TUNES

A few days ago I was very happy as Kristine Lowey, owner and designer of Chrysalis, was in my IMs telling me, she send me her latest release for blogging. I was following Chrysalis for a while and they released many interesting and high quality outfits. The ideas sometimes where very innovative and new and sometimes very cute and sweet like the “Rosalina” dress that I am going to showcase today.

The dress itself consists in the corset, a wonderful aerial tutu with a skirt under it that reminded me on the old petticoat or underskirt skelet of the past times that made all the skirt so puffy and big :p. To make it easier, to wear the corset and as well move with it, you have an alpha layer that hides the parts that would stick through. “Rosalinda” is available in different amazing summer colors. The textures of the layers and prims show the fantastic skills of Kristine Lowey and all the wonderful little decorations show the love for the detail she puts in her creations. The sweet little roses not only made of one single color, all the beautiful set shadows and lights that let this wonderful dress come to live… simply stunning.

The sweet ballet shoes are as well part of this wonderful outfit. To see all the amazing colors and more of the incredible designs of Kristine Lowey, you better make your way to the Chrysalis Mainstore and take a look by yourself 😉

Ezura at the Festival of Sin

These days we have the wonderful Festival of Sin (LM to the Festival of Sin: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Diablo/138/119/72) going on in Second Life. One of Ezura’s contributions is the “The Sins Wrath”. The Festival of Sin happens the first time  in SL and it is a lovely made place where a lot of SL’s top designers showcase special designs, some of their latest releases and old-time favourites. The place itself is worth a visit.

Ezura came up with a wonderful red gown that is the perfect picture of wrath, one of the 7 deadlies. A wonderful red and seductive gown with a mixture of lace and opaque textures in red. The basic of the gown is made in the new mesh technique, the prims on the sides and at the neck are normal non mesh prims and easy to adjust. The amazing red horns are as well part of the wonderful gown. For the hair I chose a combination of Urban Lutz and Baiastice. Urban Lutz started to create a new hair-line that follows the zodiac signs. For today iI chose the wonderful “Capricorn” style combined with one of my all time favourites from Baiastice.

MVW 2012: Evening Gown for Miss Netherlands 2012 by Bliss Couture

The wonderful formal gown for Miss Netherlands 2012 was made by Bliss Couture. Amutey DeCuir again showed her amazing skills for formal and elegant  gowns and designs. The dress she made for Miss Draakje Daily, our Miss Netherlands 2012, and she shined at the Miss Virtual World 2012 contest. The bodice is made of very delicate lace fabrics, the ornaments are so filigree and detailed and the light and sheer ruffles make a great frame for the beautiful bodice. The bodice has a pain open back so a lot of skin is shown from the back view what just underlines the sexy touch of the whole gown dreamy. The gloves matching the gown are as well part of the outfit. The skirt gives the whole gown a sexy touch, too. The back is long to the ground and the front is short and makes an amazing open front to show off you long and well-shaped legs 😉

The aerial fabric of the skirt, totally matches the delicate lace of the bodice and it again underlines why Bliss Couture always was one of the top addresses for elegant and sophisticated designs.
The wonderful “Drakje” gown you can get now at the Bliss Couture Mainstore.

The jewelry Miss Draakje Daily took from Chop Zuey. The wonderful “Octopussy” bracelet and earrings in white. The set you can get in single part at the Chop Zuey Mainstore.

MVW 2012: National Gown for Miss Estonia 2012 by Bare Rose

The wonderful national costume for Miss Estonia 2012, comes from Bare Rose. Bare Rose is a well-known brand in Secondlife and it always stood for quality and very creative outfits. I have a lot of Bare Rose outfits already and they always were something special to me, as they are different to most of the usual designs. Bare Rose covers a wide range of different styles like casual, fantasy, formal, japanese designs and nearly all what you can think of. Nala Kurka, Miss Estonia 2012, decided to go to June Dion for her national costume and I have to say what came out is really something unique and outstanding. “Cologne” the wonderful costume is named and you must have mesh enabled to see it properly, as the skirt is made in the mesh technique. The outfit it self comes as a ready-to-wear outfit and I just added hair and the facemask by myself. The textures are made very filigree and with the love to the detail. the little ring and the jewelry looking part round the neck are as well part of the outfit and so is the hat. The wonderful designed ruffles and the filigree jewelry parts show the great designing skills of June Dion. “Cologne” now is available at the Bare Rose Mainstore.

MVW 2012: National Gown for Miss Germany 2012 by The White Armory & Finesmith

The german national gown for sure was something special for me, as I am german myself. All of the gown are stunning and wonderful but for some strange reason I have a special relation ship to this one. It reminds me a lot on the days of my childhood, where I was read so many fairy tales and novels of the Brothers Grimm. Rapunzel, Dornroeschen, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Little Red Cap, Snow White… All of the princesses in those storys must have worn such gowns… I am sure! 😉 I really like the imagination of a german national gown with the relation ship to the Brothers Grimm and I never saw this idea before for such a purpose. The “Germany’s Crowning Jewel” gown, The White Armory/TWA made for Falbala Fairey, our Miss Germany 2012, is a masterpiece of art. I know TWA for some time and I always adored their medieval and roleplay gowns and clothing, so I am very happy that Falbala chose TWA, she could not have made a better choice for her imagination. The dress itself is made of black and many shades of blue. The huge skirt is made after the typical medieval skirt style with the wide hips and all the awesome folds and ruffles. The bodice as well has a black basic but the blue corset is made with excellent and filigree ornamented textures in all shades of blue. The prim parts on wrists and neck as well add a very special touch and show the love for the detail of designer Bee Dumpling. The “Germany’s Crowning Jewel” gown as well contains a crown that can be worn with and without lace in the style of the wrist and neck prims. The “Germany’s Crowning Jewel” gown you can find at the The White Armory Mainstore.

The jewelry set for sure comes from Finesmith and yula did an incredible job to make the total perfect set for this beautiful gown. The “Dornroeschen” set is really the set for the fairytale princess! It has so many great pieces and you really can see that they were made for the “Germany’s Crowning Jewel” gown. The 2 parts for the head, the delicate hairbun diamonds and the wonderful head-piece with that long parts that end in framed, awesome gemstones. A collar, a pair of earrings and the amazing corset decor of little flowers with a blue center complete the stunning “Dornroeschen” set, that you now can get at the Finesmith Mainstore.
