Just because I am on the hunt for the 15 missing letters to help solve the Room 326 Hunt doesn’t mean I have to dress down. Some of the places you travel to along the way are quite elegant and deserve a little care spent on my appearance. Besides, I have wanting to wear the Tulip dress from E! Eclectic Apparel for Collabor88 almost all month. The Tulip dress is a chic little strapless number with a grosgrain black ribbon highlighting the empire waist that leads to a front pleat dress. The pleat’s soft folds convey the idea of a tulip giving the dress its name. 

In this shot, showing off the gorgeous new shoes from Gos, you can also see that the dress is lined, so that glances and photos from a lower angle don’t reveal a gaping gateway to another dimension.

With its lovely silk fabric, the Tulip dress is ripe for embellishment with other accessories to dress it up or down depending on the occasion. Going for glitz, I added this top  from Bliss Couture, some gloves from MiaMai and a hat, also from Bliss Couture.

The hair is from Vanity Hair and called Damaris. It has a sleek, stylized look that suits the hat and jacket. The skin is from Tuli, whose welcome return to Second Life was made even better with the release of new skins taking full advantage of tattoo layers. This release includes 3 sets of 10 lipstick tattoos (5 colors in matte and gloss) that will give you all the variety you could wish for.
