ANSWERS
The last time I was wearing something other than jeans and a T-shirt was at my friend's wedding last summer. Unfortunately, since then I've had no reason to dress up, especially during the lockdown. So the dress I was wearing was fantastic. I saw it in a shop window, and I couldn't resist the temptation to try it on. I just fell in love with it. My mom and my bestie wanted me to choose something more practical because they said that once the party was over, there would be really nowhere else to wear that floor-length, sequin-covered gown. Even though I tried to convince them otherwise, I knew they were right. But I really wanted that dress. It was neither purple nor grey. I can't name that colour. All I can say is it was amazing. Well, at the party I was dressed to kill. Everyone said so. I was wearing a fitted silhouette dress with a plunging V-shape neckline, a fitted waist, a sleeveless bodice, a plunging low back, and sparkling beadwork. Believe me, I was in the centre of attention. My dress turned heads. I didn't even expect such reactions. My friends said they had never seen such a beautiful dress. My best friend even joked that she loved my dress so much that she was going to steal it when I wasn't looking.
