Sending out commissions!

((Sorry for the no-notice hiatus! Many bad things happened. I won't go into it. Here's a pony who knows how to use a sewing machine.))

It had taken longer than she had expected. For all her unique and special gem-finding talents, this place seemed somewhat less gem-saturated than Equestria had been. And anything worth making was simply not worth making without at least a token gem or two. Or ten. And then, of course, she had to find house elves to assist her in digging them up, not having a useful and somewhat infatuated baby dragon willing to help her to keep her hooves from getting dirty.

Finally, after days of slaving away over her sewing machine, her room in Sparklypoo filled with scraps of fabric and completed ensembles and small heaps of carefully sorted unused gems, she sent out a few house elves (well-cleaned; they were not going to get her precious creations dirty!) with packages wrapped in very tasteful paper and notes attached. Her penmanship was, like everything else about her so long as she was not stressed or in the throes of drama, impeccable.

(To Dialga: the promised dove-grey cape and silver accessories, with small aquamarines and a few white diamonds for emphasis.)

Dear Dialga,

As promised, here is your cape! And a few little extras. I do hope they fit, as I'm afraid I don't have a dressmaker's dummy in your size and had to work from memory. I'll be glad to do alterations if not!

Sincerely yours,
Rarity

(To Jem: A few sample outfits, in varying shades of pink, with various highlights of yellow and violet. And lots of gems. LOTS of gems.)

Dear Jem,

Here are a few samples of my work. I hope they fit, as I'm afraid I had to go by my best estimates of your measurements, but I'm very good at my work so I'm quite sure I got them right. Just in case, alterations are no charge. If you like them, I'll be more than pleased to do more work for you.

Sincerely yours,
Rarity

(To Beowulf: A new bejeweled set of short-shorts, chocolate brown and cashmere as promised, with swirly citrine designs and some gold armbands and a gold belt to set it off.)

Dear Beowulf,

I hope that you find this a comfortable new fit! Alterations can be provided free of charge as needed.

Sincerely yours,
Rarity

(To Lorne: A few dapper, brightly-colored suits in very light and comfortable fabrics--and subdued for a Rarity creation, with the buttons the only jewels present.)

Dear Lorne,

Here are those outfits we discussed! I hope they fit, but alterations are provided free of charge otherwise. If they are to your liking, I'm available to make more!

Sincerely yours,
Rarity

(To Jaime: as requested by the Hat, a bejeweled golden shark grabber. The original design has been somewhat altered to be less vicious and more fanciful, like a shark as created by Lisa Frank.)

Dear Jaime,

I do not believe that we have been introduced. My name is Rarity, and I was commissioned by the Hat to create for you this rather unusual contraption. It is far from the type of accessory that I usually find myself making for my customers, but I hope that it is to your liking nonetheless. If you have need of a clothier, please find my new boutique in Sparklypoo.

Sincerely yours,
Rarity

The suits were perfect. Lorne was delighted with the color, and her estimations on his size were exact. He sent a return note, along with the largest bouquet of color-shifting roses that he could find.

Dear Rarity,
Consider yourself with a new, lifelong customer. The suits are a dream, doll. An absolute dream and I will sing your praises to anyone in the school.
