I’m a dress collector - online and off. I don’t often have the occasion in either world to wear the especially interesting ones - but that doesn’t mean I don’t acquire them with both focus and reckless abandon.

In this entry, I’ll be covering a range of formal gowns and extraordinary dresses - period frocks; goth dresses; modern gowns; fairytale gowns and one of the most dramatic dress in game. I chose each piece for its unique cut, rich textures, detail and/or overall feel. I also want to mention that these dresses are not necessarily new - but each one is special in its own way. I wish I could show all the ones I consider “special” because there are so many more. Special for instance like the two below from Taliah Talamasca’s Wardrobe Trunk (more on these in a moment) or the gown from Shai that I blogged a while back.

I’ll tell you what each one is, who made it and where you can get it, but to be clear, this is a showcase. I loved them all.

Starting with “Lucinda” in rose from RFyre (which is what I am wearing in the first photo as well). I’m attempting to show Raven Pennyfeather’s exquisite texturing on the prims, which is best seen close-up.
