"I know we're in Summervale," she said with a huff. "But I meant it's capital." ANd she turned away, pink cheeked at his 'compliment' but it seemed, as usual, he was going to be no help. So she ignored his claim about 'selecting' one and went back through the sea of dresses. When she returned, she now dawned a white dress, with both silver and gold embroidered detail, with just a faint shimmer of diamonds encrusted at the boarders against her chest, and on the bottom of her dress where it swept around her legs in a feathered, 'mermaid' style. White gloves to match came with it as the seamstress helped laced her up in the back, and Stephanie Gray was helping DevaniƩe fastened on her earrings and a necklace to match. A pair of white dress shoes from her own collection was being used, but the seamstress had talked Lady Acaulian into purchasing two decorative clasps to match. Both were in silver, crafted into a small flowered designed that pinned directly onto her shoes. A few diamonds embedded made it sparkle, and it was accented in gold, with a few gold beads to act as buds on the flowers.
With just a hint of more rouge, Lady Acaulian was finished, and the last touch was a small hair clip in the same fashioned as her shoes, though added to it was a few trailing pearls and gold and silver beads that fell lightly against her hair. She turned around, the light catching the details in her dress that made her sparkle as she stared over quietly, and with her chin held high towards her husband. Gold powder accented both her lips and eyes, and her lashes were painted long in black. They stuck out stunningly, her eyes having a doe like quality as her golden lips gave way to a soft pout as she asked, "How do I look?"
She raised her arm, a like, sheer white shawl, that was cuffed around her arms, came up with it as she adjusted a few curls away from her face. With all the work she put into finding a dress he finally liked, she was hoping her husband would give her some sort of feedback aside from his grumblings and urgent rushings from earlier. It had taken her nearly an hour to finally get a dress, and they'd be well over an hour late for the ball.
Thankfully, Summervale knew how to throw a ball, so it would last well into the morning...
Or so she assumed.
