A complete redo (or should I say "makeover?) of the first and possibly clunkiest card I made. Redid/updated the dresses accordingly.

I decided to stick with the "art is Red" angle, as it's a facet of the color that is rarely depicted on official cards, but often mentioned in articles, and fits the MLP:FiM setting well. (Amusingly, the first MtG setting I know of to focus on Red's "nicer" side is about... Phyrexians.) Arguably, Rarity could also be Blue, as she's a smart pony, and plans and iterates on her work, but I prefer to focus on her thriving within the rules of fashion and decorum (White), while also being creative, temperamental and compassionate (Red). It's a different shade of Red than Pinkie Pie or Rainbow Dash, but it is Red.

This time around, I tried to find a solution that respects the color pie (hopefully, the implicit "creature X can't block" is strong enough to represent the Red side of the mechanic). In case you're wondering: glamour stacks.

I like galmour, but Artful Dress costs too much. reduce mana cost or equip cost or add more abilities.

Glamor is more powerful than it looks. You essentially lock out two blockers per creature with/instance of glamor per turn, and one of these can't attack you.

The Rarity that could fetch swords wasn't mine. ;)

Rarity being red still doesn't do it for me. Add another white to the cost and then it would be fine.

^ re-read op. I guess I can work with that angle.

Maybe Attires could have an alternate equip for its intended recipient, a la cranial plating. It adds an affinity to a given character, which further demonstrates Rarity's ability to find what fits a character, without being utterly useless without that character.
Maybe something like Godo's Maul?
Tl;dr all I like is what I know.
