Novel & Cerita Welcome To The Black Parade Dress

I spent the next few minutes unpacking my bag, throwing my dirty clothes into the hamper and putting my toiletries back in their respective places. Rummaging through my closet, I looked for something to wear to the Lunar Eclipse Celebration. Tyler had said to keep it casual, but I didn't want to go distressed Black Sabbath T-shirt casual. Not this time. Not when I was going to be officially presented to the pack for the first time and had all these stupid rumors to worry about. It felt like a court case or something and I figured I needed to look a little more presentable. Finally, I settled on a pretty but casual little black dress with a crisscross back. The weather had been fine and warm

Wow, that dress fits you perfectly.” Jael commented. Marybeth was standing in front of a mirror staring at the black dress her mother had picked for her. She smoothed the dress with her hands. It was a formal ankle-length gown with lace long sleeves, with a hat with small netting that covered a portion of her face. Though the dress itself was something she would pick out for herself, the color would never make her look at it in a shop. Black was a color she despised.

not the blue one either. Suddenly, my eyes land on a stunning black dress that would hug my curves in all the right places. It has an open back and no shoulder straps. I pick it up from the rack. “Frida, can I try this one?” Her eyes light up. “Yes! That dress would look perfect on you, Madison. You’ll be the star of the night!” As I slip into the black dress, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement. Maybe Frida and Zarah are right. Maybe getting under someone else will help me forget about Victor.

he murmured, stepping closer, his hands settling on her hips. She met his gaze in the mirror, her lips curving into a smirk. “Don’t get any ideas. This dress is staying on at least until we get back from the party.” Adrian’s smirk deepened as he leaned in, his lips brushing against her neck. “We’ll see about that.” The Black Enterprises charity gala was one of the most exclusive events of the year, a gathering of business moguls, politicians, and society’s elite. The gala was held at an exclusive rooftop venue, the skyline of the city glowing in the background.

All of them in a palette of blacks, grays, and deep blood reds. And hanging in the center, displayed like a museum piece, was a dress. It was black silk, suspended on straps no thicker than fishing line. It was the kind of dress that looked like it would pool on the floor like ink if you dropped it. No zippers, no buttons. Just a slip of fabric designed to cling to every insecurity I had. I reached out and touched the hem. It was soft, and looks obscenely expensive. I felt a wave of nausea roll through me. This wasn't a gift. It was a costume. He was dressing me up like a doll in his playhouse. If I put it on, I was agreeing to the role. If I didn't...

Sephora changed into a special black dress that she had chosen specifically for visiting the families of the fallen. It's strapless design was comfortable and free-flowing. The black glittering skirts encrusted with beads and embroidered flowers, made the dress look cheerful enough - compared to the dark colours. What Sephora liked the most about it, was the subtle black ombre merging into grey along the bottom third of the skirts, making it look like she had been walking through ashes.

It’s a short dress — way too short — and black. — For what? — I ask. — Your presentation to the clan. — Her voice is indifferent as she turns to leave, like she’s only here to deliver orders. I close the door slowly and stare at what she handed me. The dress is black, all sequins in the same shade, catching every glint of light in the room. The neckline plunges deep, down to my sternum — lower than anything I’ve ever worn. The fabric clings like it was made to melt into skin.

~Mirabelle~ I was trying out the dresses, mom had brought earlier for Gen's wedding tomorrow. There was a silver splayed gown with emeralds, a beautiful black straight one with deep cleavage curve and split up the right thigh and a pink short one with diamonds stashed all over. According to her, the theme of the wedding was black and pink, if I wanted to fit in to be noticed, I'd wear pink but if I wanted to remain anonymous and hidden, I'd wear black.

She said, "You should." I go back in the dressing room and start to change when I hear my mom say, "What do you think about a leather gown for your party?" I said, "I can never have too much leather, mom." She laughed and handed a dress over the door. I tried it on and almost screamed. I said, "Mom! This is the dress I have always wanted!" It's black, brushed leather with a plunging v-neckline, a crisscross back and halter straps to keep it on. The bottom hangs straight down with a slit up each side that goes almost to my hip. I am absolutely in love with it! Nyla says, "This is the one! You are going to make some wolves lose their minds. I can't wait to see this!"

Kat said before rolling her eyes at me. She pulled me with her to the back where the staff room and lockers were located. Quickly, she opened her locker and pulled out a little black dress. Thin straps, V-neck, stretchy fabric that would hug the body tightly and a short skirt. It was the perfect definition of a little black dress. “Put this on,” Kat said as she threw the dress my way. “Ok…” I mumbled. “Get changed and meet me back outside. There’s still so much that we have to do!” Kat exclaimed loudly before stomping out of the room.
