I don’t know what ephidryades are and Google failed me, but one thing I do know, it’s a beautiful dress and the top is as ethereal and delicate as dragonfly wings. I blogged the dress the other day and mentioned I was likely to mix the top up with other items since Sissy Pessoa took care to make the top with a bottom to tuck in. When I saw the skirt from Magoa’s Lilac English Rose dress, I knew I found a great mix and match skirt to wear with it for a shorter option. The skirt has a similar black on black brocade texture that makes a very congruent look. Even better, both are for the Culture Shock fundraiser, so get over there! I went again yesterday and although there were several people there I turned them off so lag did not kill me. Just go to Advance Menu and type in RenderAvatarMaxVisible and lower from the default of 35 to something low like 2 or 3.
UPDATE: Sissy explained that it Ephydryades and means sweet water nymph which totally makes sense when you look at the collar.
The white top works, too. The shoes are Koaniani pumps from R2 and have silver heels that give them a bit of extra punch.
The Reale jewelry from Baiastice is bold enough to match the boldness of the dress. I did not wear the necklace as the collar provides all the visual interest you want. The hair is a nice, low bun from Fri.day called Jules.
With black and white, there’s nothing like a bright pop of red, red, red. The tattoo layer lipstick for PXL Creation’s Gaia is perfect and the Cat Eye version of the skin is strikingly elegant.
