When I spoke with Rose Farina about one of the new dresses from her first foray into couture, I was honest that I am not a purple lover. But Rose was very tolerant of my strong opinion (read: “how about making it in black?”), and went ahead and made “Whimsy” in black (and two additional colors as well!). I hope you’ll take a look at all the work Rose has done on these dresses because bold designs like these should be appreciated. I love the result of the black Whimsy dress in particular.

Here is Whimsy (in purple and black), which comes with top, glitch pants, flexi skirt and hat. Anyone who knows me knows that bows, frills, feathers, or other dramatic accents are really interesting to me in the right context. For instance, take a look at the bow at the back of the Whimsy skirt. It’s pretty dramatic and I think works well with what Rose was going for. Yes true it’s not for every day, but none of the really fun stuff is. (click for full size)

Next is “Well Bow Me Over” (lol!), which by name alone, should have been tailor made for me. It comes with top, system skirt, stockings, prim accents (belt and cuffs), and hat. The only nit I had with this dress is that there isn’t a skirt base, so it would be a little harder to make your pixelself decent considering that most lingerie in SL isn’t really supposed to be worn as a foundation garment :P. Of course, just add stocking tops or anything but a thong (!!) and you’re good to go. This dress is fun and the jacket in particular will be very usable with other items in your virtual closet.

Both these dresses are $250L - as are all the pieces from Rose’s new collection. Be sure to check them out!
