Line 405:
*** I judge it a 3-2 victory for Rarity's designs on humanized Ponies. I think the human versions of Rainbow and Twilight pull the looks off better than the pony versions. Rarity's dress wasn't judged because there is no quote-unquote "ugly" version of it.
** How much of [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_g8VfdWzt6tQ/S9HR6HNU0rI/AAAAAAAAAPo/Hy_bISB1-dU/s1600/dior-haute-couture-ss-2007-500x3282.jpg French haute couture] ISN'T hideous and overdone (that's Dior in the photo, btw)
*** Not a bad point. See also [https://web.archive.org/web/20110528070215/http://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/beatrice-hat-460.jpg Princess Beatrice's hat].
** The sketch seems to be in Rarity's drawing style, so I would assume that was one of her standard example sketches and not a representation of Fluttershy's specific request. The end result ''is'' probably due to some target drift from the original concept, though.
** The whole concept of "French Haute Couture" bothers this troper. So is there a pony parallel to France? Prance?
** As for French Haute Couture, I think it's simply a name, having nothing to do with France or the French. I think it's just the name for the style, a bit like saying something is Steampunk or Victorian.
*** Alternatively, it's actually spelled French OAT Couture in MLP'verse, and has to do with something called "french oats" which is a plant that is edible and can also be used to make fabric (hey, in the real world, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130921114035/http://www.ecofashionworld.com/Glossary/Milk-Fabric.html they have figured out how to make fabric from milk]) and the style is absurdly "nature"-y which would explain how it came out so ridiculous.
** Doylist answer: [[Most Writers Are Human]]. Watsonian answer: the ponies simply have a word ("French") which by pure coincidence can be used like ours.
