This may be a first for me: criticism of an outfit from a favorite creator…

Glitzz is running an in-store “Welcome Summer” hunt.  Prizes are easy to find, as they each cost L$25.  There are twenty five of them to chose from.  The hunt runs until June 12th.

I selected an outfit from the hunt poster, a ruffled bikini in dark green and tropical highlights, knowing it would suit my hair color.  I was very happy when I tried it on…

…until I started running through poses looking for one to show you the back of the outfit…

…and experienced significant clipping in nothing more than moderate poses, so much so that I doubted the bikini bottoms had been rigged at all.  The photo below is a very ordinary stand.  In more extreme poses, the entire ruffle is buried.

Usually I’ll call out clipping if I notice it in extreme poses but then I’ll walk around in the outfit to see if day-to-day wear is going to cause the outfit to clip.  I also have a pretty wild dance that I use to test clipping.  If it doesn’t clip on this dance, I can be pretty confident that nothing else will make it clip.  But this bikini bottom failed that test too.

I don’t know if I was unlucky enough to select the only outfit that has an issue, but I’m really glad I didn’t outlay L$625 to buy all the outfits on the hunt.


Radiant

I haven’t posted in a long time I’m sorry to say.

When you take pictures with Firestorm, you can select the size of the image you want.  You can even ask the program to save an image that’s larger than your screen resolution (which is wonderful for bloggers, it’s like using a large format camera in real life!)

Recently (and I’m guessing it’s when I updated the the latest version of FS), saving hi-rez images like this appeared to work… except the output would be a 25KB file containing black, certainly not what you want!  Unfortunately, this was an intermittent problem, and it became so frustrating for me that I stopped wanting to take photos.

You can probably see what’s coming… I found a workaround!  If you’re experiencing anything like this, try setting your image size and then unchecking the “Constrain proportions” checkbox.  This seems to have fixed the issue for me!

So finally, I was able to take these photos of an outfit was was released by Glitzz for their Advent calendar, but is now available FREE for their group members in-store!  Glitzz is L$300 to join at the time of writing, which is quite expensive, so if you like their outfits, you should watch for free join weekends!

This lingerie includes the choker, corset, pasties, panties, stockings, and gloves.  It also includes a fur stole which I chose not to wear as it’s rigged and not resizable, which means I’d have to muck around with my hair to get it to fit… naw 🙂

Sizes in the pack are Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Freya, Hourglass, Kupra, and Reborn.

One nice thing about this outfit is the stockings, which are a full mesh set all the way down to your toes.  There’s no variation with them, I have to wear them with Lara feet set to “High”.  But the nice thing is that Glitzz have managed to get them very tight on the feet, allowing you to actually wear some heels with them!  I must have ohh a dozen sets of mesh stockings like this, and this is the first set that’s I’ve been able to do this with.  Yay Glitzz!

Royal

This is June’s group gift from Glitzz that I’m finally getting around to showing you!  RL has been… hectic.

The corset and panties are separates and are sized to fit Lara, Freya, Legacy, and Hourglass.  You have a three color choice for the pins and loops on the busks.  I should have done a close-up photo of the lacing and tie on the back of the corset, the detailing is very well done!


Glitzz Bodysuit

This was the group gift for members of Glitzz in May.  Glitzz is rather expensive to join at L$300, but they do run free join events occasionally, so keep a look out!

There are sizes to fit Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Freya, Reborn, Kupra, and Hourglass.  Also included is a choker (not shown) and a HUD to change the choker’s metals.

This swimsuit is a group gift for members of Glitzz.  The group is L$250 to join.

The suit is sized to fit Lara, Lara Petite, Legacy, Legacy Perky, Freya, and Hourglass.  It’s a fatpack and comes with a HUD with twenty color choices for both the suit and the tie.  You can also select from three metal colors for the tie’s eyelets.

Floral Cotton

Here’s a past group gift from Glitzz that I’ve not shown you before!

Glitzz is L$250 to join, but if you love lingerie, it’s certainly worth the one time fee.

This bodysuit is sized to fit Lara, Hourglass, and eBody Curvy.  The floral pattern is very pretty, and it’s yours after you join the group!  There are a number of past group gifts available, plus a load of lucky letter boards at the store.


Kyra

Here’s a group gift from Glitzz.  Their group is L$250 to join.

This bodysuit is sized to fit Lara, Freya, Legacy, Hourglass, and Alice.  It’s always lovely to see really well done pieces like this.  You can’t get them wrong, because there’s no way you can use alphas to hide mistakes with all the lace.

I love things that are corset laced, and I wanted to highlight the side lacing on this.  The lingerie comes with a HUD that allows you to change the metal colors of the eyelets too.

And if that’s not enough detail, the lovely bow at the back finishes off a very nice gift.  Thank you, Glitzz!


Eliza bodysuit

This is the second piece I picked out at Glitzz with the L$500 gift card they’re giving away at the Winter Shop and Hop event.  Have you picked your credit up yet?

This is only on a system tattoo layer, so you either must have a BoM ready body, or wear it on classic.  The pattern is wonderful, with the lace trim and cutaway back.  It’s very sheer, but perfect underwear in the cold winter months!


Noely

At the Winter Shop and Hop event, Glitzz is giving away L$500 credit to all comers.  If you love lingerie, and have been daunted by the group’s joining fee, here’s your opportunity to pick up some of their best stuff for FREE!

After browsing the store, being torn between so many nice things, here’s the first set I decided upon from one of my fav lingerie designers!

This fabulous top and high waist panties are L$249 for a single color, and the are a number of colors to chose from.  You can also pick up the fatpack, but you’d need a little more than the L$500 free credit I believe.

The top and panties are separates, and both are sized to fit Lara, Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Kupra.  The top also comes with versions for Lara Petite and Legacy Perky.
