 Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll
Desiree couldn’t help but notice that her answer got an extra big smile, and she practically beamed when Professor Sayse confirmed her answer was correct. What could she say? SHe knew her stuff when it came to fashion! Her mood instantly brightened when she heard the directions for the activity. Did someone say dress-up? That was the magic word!
Rifling through her bag, she took out a pen and notebook to jot down the spells written on the board. She had a feeling those would come in handy for a future fashion project! She tilted her head to one side as she approached the nearest dummy. What kind of outfit should she make? Something Disney-inspired for sure, but which character to use for inspiration? After a few minutes’ thought, she decided to go with a Merida-inspired outfit to match her Elinor one.
A design formed in her mind… a beige shirt to match Merida’s underdress, a blazer in the same dark teal shade as her dress, and… Desiree’s first thought was to make a skirt to match the blazer, but she decided against it. Merida was the tomboy of the DIsney princesses, so if she wore modern career wear, she’d probably prefer trousers instead. Gotta stay true to the character!
Visualizing her concept, Desiree picked up a rag and brandished her wand. “Summitto Vestis!’ she cast, and the cloth transformed into a pair of dark teal trousers. Getting the trousers on the dummy was a bit awkward, but she eventually managed. Now she had to make the shirt and jacket, which required a different spell. She picked up another rag and glanced at the board. “Summitto - no. Summis Vestis!” she cast. Okay, those two spells sounded way too similar! This was going to be confusing!
In an instant, the rag turned into a simple beige button-down shirt. Desiree dressed the mannequin, doing up all except the top button and tucking the shirt neatly into the trousers. She picked up one more rag and cast again, “Summis Vestis!” The rag was gone, replaced with a blazer, the exact dark teal shade of the trousers. She placed the jacket on the mannequin and took a step back to admire her work. This was a simpler look than her usual designs, but she kinda loved it! It just needed shoes and maybe a belt to complete the outfit.
