My personal favourites of the MVW 2013 – National Costume of Miss Turkey by Tres Beau & Chop Zuey

MVW - Miss Turkey National Full

Miss Virtual World 2013 – Again BoSL showcased an amazing event on December the 15th 2013, with the finale of the MVW 2013 contest. Many countries were represented by amazing ladies and it was really an exciting event. Designers and models worked together for their 2 final looks. One evening gown and one national costume for each lady. Every year when I saw the MVW finale it was an exciting moment to see the results, that designers and models worked on for so many weeks. Last year I took the challenge to make a full catalogue of all the gowns and costumes. The idea must have inspired some bloggers this year and they started to do that for the MVW 2013 designs. I decided for my own not to do the same again and just would like to showcase my personal favourites. First I thought about to do my personal top 12, but then I figured that I like more than 12 and just thought about doing all the ones that really caught my attention in no particular order 🙂

Today I would like to start with the national costume of Miss V Turkey 2013. The “Miss Turkey 2013” gown was made by Kimmera Madison, owner and designer of Tres Beau. Tres Beau is one of the designers that contributes creations to the Miss Virtual World finale for years. What always amazes me on the Tres Beau national costumes, is that it seems Kimmer Madison does a hell of research for each country she gets asked. The colors, the textures, the designs are always go along the real traditional clothing of the respective country. The “Miss Turkey 2013” costume is textured with wonderful filigree and rich colors of gold and red. The wonderful ornaments show the love and the eye for the detail Kimmera puts on her creations. The body part of the gown is made of a wonderful mesh prim that you will get in different sizes to make sure it fits your shape as well. The wonderful flexible parts of the skirt and arms give the whole creation a typical traditional, oriental and turkish look. If you take a closer look of the 2 pictures you will see a difference for the headpiece. I wanted to showcase the gown with all its parts and as well the whole jewelry set, that Miss Nice Wildrose was wearing for the finale.

Nice Wildrose:

“My inspiration for my national look is Hurrem Sultan, the wife of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent who played an important role in the Ottoman history and was an influential figure for the women of Harem and other denizens of the palace.”

The “Hurrem” jewelry was made by Belle Roussel, owner and designer of Chop Zuey. Belle created a wonderful set of earrings, necklace, tiara and ring. The tiara is made with 2 parts, you just add the one attachment over the other. The combination of the gold metal with the white, red, green and black gems matches the costume perfectly. Each part is made of so many single prims, that you just can imagine how long Belle had to sit at her workshop to put all of these together 🙂

You can get the “Miss Turkey 2013” costume at the Tres Beau Mainstore and the “Hurrem” jewelry you will find at the Chop Zuey Mainstore.

I would like to lead your view on the hair I chose for this post. The “Desireme” hair was made by Leah McCullough. Leah reactivated her brand Naive and you can buy already a few different items including this hair style on Marketplace. The “Desireme” hair is available in 8 different colors. Leah made the hair modify so that you can change the color or the texture to your own likings. For the colors she provides she made hairbases as well, wich you can as well recolor to match the hair style.

MVW 2012: National Gown for Miss Greece 2012 by ALB Dream Fashion & Alienbear

Today I have the great pleasure to show you the wonderful national costume of Miss Greece 2012. The amazing “Medusa” outfit was made by AnaLee Balut, skilled and experienced owner of ALB Dream Fashion. AnaLee Balut is a well known designer for contest gowns as she made MVW 2009 winner´s evening gown,  MVW 2010 winner´s costume and she was one of the finalists in the “One in a million” designers contest. With the “Medusa” outfit she captured many little details of the Greece mythologies. What caught my attention the most are the wonderful 3D looking snakes that go through the whole dress. The all look so real but not one snake looks like the other. The huge headpiece as well is part of the outfit and for the clothing layers AnaLee Balut shows her skills when it comes to designing. She combined different fabrics in different colors in an awesome way to one piece. The headpiece as well combines a lot of amazing little details. The golden part with the huge red gem, the long tail parts that again catch the snake theme and the hair itself. A stunning creation for Miss Calypso Oliphaunt, the Miss Greece for Miss Virtual World 2012. The beautiful shoes are as well part of the outfit. Very filigree done, again we can see how much love for the detail AnaLee Balut puts in her designs. The shoes come with a HUD so you can match the perfectly to your skin tone. The “Medusa” gown you now can purchase at the ALB Dream Fashion Mainstore.

The jewelry for this incredible creation was made by Alienbear. Alienbear made the perfect addition in gold and red for this wonderful dress. The thin golden lines in amazing shaped and ornaments holding tiny little red gems and white diamonds… really the work of a professional and Alienbear again shows why she is one of the top jewelry designers in SL with this wonderful and gorgeous “Esmeralda” set. The set contains the earrings and a two-part necklace. I am sure you will find the stunning “Esmeralda” set at the Alienbear Mainstore together with all the other breathtaking creations of Alienbear Gupte.

MVW 2012: National Gown for Miss Canada 2012 by Tres Beau

My last Miss Virtual World Gown from Tres Beau is the wonderful “Miss Canada” gown. The incredible gown was made for Miss Sazzy Oh, our Miss Canada 2012 for MVW 2012. Kimmera Madison again shows, how much she cares about the different countries and their traditional aspects if she designs the national costumes for MVW. If we think on Canada… for sure we imagine a lot of snow and ice. Exactly that, Kimmera took for the basic of her awesome creation. For sure her amazing skills for designing let her do something very special. The “Miss Canada” gown combines a lot of different fabrics. The shining clothing layers, that glitters and shines with every sunbeam that it kisses it, the huge fluffy fur parts on the great coat with the hoodie hanging down in the back and the little snowflakes that hang down from the waist in the front on long, filigree and flexible lines and all the awesome snowflakes and ice crystals that make the huge head-piece, the decoration of the coat and the jewelry itself.

The incredible necklace and earrings repeat the snowflakes theme and add even more glamour to the whole gown. You as well can take of the huge coat and wear the wonderful ensemble as a short dress 🙂 The dot of the “i” make some snowflakes that fall down around you like little particles… it nearly looks like you are standing in the snow :). The “Miss Canada”  costume you can find at the new Tres Beau Mainstore 🙂
