For the first time since Gigi had bought it, Hermione removed her singular ballgown from its protective bag. She gasped as metres of golden silk spilled out, falling in soft layers lighter than air. Hermione strongly suspected it was acromantula silk, though the cost of the fabric alone would have been incomprehensible, much less the custom-made garment she held. The top of the dress featured a corset back and elegant, off-the shoulder sleeves, and was rounded out with a plunging neckline. Hermione couldn't decide whether she wanted to try it on or donate it immediately to a museum to be preserved with other works of art.
