What Are You Wearing?

[ViridianAsp]

Always bet on black! I like the way you mix it up without departing from the central thesis.

Recently black has become a bigger influence in her outfits. I tried really hard before to stay away from it, now I'm letting all my gothiness creep into her outfits.

Playing around with a ritual-type outfit.

You see XXX the Priestess.
She appears to be a Dhe'nar Dark Elf.
She is tall and appears to be in the bloom of youth. She has tilted, lavender-ringed nightshade-hued eyes and ebon skin. She has hip-length lustrous pewter-toned hair tethered by the myriad chains that drape from the back of a silver filigree half-mask diadem and across her face and neck. She has a pair of curved, sharply pointed ears framing her face, in balance with her high cheekbones and angular jawline. She has crackled near-black enamel brushed onto her long sharpened fingernails.
She has an inked whorl of faded purple tracery on the palm of her left hand, and an onyx mournbloom lace tattoo on her thigh.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a silver latticework gorget framing a glassy black spiderweb-edged onyx, a series of thin metal bangles, an asymmetrical gown of sheer white organza with a sleeve of chain-linked leather bands, and some lofted white leather boots.

>l gorget (Joola)
A delicate lattice of pure silver has been crafted to form a snug-fitting gorget. The piece has an open, web-like arrangement that extends across the wearer's decolletage, whilst a narrower latticework with a glassy black spiderweb-edged onyx centerpiece in the hollow of the throat climbs upward to embrace the jawline. The rigid structure of the gorget forces an unwavering posture, elevating the chin and elongating the silhouette of the neck. It appears that a firm pull would unseat the onyx.

>l bangles
An eclectic mix of both matte and polished metals comprises this set of simple bangles, graduating in size so as to be worn along the full extent of the lower arm. Ranging from traditional metals like silver and pewter to the more unusual like vaalorn and alum, the intriguing display of subtle variances in color and luster throughout creates the illusion of a molten metal armcuff.

>l boots (couldn't resist making these for giggles a while ago)
Plain white leather makes up the full extent of the uppers from the knees to the rounded toes and precariously high platforms. As mundane as the boots themselves appear, the clear solid base on which they are raised present a macabre contrast as the subtle curvature magnifies the bizarre occupants held in stasis by the quartz - a pair of large, black tarantulas. The magnificent specimens are kept company by a couple of tiny insects to complete the oddly disturbing scenario.

[Latrinsorm]

I love that gown for ritual type deals, not to be cute but it's very priestessy! The boots creeped me out big time - great job!

[Jhynnifer]

It's lovely but those boots... I'd be running away from them while wearing them and screaming for someone to kill them! They're beautifully designed though. =p

Playing around with layering and funtimes...

You see Riend Ar'Fiernel the Master Artisan.
She appears to be a Sylvankind.
She is tall in stature and appears to be in the bloom of youth. She has expressive, malachite-flecked chestnut eyes and gardenia white skin. She has fine, textured mournbloom black hair teased into loose corkscrews, her fringed bangs pulled aside by a tiny fel infinity knot ornament inset with pebbles of fiery red garnet. She has an oval face, a pair of rectangular fel glasses perched upon her nose and narrow, delicately pointed ears. Though her features are predominantly Sylvan, subtleties in the shape of her face and the tilt of her eyes appear faintly Erithian.
She has a series of dark silver rings set along the slender tips of her pointed ears.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a calligraphic vellum-panelled corset cinched by some lace cut-out ribbons with a thin-striped cream silk blouse with a tiered jabot collar underneath, an enamel blossom-framed case, a bustled storm grey taffeta skirt overlaid with an ombre of fiery red garnet beading, and a pair of strapped garnet silk high-heeled shoes.

Corset: Panels of opaque vellum have been lacquered repeatedly to give them a firm, semi-gloss sheen that works in tandem with fel framework to allow the corset to retain its shape. Various phrases have been scrawled across the vellum in all directions, some in common while others appear to be variations of sylvan and erithi characters.

