The White Satin Evening Gown

A poor girl is invited to a formal dance, but she can't afford a dress. She rents a beautiful gown and is the belle of the ball, but eventually gets dizzy — from too much dancing, she thinks — and asks her date to take her home. The next morning, her mother finds her dead. It turns out, the dress she rented was stolen from a corpse before burial, and she was poisoned with embalming fluid that activated when she sweated, slowly stopping her blood flow.
