Alice Blue Edwardian

For this week's challenge called Alice Blue, I remembered there was the lovely Ivalde's Edwardian gown, Lilje tucked in a storage trunk. This soft floating gown reminds me of a Downton Abbey gown with its simple lines and minimum lace and ruffles.  For springtime tea parties, Hatpins confection Floraleigh in pastel bouquet colors topped off this daytime look.  Thanks to the lovely sachi vixen of Adam 'n Eve, my cheeks and lips are lightly blushing with the new Amaris in Natural shades.

Classic Barerose

BareRose - Antonia & Hatpins Floraleigh with Cameo Set

BareRose Tokyo still draws hundreds of Second Life shoppers with their huge variety of designs.  A shop guaranteed to have you shopping - looking up, down, and all over the place. Decisions...decisions!

BareRose Antoinia - Blue

A new Victorian gown release called Antonia was showcased in BareRose's "new" area.  Antonia comes in a package with shades of blue and a deep burgundy rose red.  The jacquard fabric is showcased with a black overlay on lace bodice. The bustle is a layered delight of the colored print, white, and then black accented with tiny bows. Layers detail the slim profile skirt with satin ruffles descending to the hem. Cameo ribbon, gloves, and matching shoes add to set.

I had to add to the set with Hatpins cameo earrings and ring from a past Sixty Linden Weekend sale special  Since it was a hot summer day, I love the straw hat styled with roses in blues - Floraleigh - again from Hatpins. 

Below is Antonia styled in the shades of reds and burgundies.  Topping my hair is the original chapeaux that comes with the sets.  I must say this gown just sways down the sidewalk!

 From the back view, you can see the detail of the fabric patterns.  Love how that black insert makes my waist look like I cinched up my corset 3 inches!

BareRose - Antoina - Red

Of course, now I have to go back to BareRose to add to my closet.  Wouldn't you know? The designers have added another Antonia set.  This one in Pink and Black which you can see online at the BareRose Tokyo shopping catalog.

Casting Spells...

 

Tucked away in the darkness of the manor, there is a private place for study and writing.  Special bottles and potions are locked away for safekeeping in the stone walls deep underground.  Medieval fog swirls around Winterfell Harbor which calls for a gown reminiscent of that long ago time. 

 

 Miss sachi Vixen has a new gown suitable for keeping watch from the castle towers for your prince to come home.  Adam n Eve Clothes' Rosalynd is sewn from brocade with antique gold netting forming a corset twinkling with jewels. 

  

The gown arrives with three skirt variations, the slim skirt shown, grande ballroom skirt, and a flirty short skirt.  All the skirts are trimmed with a drape of gold tulle with bows on the hips. The dusky purple suited the harbor's mist & clouds but the gown comes in six colors.  

Tuli's Jade with the new makeup by Elysium just gave an edge to this medieval lady.  Antheia matched with Jade in tone 2 picked out the colors of the purple with the accents of blue from Hatpins Branwyn wreath in Sky Rose and Snow Lily.  The low cut gown is accented with The Black Widow Amber Prayer Bead Necklace by Alchemy Immortalis.  A black widow spider trapped in amber hangs from prayer chain beads, belladonna seeds, and silver claws.  

 

Time to close the hidden door to the secret chamber and lock away the ancient journals. If you wander that way, beware the sapphire blue potion bottle since a spell will release the black widow's children!
