Sissy Pessoa of Baiastice excels at creating romantic ballgowns that combine classical design elements with a modern sensibility. Every year she releases a holiday collection that features stunning romanticism with high power glam. That’s exactly what you get with the Mana dress I am wearing today. From the modern era, you get the fabulously glam metallic fabric that forms the bodice and the half-sash that separates the bodice from the skirt.

The dress features classical fabrics like velvet in the skirt and the gloves. The fabulous sprinkling of stars raining down from the densely spangled torso to the scattered fields of stars down the skirt is another classic design motif whether done with sequins or prints.

I wanted a rich traditional jewelry design for this outfit and chose this parure from EarthStones. My hair is a modern, cheeky undo from Truth.

Sachi Vixen of Adam n Eve just gets better and better. The new Meghan skin she just released is stunning and this scarlet option is perfect for holiday formalwear.
