Carry on

mimetic \mim-ET-ik\, adjective: 1. Apt to imitate; given to mimicry; imitative. 2. Characterized by mimicry; -- applied to animals and plants; as, "mimetic species; mimetic organisms."

Anna pawed through the piles of mimetic dresses, each gown trying to be more like a couture creation than the one before it. Some succeeded, but most failed terribly. What she needed was a fairy godmother--or at the very least a couple of mice and birds to piece together her ensemble for the perfect prom night.
