Yes…
My beauty is now unrivaled.
I stand completely still, caught in the reflection before me.
The mirror holds a version of myself I never expected to see.
And for a moment… everything else just falls away.
The dress wraps around my body like it was spun from midnight itself. Gothic in design, regal in presence, like something a vampire queen would wear in a storybook. The bodice fits perfectly, hugging my shape without squeezing, with delicate black lace tracing blooming roses over the fabric. At the waist, a velvet ribbon ties into a large bow, soft and elegant, its tails drifting down like silk in the breeze.
The skirt flares out in layered waves, sheer and shadowy, each tier shifting from black into a deep, ember-like crimson. The way it catches the light… it almost flickers, like glowing coals beneath smoke.
Even my tail hasn't been left out. There's now a neat little black bow tied near the tip. I blink at it, amused, and then smile.
It's… cute. Unfairly cute.
