Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

The April round of We Love Role-Play opened yesterday and my first choice of scene to build ended up a touch gothic. In a stark manor inherited from a distant cousin, a young heiress has taken up residence all by herself. She dresses as she would for the city and stands out in the gloomy suroundings.

The Rosalie Gown by Ruxy sets features soft draping and delicate structure which gives an impression of refinement without excess. The silhouette feels period-inspired without being rigid, and the spring green paired with the patterned panel adds just enough contrast to catch the light in subtle ways. I paired it with the Edith earrings by Sublime, understated but elegant.

The manor by PROPS! dominates the countryside it sits in and within it is dark and austere. You have a choice between two different size, much appreciated as many builds in Second Life run too big for my tastes. The smaller size also suited the main furnishings which are also available at WLRP; the antique wing chair from Lorien and the dressed from Laminak.
