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.
