“I’d get stuck in if I were you.” Maddie said seriously.

“What about you? You need a dress too.” Becky replied.

Maddie pulled a face knowing it was true but letting Becky have first pick.

She pulled a brightly coloured Marchesa gown and held it up before yanking it on over her head.

“I’m not sure that’s doing anything.” Maddie said delicately.

“Urgh no. That dress is awful.” Kelsey said walking back in. “Try this one..” She said rifling through and yanking a pale pink silk gown and passing it to her.

“Thanks.” Becky said taking the first off and pulling the second on.

“Hmmm, maybe not quite right, you need bigger tits for that.” Kelsey said and Maddie shook her head at how blunt she was but Becky just laughed.

“What about this one…” She yanked a turquoise one with a corset style lingerie top and flowy bottom.

“That is beautiful.” Becky gushed going to try it on. “Oh my god I love it.”

“It fits you so well.” Kelsey said and Maddie grinned.

“Can you move in it though, with your leg?” Maddie asked.

“Screw the leg, I’m on crutches anyways, I’m not going to let it stop me from looking good.”

“And that’s a Balenciago straight from the catwalk, not even in the shops yet.” Kelsey said. “You have good taste.” She added and Becky’s eyes practically popped out of her head.

“You’re kidding me?” She gasped.

“Nope. And now it’s yours. You can take it, wear it, but you have to promise to party hard in it.” Kelsey said.

“I think I might actually love you.” Becky said and Kelsey grinned before looking at Maddie. “What are you wearing then?”

“I don’t know. I don’t want anything flouncy, or girly.” Maddie stated.

“I know the one.” She said scrambling over the dresses and half throwing them on the floor. “This would look perfect with your colouring.”

Maddie looked at the dress and was surprised that she didn’t hate it. It was black, all lace on top with sleeves and neckline that clearing plunged almost to the naval. The bottom looked clingy before flaring out around the ankles.

“Try it on.” Becky said and Maddie took it before pulling it over her head. She looked down, evidently it would look better without the top on underneath but it fitted really well.

“You don’t think it’s too much, too cleavagey?” She asked.

“Not at all.” Kelsey said.

“It’s perfect and anyways you’ll be wearing a mask so no one will know it’s you.” Becky said.

Maddie laughed feeling like that wasn’t quite the case but she let it go.

“Okay then. This will do.” She half muttered pulling it off.

“It will more than do Maddie. That is a limited edition Alexander McQueen.” Kelsey snapped and Becky caught Maddie’s eye and they both laughed.
