I first saw this dress when Orage Creations designer Elettra Gausman posted a picture of it on Facebook. The intricate lace of the skirt made me think of gossamer and of fabric woven from spider webs, it is that fine and that delicate. Its delicacy is stunning.
Inspired by the idea of hope, Elettra added some glowing kinetic hearts that swirl around since love is one of the building blocks of hope. In order to hope, we need to love ourselves and our lives, so it seemed very fitting.
I dropped the hearts so you can see what a wildly extravagant gown this is even without the drama of the circling hearts. There’s a huge headpiece in the shape of a flower and a flounced lace collar to add to the already dramatic effect of the gorgeous fabric. It also comes with a mask that I elected not to wear. You can see the mask in Thalia Heckroth’s amazing photo of the dress.
It’s even better than a crown! This headress is amazing and also very easy to fit to whatever your hairstyle. I am wearing Exile’s Evangeline.
I didn’t think of it when I chose it, but how wonderful is it that the Suzy necklace and earrings from Donna Flora also have hearts? I chose this set because of how beautifully the color of the stones went with the dress and the intricate formality of the set suits the design. Speaking of the design, isn’t that ruff amazing?
I am so in love with PXL Creations new Gaia skin. The skin pack comes with Cat Eyes, Nude Eyes and Smokey Eyes. This is the smokey eyes, so I am not even wearing on the many gorgeous eye makeup tattoos. I did add the drama of the dark lips tattoo layer, though.
