AVARICE
(or greed, covetousness) is, like lust and gluttony, a sin of excess. However, greed (as seen by the church) is applied to the acquisition of wealth in particular. St. Thomas Aquinas wrote that greed was "a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things." In Dante's Purgatory, the penitents were bound and laid face down on the ground for having concentrated too much on earthly thoughts. "Avarice" is more of a blanket term that can describe many other examples of greedy behavior. These include disloyalty, deliberate betrayal, or treason, especially for personal gain, for example through bribery . Scavenging and hoarding of materials or objects, theft and robbery, especially by means of violence, trickery, or manipulation of authority are all actions that may be inspired by greed. Such misdeeds can include simony, where one profits from soliciting goods within the actual confines of a church. (wikipedia.org)

Hmm...this dress might be my least favorite in the series. But it's good, it just doesn't fit me.
Yellow isn't the color i really enjoy unless it's a pastel version of the color (you know, the type that's really light and sweet) But it's a great color for this.
in my opinion, too many ruffles around the top. But besides that, it's a really nice dress and the perfect image of greed!
