This is a very tricky dress from the Womenstuff hunt!  I love the slashed sides, but oh my does it make it difficult for alphas on a mesh body!  Even though the dress is fitmesh with a specific size for Maitreya (also includes size for Belleze and Slink), you can’t alpha anything that wraps around the side of your body.  This would surely be problematic if you tried to dance in this.  Even static poses for this photo session proved difficult.

Having said that, it looks great!

I can hear Aeon humming Bruce Springsteen’s “Pony Boy” right now, except I’m sure it’s “pony girl” subbed in there 🙂

Hello lovelies!  Today I’m wearing last month’s group gift from Ghee.  I’ve been so busy with photographing the wonderful items from Womenstuff, I’ve fallen behind on my group gifts!

The cami and fabulous silk skirt come in standard sizes all in fitmesh, and there are specific fitmesh sizes for the cami for Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink Physique.

Two for one

blue LotD

More Womenstuff hunt prizes, but today you get two designers for the price of one!

shorts & tank_003

The shorty shorts are by FashionNatic, and come in standard size rigged mesh and have fitmesh sizes for Maitreya, and Slink Hourglass and Physique.  I’m nearly a perfect size S, but you can see just a little clipping in the next picture, even though these are Maitreya fitmesh.  But under normal circumstances, everything is good.  If you were really worried, you could play with your shape a little to eliminate it.

The detail on them is fantastic.  And so is the detail on the tank top by StormCrow Design.  The hunt gift is a single color, but it comes in-store in a wide range of colors.  It’s also in standard sizes with fitmesh versions for Maitreya, Belleza Freya, Isis, and Venus, TMP, and Slink Hourglass and Physique.  It also comes with a 10 texture HUD to allow you to change the colors on the metal accents!

Evening Breeze

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

As the sun lowers, the cool breezes sweep in down from the mauna, we’ll trade our kinis and pareos for a mu’umu’u or a nice dress…. and Spyralle has a perfect little treat in Five O’Clock.

FiveOclock_c002

Five O’Clock is mesh in the five standard sizes, and has a lovely little flexi piece that fastens at the left hip with a little rosette.  It gives nice little flow to the gown as you walk or dance!

FiveOclock_c010

I complemented Five O’Clock with a lovely necklace and earring set from *N@N@* that I don’t get enough opportunity to wear, but the turquoise and gold works well with the peacock colours.

FiveOclock_c005

Five O’Clock is an older dress, but it fits well and looks great.  Kerryth currently has it in the outlet room at Spyralle, so you can pick up this lovely dress at a substantial discount!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Not a poodle skirt

blue LotD

Every now and then we get invited to a 50s/60s party.  One of our friends loves DJing this type of music (you know who you are hehe).  Aeon has a poodle skirt, but I didn’t have one as it’s one of the few “standard” outfits I’ve never come across as a freebie, and I sort of can’t bring myself to buy one 🙂

So this is not a poodle skirt 🙂

The skirt and top are all one piece fitmesh for Lara, and also come in standard sizes fitmesh and specific sizes for Belleza and Slink too.

Skin-tight

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

I’m a big fan of clothing that plays well with a mesh body.  Certainly the top-of-the-pops is the more recent trend in mesh-body-specific fitmesh (yes, I do a little squeeeee when a product comes out in Slink Fitmesh) — but appliers certainly can be great as well.  Fitmesh gives that three-dimensional texture which is (to me) preferable, but a well-done applier can be fantastic with a skin-tight outfit.  Luana, the latest group gift from *It’s Gau*, is a great example!

Luana_c004

Now, time for a little pet peeve.   Maybe you’ve run into this problem –my avi height is a fair bit above normal for RL (1.95 m/6’3″), yet many designers make mesh for avis that are clearly much much larger.  This outfit comes with a lovely set of armlets and bracelets, each of which have resizer scripts – but while the minimum size of the armlets is not bad, the minimum size for the bracelets is at least twice as big as they need to be to fit!  Now, I don’t think that my wrists are ridiculously small, but that’s just silly.  Now, having made mesh, I understand that there are limits to shrinking certain mesh sizes, but there are some clever ways around that.  Any mesh maker worth their pixels really should remember that not everyone in SL is a giantess!
