Item Description
>GG< Info - La Clochette
I've always been inspired by strong female characters in fantasy literature and video games, and playing Jeanne d'Arc for the PSP recently had me intrigued by the magical-girl quality of the heroine's transformations in the game. Simply put, I'm a sucker for the combination of lace, frills, and armor. It's a pretty rare combination, but when I see it, I'm spellbound.
So I started to imagine something softer, not for battle, but definitely princess-worthy; something not so courtly as a ballgown -- something you could run around in, but that still screams royalty. That's usually the element I love about the wardrobes of strong heroines in video games -- the combination of sex appeal, femininity, and practicality. So naturally, the first colors that came to mind were gold and white.
I was also inspired (oddly) when I recalled the design of one of the Automaton types in Final Fantasy XI (online), the paladin type (the Valoredge). Gold and white with a red feather in its little helmet, this puppet is about the only thing I still miss about playing. I'd named mine "Clochette", which means "little bell".
So the two ideas really came together when it was time to sketch this out. I have to say that my original design was lacking, and I didn't expect to go after it so fiercely as I did, because it was going to be complicated and weird, to say the least. Still, something drove me to try it, and three days later, here are the fruits of my labor. I hope you love it as much as I do.
It comes in three colors. The only thing that varies in the versions is the color of the ribbons and the stripes on the sleeves and two skirt types. The difference lends a significantly different look from set to set.
The set includes:
-Prim sleeves with prim bells and flexi ribbons
-Sculpty cuffs for the hands
-A shrug with sleeves, a corset, and a bodice -- full and on separate layers for layerability
-A flexiprim skirt in two versions: one is plain, the other has a bottom layer with lace (to protect you from the ugliness of the alpha sorting glitch, but to still add a transparency-enabled lace petticoat)
-Knee-high white stockings
-Prim bells and flexi ribbons that attach to the hem of the stockings above the knee
-And an extra bag with all of the top pieces in every possible combination, in case you want to mix and match.
The whole set is mod/copy. Make all the changes you like, but save before you do so.
The prim parts are tinted a slight shade of gray to offset the glaring light which keeps the texture/prim parts that should match up from being so obviously interrupted. (Thanks so much to Tenshi Vielle for this suggestion). Until LL makes it so that the same color in a texture appears the same on both avatar bodies and prims, this is the very best fix. If it's too dark or light for you, I encourage you to experiment, but I found this shade to drastically cut down on the stark glare of the prim parts.
If you buy the fatpack, you save L$125 -- half off the third dress.
