.
Oh, and when I'm done,
we can hold our very own fashion show!
What a great idea --
If you're sure you can handle it.
Oh, it'll be a little bit of work,
but it'll be a wonderful boost for my business...plus fun!
Oh, I love fun things!
Then it's settled.
We'll have a fashion show starring us!
Yay! Yay!Yay! Yay!
[ Tinkling ]
So, all you have to do
is make a different, stunning, original, amazing outfit
for one, two, three, four, five --
plus yourself -- six ponies, and lickety-split?
[ Laughing ] Oh, Applejack.
You make it sound as if it's going to be hard.

[ Boing! Boing! Boing! ] That's it.
Keep them closed.
Don't look.
Okay, you can look now!
[ All gasp ]
These are your new outfits.
What do you think of your old duds now, Applejack?
Pretty swanky, are they not? [ Chuckles ]
And, Twilight, I made this dress for you,
and I designed each outfit theme
to perfectly look like each pony's unique personality.
[ Gasps ] Oh! It took me forever
to get the colors right on this one, Rainbow Dash, but I did it.
Oh, and it turned out beautiful, don't you think?
[ Gasps ] And I know you're going to love yours, Fluttershy.
It just sings spring!
And, Pinkie Pie, look -- Pink!
Your favorite!
Aren't they all amazing?!
[ Blink! ]
[ Tink! Tink! ]
Wow!
They're...
Yeah, they're...
They sure are, uh, something.
Yes! Something.
I love something.
Something is my favorite.
It's...nice.
Well, what's the matter? Don't you like them?
They're very nice.
And we're plumb grateful 'cause you worked so hard on them.
Mine's just not as cool as I was imagining.
She asked.
I guess what we're all saying
is that they're just not what we had in mind.
Yeah. Yeah! Uh-huh.
[ Moans ]
That's okay.
Not a problem.
There's plenty more where that came from.
They were only a first pass.
You're my friends, and I want you to be 110% satisfied.
Not to worry.
I'll redo them!
Oh, Rarity. You don't have to do that.
They're fine.
I want them to be better than just fine.
I want you to think they're absolutely perfect.
Are you sure?
I mean, we wouldn't want to impose.
[ Chuckling ] Oh, it's no imposition.
Really, I insist.
Well, in that case, thank you again, Rarity.
[ Chuckles nervously ]
[ Door closes ]
What have I gotten myself into?
[ Meows ]
[ Machine whirring ]
[ Door opens ] Fluttershy: Hello?
You wanted to see me, Rarity?
Fluttershy!
Your new new gown's ready.
I completely revised it,
and I know you're going to love it.
What do you think?
I...love it.
Oh, you're just saying that.
No, no. I do.
It's...nice.
"Nice"? Nice.
If you don't like it, you should just tell me.
Ooh, but I do like it.
Like it or love it?
Um...both?
Which is it?
Uh, please stop asking me this. I --
Well, just tell me what you really think.
Uh, no, that's okay.
Tell me!
No. I-it's fine.
Tell me.
I-I like it.
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me!
All right, since you really want to know.
[ Inhales deeply ]
The arm size -- tight.
The middy collar doesn't go with the shawl lapel.
The hands are clearly machine-stitched.
The pleats are uneven. The fabric looks like toile.
You used a backstitch here
when it clearly called for a topstitch
or maybe a traditional blanket stitch.
And the overdesign is reminiscent of prêt-à-porter
and not true french haute couture. [ Gasps ]
But, uh, you know,
um, whatever you want to do is fine.
Now, the stars on my belt need to be technically accurate.
Orion has three stars on his belt,
Not four.

Well... Do it!

Oh, no. That's too many balloons.

Whose dress is this?
Streamers it is.
What?
Aren't you going to tell me to change something, too?
No. I just want my dress to be...cool.
Do you not like the color?
The color's fine. Just make it look cooler.
Do you not like the shape?
The shape's fine.
Just make the whole thing, you know, cooler.
It needs to be about 20% cooler.

[ Thud ]
Oh, Opal.
These are the ugliest dresses I've ever made.
[ Sighs ]
Okay. I did exactly what each of you asked for.
Now, don't hold back.
Let me know what you really think.
[ Hissing ]
Twilight Sparkle: Oh, my! Fluttershy: It's...perfect!
Rainbow Dash: it's cool! Applejack: Wow.
They're the best duds I ever did see.
All: It's exactly what I asked for!
[ Sighs ]
Thank you, Rarity.
Are you as happy with them as we are?!
Huh, huh, huh?!
Well, I'm happy that all of you are happy.
I'm just relieved to finally be done.
[ Door opens ]
[ Pants ]
You are never gonna believe this!
You've heard of Hoity-Toity?
The bigwig fashion hotshot in Canterlot?
Uh-huh.
He heard about your fashion show.
Well, maybe I happened to mention it to him.
He's coming here all the way from Canterlot
to see your work, Rarity!
Whoa, nelly!
You could sell a ton of dresses to this guy.
Your business will be booming!
That's so cool! I can't believe it! Amazing!
H-Hoity-Toity?
He's coming here...
to see these dresses?
Yep. Get ready for all your dreams to come true.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
Oh.
[ Gasps ] there he is.
[ Indistinct murmuring ]
[ Squish! ]
[ Panting ]
Okay. Relax, Rarity.
Your friends like their outfits, and so will he.
Aaah!
What's wrong with the lights?! Aah!
Oh, yes. That means the show's starting.
Good.

