Description For the contest.

Theme:Masquerade

Design a dress/suit that incorporates all your favorite fashion eras. Make it so that you would want to wear it to a masquerade.

So I had one kinda big problem with this theme -- I have like, one (historical) favorite fashion era. So what I did -- because "sci-fi" was allowed as a theme -- I took normal victorian styles and changed them up in a totally non-historicaly accurate way... sort of a "history that never was". It's almost steampunk. Almost. But no cogs... I did mix in some modern, neo-victorian/gothic styles like that mini-top hat, for example. Hummm... maybe I could have used little skulls as the pattern on the dress, instead of roses .

I hope this meets the criteria. If not, at least I had a heck of a lot of fun creating it!!

P.S. Incidently, the character modelling this is my OC 'Liza (as seen in "Pane"). It seemed like something she would wear XD

It's very skillfully drawn! You have the technique for this kind of style and you sure know how to color a dress. The detail on her stocking is absolutely fabulous and I can clearly see how well though through this entire piece is.

I like the colors. The outfit looks unique, and very uncomfortable. I like the picture though. Very crisp and clean the way the strokes go.

Haha, yeah I suppose it would be terribly uncomfortable . Victorian fashion is so crazy... I wonder how the ladies sat with those bustles?

Maaaybe... they don't sit at all, and therefore carry around those umbrellas and canes all the time to support themselves.
