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.

Shades of Patina

 

























Patina colors ancient metals bronze and copper with a deep blue green shading.  This gown from Evie's Closet is shaded with blues and greens accented with fairy flower lights. Aventine is a gown that is suitable for a ball gown or dancing around a fairy ring. The collar attaches with a tiny silver chain while the fairy flower lights sway as you move.

Mists of Gray




















Cold winds are blowing around the Harbor today.  Mists of gray swirling around from the sea color this gown from The White Armory. Colors of iron gray satin are layered with embroidered gold thread.  The corset bodice is accented with silver buttons and striped satin. Gray sleeves accented with floating white puffs of gauze finish off this gown.  Pulling a lassitude & ennui jewelry set Ophelia Roses and Pearls from the jewel box finished off this look for the 4th week of Color Challenge: Iron
 

 Looking out over the Harbor, encased in winter frost, makes one long for summer roses and lost loves.
