Oh, you flowy, gorgeous garment.
You are the perfect outfit for any occasion,
casual or formal.
Your unique look
makes everyone stop in their tracks,
mouths agape in awe.
You are the perfect wingman,
the most loyal friend.
I can always count on you to make me look
and feel
glamorous!

 

Oh, you whimsical, classic clothing.
Your fabric billows in the wind
as I twirl to show you off.
Your soft straps rest on my shoulders
giving me a contained freedom
in the warm summer air
that smells like barbeque in the evening.
Your hem tickles my knees
when you sway side to side
as I saunter down the cobblestone street
on my way to my favorite restaurant.
With you wrapped around me
I feel free to enjoy the evening,
laughing and smiling
all
night
long.

 

Oh, you elegant, fabulous fabric.
Your elaborate beading lets me shine
like the hopeful silver lining behind a cloud;
brighter than all others.
Your delicate boning up the bust
keeps me at my utmost posture,
for you know better than I,
this is an event where I should be at my very best.
Your floor length skirt
gives me the air of a queen
as it brushes my toes and trails behind me
as I stride through the awaiting crowd.
Your sleek, flawless look
gives me confidence to own the night
like the fierce
beauty
I am.

 

Oh, you dazzling, darling dress.
You hang patiently in my closet,
waiting for the day I will slip you off your hanger
and wear you next.
I adore the way you compliment me,
the way your folds and flow
hugs me like a child to her mother.
You are finer than all others.
You will forever be my favorite,
my
first
choice.
