Art of the Dress [Claire Anne Carr rock cover]

Thread by thread, stitching it together 
Twilight's dress, cutting out the pattern snip by snip 

Making sure the fabric folds nicely 
It's the perfect color and so hip 
Always gotta keep in mind my pacing 
Making sure the clothe's correctly facing 
I'm stitching Twilight's dress 

Yard by yard, fussing on the details 
Jewel neckline, don't you know a stitch in time saves nine? 

Make her something perfect to inspire 
Even though she hates formal attire 
Gotta mind those intimate details 
Even though she's more concerned with sales 
It's Applejack's new dress 

Dressmaking's easy, for Pinkie Pie something pink 
Fluttershy something breezy 
Blend color and form, 
[To Opalescence] Do you think it looks cheesy? 

Something brash, perhaps quite fetching
Hook and eye, couldn't you just simply die? 
Making sure it fits forelock and crest 
Don't forget the magic in the dress 
Even though it rides high on the flank 
Rainbow won't look like a tank 
I'm stitching Rainbow's dress 

Piece by piece, snip by snip 
Croup, dock, haunch, shoulders, hip 
Thread by thread, primmed and pressed 
Yard by yard, never stressed 
And that's the Art of the Dress! 

Twilight Sparkle: Now, the stars on my belt need to be technically accurate. Orion has three stars on his belt, not four.

Stitch by stitch, stitching it together 
Deadline looms, don't you know the client's always right? 
Even if my fabric choice was perfect 
Got to get them all done by tonight 
Pinkie Pie, the color's too obtrusive 
Wait until you see it in the light 
I'm sewing them together! 

Pinkie Pie: Don't you think my gown would be more "me" with some lollipops?
Rarity: Well, I think...
Pinkie Pie: Balloons?
Rarity: Well...
Pinkie Pie: DO IT!

Hour by hour, one more change 
I'm sewing them together, take great pains 
Fluttershy, you're putting me in a bind 
Rainbow Dash, what is on your mind? 
Oh my gosh, there's simply not much time 
Don't forget, Applejack's duds must shine 

Dressmaking's easy, every customer's call 
Brings a whole new revision 
Have to pick up the pace, still hold to my vision 

Twilight Sparkle: That constellation is Canis Major, not Minor.
Fluttershy: French haute couture, please.
Rarity: Ugh...
Applejack: What if it rains? Galoshes!
Pinkie Pie: More balloons! Oh no, that's too many balloons. More candy! Oh, less candy. Oh wait, I know. Streamers!
Rarity: Streamers?
Pinkie Pie: Whose dress is this?
Rarity: Streamers it is.

Rainbow Dash: What?
Rarity: Aren't you going to tell me to change something too?
Rainbow Dash: No, I just want my dress to be cool.
Rarity: Do you not like the color?
Rainbow Dash: The color's fine, just make it look cooler.
Rarity: Do you not like the shape?
Rainbow Dash: The shape's fine, just make the whole thing... you know, cooler. It needs to be about 20% cooler.

[Pinkie Pie] All we ever want is indecision
[Rainbow Dash] All we really like is what we know 
[Twilight Sparkle] Gotta balance style with adherence 
[Fluttershy] Making sure we make a good appearance 
[Applejack] Even if you simply have to fudge it 
[Everypony] Make sure that it stays within our budget 
[Rarity] Got to overcome intimidation 
Remember, it's all in the presentation! 

Piece by piece, snip by snip 
Croup, dock, haunch, shoulders, hip 
Fold by fold, primmed and pressed 
Yard by yard, always stressed 
And that's the Art of the Dress!
