When Lady Tremaine hears that the Prince has invited every maiden in the land to the Royal Ball she rushes to secure the services of a local seamstress to make three new exquisite garments for her and her daughters to try and catch the eye and win the hand of the prince. 

The acid green dress is made of silk charmeuse, inspired by 40's Dior with hint of 19th century thrown in.

 Cinderella's Stepmother chooses a green dress, symbolising her envious and greedy personality.

THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
