- When Rarity's dressmaking instincts are overruled by her friends' esoteric specifications, the ridiculous results threaten to ruin her prospects with a famous fashion designer.
- Rarity offers to make dresses for her friends for the upcoming Gala but gets in over her head when she tries to incorporate all of their individual styling ideas.
When Twilight Sparkle stops by Rarity's with a dress she would like to have mended for the upcoming Grand Galloping Gala. However, Rarity claims that the dress does not seem formal enough for such a major event, and gets a most generous idea: create gown for herself and all of their friends who are going, and then put on a fashion show afterwards to show them off!
After happily working through her designs based on what she knows of her friends, Rarity eagerly shows them off...but is met with a lukewarm reception. She then vows to take the others' comments regarding improvements. However, the final results look more garish.
Even so, Spike lets slip to fashion critic Hoity-Toity of Rarity's latest fashion designs and the upcoming show. Rarity goes through with showing the dresses, but every pony that is there doesn't think much of the altered designs, and Hoity-Toity finds them horrible.
This sends Rarity into a depressive state, and her friends feel bad for how they seemed to take advantage of her generosity. They then surprise Rarity by finishing the dress she wanted to make for herself, and claim that their friend's designs were much better than theirs.
They then get Hoity-Toity to go for a second showing, and showcase the original designs Rarity made, which greatly impress him. Hoity then asks Rarity to help him with an upcoming fashion showcase of his own.
