MVW 2012: National Gown for Miss Panama 2012 by Tres Beau & Finesmith

Today I would like to take a closer look in the national gown of Miss Panama 2012, Miss Mely Gibbs. The fantastic “Miss Panama”costume was made by Kimmera Madison, yes again a Miss Virtual World 2012 design by Tres Beau ๐Ÿ˜‰

I was thinking by myself, if I could think about something typical for
Panama, and I was not really able to. I tried to google a bit and found a few traditional costumes, that looked very close to the one Tres Beau did. Again was impressed on the research, Kimmera did to create this incredible and adorable costume. Panama is the southernmost country of Central America, and many different cultures and influences got settled down there. To get the exact information about that I recommend to take a look at Wikipedia, what I did too and why I should just copy information you can read at the place where it came from ;p (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama) But I saw a lot of indian influences as well and some of those looked very close to the one Kimmera did ๐Ÿ™‚ She really put a lot of work, love and eye for the detail on this costume. All this different fabrics like metal, feathers, delicate fabrics for the clothing layers… for me a again a masterpiece of art. First, as I put on that gown, I thought ‘omg how can I ever find a pose for that huge gown?!?’ but I have to admit it was not that hard as I thought of… I kinda think Kimmera knows about that and she designs even the most huge looking gowns and costumes and you still can find poses to showcase them. The attachment points are chosen so very well that the gown moves naturally with every inch you move by yourself. For me that just underlines, that Tres Beau is one of the most popular and everlasting brands in SL for a reason ๐Ÿ˜‰ “Miss Panama” is now available at the Tres Beau Mainstore.

Miss Mely Gibbs chose an already existing set from Finesmith to complete her look. The “Coral Blossom” set sets an awesome blue accent as well with the necklace, the wonderful earrings and the stunning face ornament. All the wonderful round shaped gems picked up the theme for me and I think it was a good choices for the beautiful “Miss Panama” costume. Normally you have an awesome tiara as well that is included in the “Choral Blossom” it just would have got lost under that huge headpiece of the “Miss Panama” costume ๐Ÿ˜‰ The “Coral Blossom” set you will find in different colors as well at the Finesmith Mainstore.

Kimmera certainly has them with her long past of designing and creating. The different shades of brown and all the little details make this stunning gown to an artistic creation.

Kunglers gave the catsuit a new, modern face

Kunglers always stood for high quality and fashion in Secondlife. The new “Emanuelle” catsuit underlines this attributes again.

The tight catsuit accents the well-shaped body of every fashionista. The textures are so wonderful developed and brought on the catsuit. The mixture of different fabrics make this simple catsuit to a little piece of casual art. The basic is amazing made with light and shadows and the jacket shines with the beautiful texture.

The “Emanuelle” catsuit is available in different colors at Kunglers and the closer look even more shows the amazing skills for textures and the love for the details in their designs. The shoulder attachments add the dot of the”i” for me and make the little difference to make it modern and fashionable.

The lovely jewelry I am wearing to that awesome catsuit as well is made by Kunglers and it goes so perfectly well with the “Emanuelle” catsuit. The golden, smooth shape of the “Deorum” set underlines again that simplicity is the way to go to be styled well ๐Ÿ™‚ The whole set contains the earrings, necklace, bracelet and ring.

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.
