A buttersoft fabric was utterly foreign as it caressed Hazel's skin. Her dress was luxuriant, melting over her body like an expensive embrace, cinching at her shoulders, leaving her arms mostly bare, outside of a pair of drooping sleeves with wide holes in the top. The crimson flowed behind her like a tail.
Holding it against her middle was a belt in the shape of a curved sword, and a gold-plated medallion pressed against her navel. The rest swept along her body planes in a way that was elegant if a bit revealing for her comfort.
The shade wasn't cherry red, yet it wasn't maroon either. It was an amalgamation. Like the deepest crimson. Like Tigris had possibly committed a crime in making it.
"You didn't desecrate a Capitol flag to make this, did you?" Hazel asked.
The girl's face turned impish as she guided Hazel to turn so she could get a better look at the back. As Tigris spread the material out, more gold shone through. A symbol was embroidered along the train. An all too familiar eagle, with wings spread wide.
Hazel's mouth went dry. "You did."
"Maybe, maybe not." Tigris beamed, wickedly. "One last touch."
Whipping another accessory out of her closet, she emerged with even more gold in her hands, settling a crown atop Hazel's head, fussing until her hair accepted the new accessory. Despite its ring of soaring spikes, it was lighter than Hazel expected, and it nestled well amongst the flower and beads.
"What do you think?" Tigris was grinning, though obviously holding her breath. Hazel's personal stylist was herself awash with vivid shades of bubblegum striped with fuchsia. The dress matched her personality, and its cutouts gave her ample opportunity to showcase her growing collection of striped tattoos.
