All Hallows Eve Couture - Lucia, Queen of the Night

One of the most romantic and mysterious characters of Halloween is the queen of the night.  The gown, Queen Lucia Grandeur Red, would be just the dress such a character would wear.  This exquisite red and black ball gown has a beautifully designed lace crop bodice with low neckline.  The long sheer arms of the top end in sheer fluffy black feminine sleeves.  The gorgeous red skirt attaches at the hips allowing a bit of sexy skin to be shown. After all, a vampiress must seduce her victim. Finally, on my feet I wear Stiletto Moody PinUp Stilettos in BadSeed.

And every queen must have her royal jewels.  Alienbear Gupte took her Queen Rosie set and updated it when she designed Bloody Queen Rohesia, a beautiful set with crown, ring, earrings, and necklace adorned with bloody red roses. The set was created to go with Queen Lucia Grandeur Red.  The bloody red color of the stones looks exquisite and match the gown's colors perfectly. (Due to prim limit the crown attaches in two places and comes with its own facelight.  For more details on the making of this set please see  Alienbear's Blog.) My hair is lovely romantic style called Miranda in Night by Truth  Hawks.  It also comes with the option of streaks of different color.  My skin is a beautiful vampire skin called Hope Gothic 10 from Tuli, and my eyeliner and lashes are by -::Axe Wear::-.   A most beautiful way to end the month of October and Halloween.

All Hallows Eve Couture - ..... Put a Spell On You!

What would Halloween be without that sexy lady in black riding her broomstick around the night sky?  Thats right.  And any witch would look simply glamourous in Agnes Finney's Serene Romance Dress in Black.  The fluttery skirt adds femininity while the lace bodice of the dress accentuates the curves and has a way of whispering subtle hints of sexiness.  This dress also comes in white and pink, too.  So you should get one of each color - pink, black and white.

     My black ankle boots are by Bax Coen.  These boots are very versatile because you can change their color, heel, and the ankle accents by clicking on them and using the handy blue menu. 

My avantgarde witch hat is Agnes's Rose Tower Hat.  It comes in red and white as well.  It is the perfect hat for the couture witch.  The hat is actually two pieces places on top of each other that resembles a sculpture of black roses, the perfect color for Halloween.  It is one of my favorite hats made by her. 

For this entry, I chose to wear a dekade skin called BARDOT Agnes Tan since it is has a lovely autumn tone to it.  I especially love the matte lips. The jewelry set I am wearing is one of the newest from Alienbear Gupte.  It is Phantom in Red and Black.  The design is mystical and perfect for any dress with a low cut decolletage.

All Hallows Eve Couture from Agnes Finney

For my last few blogs for October I am going to show some of the fabulous creations from Agnes Finney that are wonderful costumes ideas for Halloween.  

This first one is the Fairy Princess Pink Dress.  I chose pink because October is also Breast Cancer Awareness month.  It is something that has personal significance to me because I am a breast cancer survivor since the age of 28 years old (almost three years ago).  So I thought it would be fitting that this dress would be my first one.

The skirt on this dress resembles an open pink rose.  The texture glows and resembles a fine taffeta. The bodice has a satiny shimmer and is trimmed with lovely roses along the top.  

Stiletto Moody's Silver Bare Katherines seem to add a shimmer to my feet.  My Aphrodite wings are by Violaine Villota and they have scripts so you can open them, close them or make them flutter.  My jewelry is the glowing Sakura Set that Alienbear did for the Relay For Life 2010 Clothing Fair. The Miranda Hair in Expresso and White Widow Fairy Tattoo in Pink complete my ethereal appearance.

~Wings of Lace Part II~

This is another version of the Queen of Lace gown complete set.  This exquisite set comes with three different skirt versions.  In the previous entry I showed you the Queen of Lace gown with the long flowing skirt with train.  In this entry, I am wearing version 2 of the gown. The skirt in this is tea length and has a bell shape, and the layering helps add fullness.   I love the way the skirt swirls around me as I dance.  The lace texture that Agnes uses in this gown is beautiful and any woman who wears this creation while feel elegant and feminine in it.

The lovely wings are the same as the ones in the previous entry, but this time I have given you  a better look at the back so that you can see the intricate detail and rose that is placed where the wings come together at the back and attach at the spine. 

To style this design I am wearing Baiastice Ballerina Swarovski Flats in White, along with Gems & Kisses Butterfly Earrings and Choker in White.  My hair attachment is Donna Updo in Platinum from Miamai.

~On Wings of Lace~

Agnes is a extraordinary designer of lace gowns.  Her newest one, Queen of Lace, is by far one of her best.  The elegant flowing skirt gathers at the lace around the hips, and the same lace covers the torso in a diamond halter design with ribbon around the neck. The exquisite lace wings that attach to the back have a lovely white rose where they come together.  This design is definitely one that will make you feel like a fairytale queen.

To create an even more royal appearance I wear the KrisCar Crown, Sceptre, and Earrings in Gold and White.  This brilliant set was created by Alienbear Gupte and it is one of my favorites.  My Lillian hair is a lovely shade called Treacle from Truth Hawks.  I am also wearing the [White Widow Tattoo] Butterfly by Stan Jigsaw. These tattoos are a lovely accompaniment to any gown.  Finally I am wearing the Bare Marilyn Stilettos in Nude from Stilleto Moody.  This photo was taken on Location at The Rose Theater in Angel Manor.

Vintage Elegance

I love the way the actresses dressed for a night out in the old movies from the 1940's big band era.  This gown, Vivienne, by Agnes Finney, resembles that look of the past when women dressed with an allure and elegance that got them noticed anywhere they went. The gown has a lace bodice with keyhole detailing down the front to accentuate the cleavage and add sexiness to the dress. The satin skirt drapes luxuriously down the body. The lace boa lays softly on the shoulders, and the lovely black gloves,  give this gown an even more vintage couture look.

The back of the dress is beautifully done with the detailing of the lace bodice that has a low cut back and the train that extends from the the long skirt. Any woman who wears this will look beautiful arriving and leaving her destination.

Along with the gown I wear the Eileen Black Fur Hat also by Agnes Finney.  This hat has the lovely netting in front of the face which resembles many couture hats I have seen in RL.  I love hats, and this one exudes elegance with its black rose and feather accents.  The brilliant earrings I am wearing are Shoka by Chop Zuey.  They had a bit of sparkle from under the lovely netting of the splendid hat upon  my head.  My hair is from Purple Moon called Nat in Ebony from their awesome line of runway hair that seem to fit wonderfully with the hat and complete my look.
