As events and connections change, I have found that my look changes also. Not always do I follow the prim Victorian bustle "cupcake" look. In fact, frilly is over-rated! To that end, I have funky not quite Goth outfits. My friend Audrey called it "pastel Goth". I lean toward being dressed in steampunk with a toss of whimsey. Have discovered a new designer and neighbor in Winterfell's Star Fairymeadow! I'm not usually into the "dollie" looks but her outfits are enough to make one dance! The Frilly White Eyelet Dollie is my special favorite. The dress is trimmed in black ribbons and lace petticoats. This outfit has skirt, shirt, flexi cuffs, non flexi cuffs, hat and leggings and made with real and handpainted fabrics. The skirts are bouncey with the coolest black stockings. I have worn this to the Wednesday raves in Caledon and had fun just watching my skirts twirl.
I also bought a couple of more dresses - all right I bought several. The designs are so detailed and each one is appealing in their imaginative use of textures in the fabrics. And I just fall in love with those cute petticoats. The dress below is Wretched Dollies Burgundy Brocade and really could be worn as a formal party dress. Strapless bodice with layers of pretty fabric, lace, and netting make for a romantic gown. This outfit comes with corset, skirt, mini tophat with netting, stockings, panty, bloomers. Panties are bikini panties. Corset and panties can be worn seperately as lingerie. The black stockings are the best sheer black hosiery I have worn and that bonus lingerie you are not going to see here!
This third outfit is now the dress I tend to toss on for any event - Wretched Dollies Black 'n Blue gown has long sleeves and the dark colors that fit into the steampunk side of Caledon and the gothic edginess of Winterfell. The pictures here and in Star's gallery really don't do it justice. You have to see up close the textures on the skirt which is made from photographs of real Victorian lace. Comes with glitch pants, 4 layer skirt, wrist cuffs, leggings and hat!
For a romantic dress, you cannot go wrong with one of Star's creations -you will look like a doll!
