Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Step back to the 19th century with this beautiful evening gown from Grasshopper Street. A corseted waist, impressive ruched sleeves and a drapery across the bust are the defining features of the gown. For Second Life, it includes both legacy and PBR textures and you can see how fantastic the latter can look in the lighting I setup for this shot. The texture HUD offers a range of preset textures and colours but each part can also be tinted, so here I made the coppery colour a few shades darker than the default.

The gorgeous chair is from DICTATORSHOP’s Heritage series which includes several other matching furniture pieces. It comes in PG G with 40 animations, Adult Vanilla with 180 animations and Adult Kink with 225 animations. Plenty of variation, but I must admit I would have loved some solo sits that worked better for a long gown. In terms of customisation, it offers 7 metals, 23 leathers and 9 fabrics.
