I believe the issue here is the comic implying she only wanted to make dresses. Which took a backseat to generally beautifying everything according to her mad vision. She didn’t want to make dresses, she wanted to create beauty. Dressmaking was one way to do it.

@PonyPon  
Yes. Looks at all these freaking dresses.  
 
Not to mention this one:  

Um….no?

@Mojo  
True. To be fair, Starlight tends to miss nuances and subtlety.

Well more than make dresses she wanted to beautify everything, but her vision on what was beautiful was twisted by dark magic.

Er. When Discord reversed their natures, they didn’t want the same thing as before, actually.

I like how Anderson took a common thread from multiple stories and tied it all together. Brilliant!
