It was almost surreal standing here with the other girls. They'd grown up together. She could turn and look at each one and remember laughing with them, helping them with charms, laughing when something happened. And yet here they were on the edge of something new. Held in this one moment before it all changed. This very last moment of their childhood.

Sisse looked over her friends, her eyes running over the seams and lines of each dress, realizing with a small moment of pride that she had created these gowns, had breathed life into each one. In each one she could see an element of her friend, a design uniquely their's, full of their personalities, hopes, and loves. In that moment even a bit of Sloane was there with them.

Her attention was turned to Miss Adebayo's words and she looked at Miss Erstwhile's tilted bow. Personally with Miss Erstwhile's straight hair she would have opted for a more elaborate style, but she was fairly certain Miss Erstwhile was just grateful to even have a gown that the bow had merely been an afterthought. Sisse swiftly moved forward, "Here, let me help." She gestured for the girl to turn and allow Sisse to help her. "There." She told her after a moment of careful manuevering. "You look perfect." She assured the other girl and then turned and smiled at Miss Adebayo. "Are you ready?" She asked kindly.