[ Mid-tempo techno music plays ]
Since the beginning of time,
The elite of Equestria have longed for pony fashions
that truly express the essence of their very souls...
Patiently waiting decades -- no, centuries --
for the perfect pony gown.
Today, at long last, Equestria,
your wait is over.
Let's hear it for the breathtaking designs
of Ponyville's own Rarity!
[ Audience gasps ]
[ Audience murmuring ]
[ Murmuring continues ]
Blech!
Why is everypony looking at us like that?
Oh, dear.
Y-you think we overdid it?
Nah.
Okay. Maybe a little.
Oh, those amateurish designs look like a piled-on mishmash
of everything but the kitchen sink.
[ Laughter ]
It's a travesty, is what it is.
Those outfits are the ugliest things I've ever seen!
Oh, for shame.
Who is responsible
for subjecting our eyes to these horrors?!
Not to mention wasting my valuable time?
Oh! Hide me.
Come on out and take a bow, Rarity.
You worked really hard for this.
Yes! All right! Hoo-hoo! Go, Rarity!
[ Audience murmuring ]
Rarity, you okay in there?
You haven't come out for days.
Rarity: I'm never coming out!
I can't show my face in Ponyville ever again!
I used to be somepony.
I used to be respected.
I made dresses -- beautiful, beautiful dresses.
But now everypony is laughing at me.
I'm nothing but a laughingstock!
[ Sobbing ]
You're not a laughingstock, Rarity.
She kind of is. Shh!
Come on out and talk to us.
[ Sobbing ] Leave me alone!
I want to be alone.
I want to wallow in...
Whatever it is that ponies are supposed to wallow in!
Do ponies wallow in pity?
Oh, listen to me!
I don't even know what I'm supposed to wallow in!
[ Sobbing ] I'm so pathetic!
Now what do we do?
Panic?
That's your answer for everything.
Well, we can't just leave Rarity like this.
She'll become a crazy cat lady!
She only has one cat.
Give her time.
Hmm.
Exile.
I guess, technically, I'd have to move away
to live in exile.
Where would I go, and what would I pack?
Oh, it's gonna take me forever to do all of that packing.
What are you supposed to pack when you go into exile?
Are you supposed to pack warm?
Huh? Opal? [ Opal meowing ]
[ Meowing continues ]
Opal, how did you get up there?
Hang on, you poor dear. Mama's coming!
[ Screech! ]
Rainbow Dash?!
How dare you strand my poor Opal in a tree!
Well, how else were we gonna get you out here to show you this?
What is it?
It's m-- y--
[ Gasps ]
We all finished your dress for you!
Thanks to Fluttershy's freaky knowledge of sewing.
Do you like it?
Like it?
Uh-oh. She doesn't like it.
No. I don't like it.
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
I love it!
Yay! Yay!Yay! Yay!
You ponies did an amazing job!
It's exactly the way I imagined it.
We just followed your brilliant design.
Like we should have let you do for our outfits.
Those first dresses you designed were perfect.
We're so supersorry.
You worked really hard
to make our dresses exactly the way we wanted them,
and we all saw how well that turned out.
Oh, I forgive you.
Well, that's mighty big of you.
But my whole career is still ruined!
Oh. Right. That.
Maybe not.
All right. I haven't got all day.
[ Purrs ]
Take two.

[ Richard Strauss' "Also Sprach Zarathustra" plays ]

[ Up-tempo techno music plays ]
Hello.
Oh, this can't be the same designer.
[ Sparkle! ]
Simply magnificent!
And I suddenly have a fierce craving
for some dutch apple pie, candied apples on a stick,
apple turnovers, apple cobbler...
[ Zip! Ting! ]
[ Boing! Zip! ]
Brilliant!
[ Thunder crashes ]
Oh! Spectacular!
[ Pop! Pop! Pop! Snap! ]
Now, this is a fashion show!
Oh, these dresses are absolutely amazing!
Who is responsible?
Step forward. Show yourself!
[ Tinkling ]
Brava! Brava!
Magnifico! Encore!
Oh, thank you! Thank you!
Oh! Thank you so much!
Twilight Sparkle: Dear Princess Celestia,
This week, my very talented friend Rarity learned
that if you try to please everypony,
you oftentimes end up pleasing nopony,
especially yourself.
And I learned this --
when somepony offers to do you a favor,
like making you a beautiful dress,
you shouldn't be overly critical
of something generously given to you.
In other words, you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.
[ Chuckles ]
[ Blows deeply ]
Rarity, my congratulations to you
on a most impressive fashion debut!
Would you do me the great honor of allowing me
to feature your couture
in my best of the best boutique in Canterlot?
[ Gasps ]
Now, I'll need you to make a dozen of each dress for me
by next tuesday.
[ Chuckles nervously ]
