=== Tropes ([[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
* [[AcCENT Upon the Wrong SylLABle]]: "Rain''bow'' Dash" and "intimate de''tails''".
* [[Also Sprach Zarathustra]]: The opening of the song is used in Twilight Sparkle's introduction in the fashion show, complementing her starry-night dress.
* [[Busby Berkeley Number]]: Rarity's song has elements of this.
* [[Call Back]]: Applejack shows her [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
* [[Cat Up a Tree]]: The only thing the ponies could think of to get Rarity out of her house was to put Opalescence in a tree.
* [[Chekhov's Skill]]: Rarity forcing Fluttershy to tell her honest feelings about her dress sets up Fluttershy to have a surprising well of technical sewing knowledge that comes in handy later.
* [[Complaining About Things You Haven't Paid For]]: The other ponies learn a lesson about doing this.
* [[Crazy Cat Lady|Crazy Cat Mare]]: Pinkie Pie is afraid Rarity will become one during her [[Heroic BSOD]].
{{quote|'''Twilight Sparkle:''' She only has ''one'' cat.
'''Pinkie Pie:''' Give her time... }}
* [[Damned By Faint Praise]]: Rarity's friends' reaction to the original designs is tepid.
{{quote|'''Twilight Sparkle:''' They sure are...um...something.
'''Pinkie Pie:''' I ''love'' something! Something is my favorite.
'''Fluttershy:''' It's... nice. }}
** Rarity does the same regarding the redesigns, which she's privately declared the ugliest things she's ever made; she has to resort to claiming that she's happy that her friends are happy with them.
* [[Dark Reprise]]: The second version of "Art of The Dress" serves as a 'Stressed Reprise' for lack of a better term. Even the lines that are repeated are sung in such a stressed and strained tone of voice as to change the meaning entirely.
* [[Didn't Think This Through]]: After going under the spotlight, the ponies start to realise some of their design ideas aren't quite as elegent as they thought.
Line 56:
''*Applejack makes a quick glance at her dress, consisting of mega-sized boots and ten gallon hat*''
'''Applejack:''' Okay, maybe a little. }}
* [[Distracting Disambiguation]]:
{{quote|'''Rarity:''' Leave me alone! I vant to be alone! I want to wallow in...''whatever it is that ponies are supposed to wallow in!'' Do ponies wallow in pity? Oh listen to me; I don't even know what I'm supposed to wallow in. ''I'M SO PATHETIIIIIIIC!!!''}}
** Later, when contemplating exile, she is stymied over what to pack.
* [[Eat the Camera]]: Rarity does this during "Art of the Dress."
* [[Empathy Pet]]: Opal purrs and curvettes around the first dresses, but hisses and growls at the redesigns.
* [[Fashion Show]]:
** ''FiM'' is noteworthy for making an episode about a fashion show into a ''parody'' of the fashion industry (also seen in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
** The first fashion show in this episode is a blatant parody. The amateurish dresses essentially designed by Rarity's friends may be ridiculous, but they look familiar enough in context of the stereotypical image of a fashion show.
** In the second show, Rarity gets to show her real designs to Hoity Toity at her boutique. Some effort is put into making it quite watchable without the earlier irony, with Rarity providing magical special effects to introduce each pony and her outfit.
* [[Hair Decorations]]: Each one of the dresses includes some sort of [[Nice Hat]], hair clip, or crown. The reject dresses have their own hair decs, but they're ''not'' so cute.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: The failure of the fashion show causes Rarity to lock herself in her room for days and consider running away in exile.
Line 114:
** To her credit, the first six dresses ''weren't'' hard for her. Aaaaand then she started work on the second set of dresses.
*** Although, she did only manage to make five of them. Fluttershy's freaky knowledge of sewing made the sixth one later.
* [[20% More Awesome]]: The [[Trope Namer]] (see above).
* [[Twitchy Eye]]: Rarity gets this after learning Hoity Toity will be attending the fashion show... then gets it ''again'' when Hoity Toity makes a big, demanding order.
* [[Unsatisfiable Customer]]: The other five morph into these over the new dresses.
* [[Visual Pun]]: See [[Kitchen Sink Included]].
* [[Working Title]]: According to one of the animators, [[What Could Have Been|the episode was originally titled "Dress for Failure]]", which was deemed too pessimistic.
