Sun Princess


This outfit is what I call Sun Princess, because it looks as though she has a sun crown. The colors are also very rich and regal. When I first bought this outfit, I was at a lose as to what I should put with it. Because of the cut it can be easily overpowered by jewelry and accessories. So I decided that I would take a subtle yet eye drawing approach.
The head piece and veil are from Beyond the Veil. I didn't want to over state the sun theme in the dress by going with red and orange. Instead I stuck with red and blue, representing the sun and the sky, allowing the head piece to do most of the speaking for the theme.

The brooch is a lovely addition to the dress creating the appearance of pinning the overcoat together. I just felt that a necklace would draw attention away from the theme, so instead I went with the brooch making it an actual piece of the dress.
The prim skirt is very lovely, it gives the look of a two layered skirt. This dress is very beautiful, and eye catching. I recommend this outfit to any high caste Free Woman who is trying to catch the eye of that special someone.

Few of My Favorite Things


Today's dress is by my all time favorite Gorean FW dress designer Alluring Sin of Demure Designs. She is an all around designer meaning she can do prim work and textures. Her designs come off simple but at the same time intricate in her attention to details. This is one of her older designs, but she has redone the skirt giving it a full body as well as a subtle layering affect. The flexi prim movement is perfect in every way, drawing all eyes and complements. The trimming on the dress gives it a finished look that is lacking in many FW clothes. All of Alluring's dresses are excellent; this one is one of my favorites. Lady Alluring has set the bar I give this dress 4 out of 5 tarns.

Originally I had shrugged off Beyond the Veil because I always considered their veils to be over the top and dramatic. Recently I have gone back to take another look. I was surprised! Hidden among the dramatic veils are simple yet artistic works that will get second glances. Also some of her newer veil packs have layered veils on different attachment points that may help authenticate your character’s wardrobe. In the past I have had to find many similar styles of veils and try to attach then to different points in order to get a 5 layer veiled effect. The under veil which I used as the house veil has an intricate working of chains underneath. The street veil is the above the eye veil in the Wren pack, and it completes the veiled effect by keeping with the chained theme.

The necklace is by luc fashion jewelry formerly known as Earthtones. My rule of thumb with buying necklaces for free women is to try to get the shortest necklace to be two inched or more below the neck, so no mistakes are made. I didn't want to overdo the chained theme so i went with a black triple stringed beaded necklace. The gold beads in the necklace bring cohesion with the veil and dress. Ladies do not be afraid to wear jewelry, just use your common sense! No chokers, wearing them is not bold its being stupid!

Thank you for reading my posting, more details on the pieces in the dress are below. Don't be afraid to IM and ask questions or have a chat.

Back from Extended Leave

Tal Ladies

It has been a very long time since I last posted, and I wanted to tell you the reason for the delay. I was experiencing some computer problems and thus could not access SecondLife. With that said, I would like to inform you that I will be back in full force. An outfit each week will be posted along with my many Gorean fashion rules. I have a great passion for both Gor and fashion, so bringing them together is a dream come true. I would love to hear from everyone with both fiery hatred and contructive criticism.
