What is Jamela's Dress about?

Jamela's mother buys beautiful fabric for a wedding dress. Unable to resist, Jamela wraps herself in the cloth and parades through town, feeling like a queen. However, the fabric gets damaged, leaving her mother upset. Fortunately, a photographer's prize-winning picture of Jamela provides the means to replace the material, leading to a joyful ending just in time for the wedding.
