About Size, Style and Separates

Don't you hate it when you see a beautiful outfit on a model and you just know it won't look as good on you? It happens to me all the time in RL. Fortunately, most of us look a lot more like models in Second Life than we do normally, so that's not as much of an issue here. Still, something to think about, so let me help out a bit.

When you visit my shop, or when I show you something on this blog, you'll see how my designs look on me. I'm the model, and if I didn't like the way it looked on me, I wouldn't try to sell it to you, .... honest. Just so you know, I'm 5' 11" tall (180 cm) in heels, and I guess I'm about a size 6 in SL. (No, I'm not going to tell you what size I wear in RL!) In the shop, I have rotating displays with life-size photos of some of my own favorites. If you like, you can stand next to a display and compare the two of us for size and shape. How's that?

It's winter in the corner of RL where I live, so my mind turns to thoughts of snow. I love it! Here's a skirt that I wish I could wear in real life. I made it mid-calf length to keep the breezes off my legs and to show off the fabric ... snowflakes falling across a graded blue sky, framed by a white hem and waistband. It swishes when I walk, the way snow drifts on some of our crisp winter mornings. I sell it with this long-sleeve blue blouse, which actually looks like a cardigan, now that I think of it.

Doesn't it make you want to find a wintery sim to show off?

Winter's not your favorite season? OK, I can live with that. How about a nice summery skirt? When I made the design for this one, I was thinking of the grasses that grow on dunes along the shore ... those sturdy ones that wave back and forth in the sea breeze. The fabric itself is a pleated white cotton. It has a ruffled turquoise hem and a pure white rolled waistband. I sell this one together with this simple white blouse that has little blue and white buttons and a tiny red flower on the lapel.

By the way, those really nice shoes are Corkys with a Flower, from AFantasy Emporium.
