Yesterday a friend of mine dropped by with a gift: A dress she had gotten in Syria, long, deep red, with lots of gold embroidery all over it. It looks like something Inara would wear when she was off duty. (There's one episode where she wears this kind of boxy, very unsexy, long dress to do some work around the shuttle - that's pretty much what we're talking about here.) Since I'd be laughable trying to pull off a real sexy Inara working-girl outfit, this is perfect.

This isn't THE dress, but it's one I found on eBay that is similar, just to give an idea of what I'm talking about:

And then last night on eBay I won a fair substitute for a Browncoat!
