Whilst previewing a new gown from Phoenix Rising called Darken Bliss (shown below the cut) I just fell in love with the corset top and wanted to show it off with another style option. With a name like Bliss I decided it needed a little more goodwill and opted for the sleek, svelte and sexy pencil skirt from Mimikri called Joy. Bliss and Joy, I think we should all sing Kumbayah.

Storm Schmooz’ 12 Carat shoes make a great match with the skirt and come with stunning back-seamed stockings.

Here you can see the Darken Bliss dress as intended. It comes with a full bodied trailing skirt and intricate arm and neck sculpties.

The sleeve and neck sculpties are separate and the neck piece has three lovely flowers, two in front and one in back.  The rich braiding and collar are provided by a jacket layer option.

This fur hair piece from Sweetaholic was all the accessorizing this complex and bold dress needed.

Wearing the Bliss bodice without its adornment, I chose the Jazz Funeral jewelry from  Balderdash and a bracelet from Leezu Baxter.