Skirt: There is a slight ebon sheen to the storm grey taffeta of this prim skirt, creating dramatic shadows that play across the sheer fabric. A layer of fiery red garnet beading shifts the color of the skirt where it gathers into a bustle, gently falling into a darker hue at the hem of each ruffled tier.

[Latrinsorm]

Prim skirt, perched glasses... throw in the corset styling and it makes me think of the lead from Read or Die. I don't think she had corkscrew hair but she should have.

[Lady Sylvan]

Im a fan of the glasses. A very nice look.

[Elvenlady]

Keeping it simple for a busy day in Elanthia.

You see Chatelaine Rohese Bayvel-Timsh'l Illistim.
She appears to be an Elf.
She is taller than average with a slender willowy form and appears to be youthful. She has beautifully pewter-outlined silver-lashed misty grey eyes and silky smooth, fair skin. She has lustrous, hip-length pale silver hair centrally parted with a widow's peak beneath a platinum-chained headpiece haloed with ecru sparrow feathers. She has naturally glossy, rose-pink tinted lips. Peeking through her hair are dainty upswept ears tapering to fine points which enhance her fey-like countenance. She has burnished honey gold lacquer brushed onto her elongated fingernails.
She has an inking of a faint star constellation on her neck, and a cascade of tiny silver stars tattooed over her right eyebrow that fades into her hairline.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a sleeveless ecru suede frock coat with an upturned collar, a platinum wedding ring, a high-collared fawn silk cotehardie bound with a high-arching fused metal cincher, and a pair of ivory gold-shot silk high chopines.

Dressed up for a private audience with the Argent Mirror tonight.

You see Chatelaine Rohese Bayvel-Timsh'l Illistim.
She appears to be an Elf.
She is taller than average with a slender willowy form and appears to be youthful. She has silver-lashed misty grey eyes and silky smooth, fair skin. She has lustrous, hip-length pale silver hair woven into a complex latticework of thin looping braids down her back and secured by a thin gold wirework circlet with calligraphic curls. She has naturally glossy, rose-pink tinted lips. Peeking through her hair are dainty upswept ears tapering to fine points which enhance her fey-like countenance. She has bronze-flashed cobalt blue lacquer brushed onto her long manicured fingernails.
She has an inking of a faint star constellation on her neck, and a cascade of tiny silver stars tattooed over her right eyebrow that fades into her hairline.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a glossy cobalt leather shrug plumed with vibrant feathers, a platinum wedding ring, a gleaming gold foil-on-leather corset, some thin gold runic knuckle rings, a strapless sheath gown of burnt copper charmeuse with a pooling side train, and some cobalt velvet high shoes with verdigris copper toes.

>l corset
Gold foil, so thin it takes on the appearance of liquid metal, has been bonded to a supple leather corset and boned to ensure a rigid hourglass silhouette. The low neckline follows a stiff yet gentle upward arc and is mirrored by the opposing curvature of the hem, the perfect symmetry enhancing the slenderness of the waist. Ornate satin applique boldly curves across the front of the garment in a pattern of gently curled peacock feathers, their eyes accented by verdigris copper and blue vaalin threads.

>l rings
You see your rings. Six thin rings of polished gold have been inscribed with a series of runic symbols that, when grouped and interpreted correctly, recount an event of personal and historic interest. The three smallest rings bearing the arcane runic syllables of beq, ul and lu are sized to fit along the top knuckles, whilst the other three, slightly larger in size, can be worn around the medial phalange. These latter three rings depict the common spiritual runes of forest, badland and will-o'-wisp.

Rohese has a well-meshed collection of woodland scents haunting the air about her -- detectable are fresh pine sap, oak, dew-damp moss, and patchouli.

[Latrinsorm]

Simply amazing. You've got at least four statement pieces, and they all work together perfectly!
