Babydoll No More

I love many things about this dress from bubble that’s on sale at the Chic Limited Cherry Blossoms event, though it began as a babydoll before I lowered the skirt to my waist. I am never a big fan of babydoll dresses and often try that, but it doesn’t always work as well as it did with this dress. As you can see, this dress comes with a band that anchors the skirt so just increasing its size a bit made it look very natural at the natural waist. This lets me really enjoy the wonderful sense of playfulness in the dress design. I love how the fabric choices almost suggest a wall treatment with the more subdued black on black pattern meeting the vertical stripe pattern “wainscoting” and the cherry blossom border print “chair rail.” It’s cute and clever and makes a gorgeous dress.

The cute dress calls for some cute shoes such as the Lady Rose shoes from G.Field.

I happily joined the parade of people rushing to Sixty Nine to pick up this gorgeous new hair. This is Olivia 3, one of 4 versions of a braid with a texturing changing ribbon braided into it. Here’s a warning, though. Be sure to make copies of the originals before putting them on and resizing. There’s a glitch in the resize script that sometimes makes the hair explode – leaving some prims at your skull and a cluster of them a full meter away. It’s quite funny to watch when it happens, but not if you didn’t make a copy. There’s no reset to original so the hair will be ruined. This happened, not just to me, but three other people have mentioned in on my plurk timeline in just one day, so protect your investment by making a copy. I am sure the HUD will be fixed shortly, but you can safely wear this gorgeous style with a sensible precaution. Of course, that’s always good advice, but I know most of us forget to do it.

My skin is Tuli’s new Sarah that was recently released. The earrings are also from Chic Limited – part of a set from bellballs.
