It’s a tough question and ably answered by Iota Ultsch of Tres Jolie in this marvelous dress of Guipure lace with the eponymous name Guipure.  I love the beautifully balanced handdrawn lace textures in the bodice, glitch pants and skirt. This dress is all lace from top to toe.

Here you can see how beautifully the texture seams are done. You can also see how racy this lacy little dress can be. It also comes with a velvet bow on the bodice that I seem to have deleted.

Iota is not one bit afraid of drama – and it shows in the dramatically wildly extravagant skirt. Ewing did a lovely interview with Iota a few months back in case you want to learn more about this creative designer.

The hair is from Damselfly and the jewelry from Ci:Di.

The skin is from PXL creations and has enough drama to match the dress.

Having been copybotted, Iota has taken strong steps to protect herself. Only members of Tres Jolie can now shop at her store and only while she is there. You need to im her and arrange to see the clothes. She makes extraordinary, unique and beautifully done clothing. For a special gown for those times when you want to be pretty certain no one will be wearing the same dress as you, it’s well worth the effort and expense to have one of her gowns gracing your wardrobe.
