The members of my subscribo-matic group were presented with the above gown, Princess of All Hallows Eve, for the price of just 50L. This gown is a Limited Edition, and after Halloween it will dissapear from the store forever. The good news is, even if you are not a group member, you can still pick it up until November the first.

This also offers a glimpse at a forthcoming release. The ‘Princess’ gowns will be out soon in a variety of colours, so stay tuned!

It’s been a while, and the pending works in my inventory are begging me for completion. As I try to find time for all of them, I’ve managed to at least get one new one out, Seraph. I’ve elected to keep this post decidedly succinct, and in keeping so, I will skip ahead to the main points of interest in the Seraph gowns.

They are simple, yet elegant creations, each with handsome gold trim (save the black version, which also bears a silver trim option), and they’re only 250L!

More to come soon, lovelies…

So, as I twittered the other day, and mentioned earlier, the Subscribo hit over 1,000 members. To celebrate this there’s a little gifty for the members, Ariel in black. it can be found in the Subscribo group’s past notices, and also in the main store for 100L for the non members for a limited time.

It’s been a while since the last release, my apologies for this. As usual, I’ve been busy. But not too busy to create a new release, and not so busy that I didn’t notice the Subscribo hit over 1,000 members. We still have well over 1,400 people in the old update group, however. Migration is a good idea, as there’s a free gift waiting for you if you do. Both the Subscribo and the old group will still receive the same messages.

Anyways on to the new release. Rhapsody is a gown meant to flow seamlessly between Medieval and more Victorian themes. Available in 11 colours, at both light and dark end of the spectrum there’s something for just about every taste.

There are two skirt styles, and two sleeve styles included. The first skirt is a traditional over/underskirt combo, which looks lush and soft upon sight, and creates a classic ball gown appearance. The second is the more Victorian leaning skirt, which, with it’s lovely bustle and carefully hand-crafted bow trimmings, gives a romantic, elegant feel. The bows on this version of skirt are met with a square cut diamond pin.

Also included, as a bonus, are a matching choker and hair pin. I really enjoyed making these gowns, though I was very pressed for time in doing so. I’d also like to mention that there is indeed a fat pack available, giving you the option to get all eleven shades for just over 25% off the regular price.

In taking the pictures for this post, I ended up travelling to many places on the Grid for those special places…ones that really caught my eye. The majority of them are from New York themed sims (Acropolis and Staten Island), as well as Paris 1900.

I’ll give a bit of info about the Ariel gown in Black in the nest post. Also, I noticed a few people have found my long dormant Twitter, and are following me.

The newest release in the Sanctum is actually one of the oldest, completely overhauled and reworked with the textures being modified, and some new textures added, as well as completely new prim work. I present to you, the new incarnation of Lynet.

Lynet in it’s first form was one of the first gowns I’d ever made in SL, and I’ve come such a long way since then, but still loved the original textures from that gown. I decided it was time I breathe new life into the gowns, and these images show some of the result of that.

The Lynet gowns are available in three variations. Lynet itself, is a monochrome gown, available in eight jewel tones, with system top, glitch pants, prim skirt, and prim over skirt included. There are also two ’wench’ variations – something completely different for the Sanctum.

Lynet Wench, includes white flex sleeves, black top and overskirt, with the skirt itself being the element that varies from gown to gown. There are seven different wench gowns, each with a different hue of skirt.

Lynet Wench Deux utilizes a white skirt and white sleeves, with the top and overskirt being the variant. This emulates the under dress/overdress style of Medieval gown, something nice and simple for every day ladies who appreciate comfort.

Take a peek after the jump for a close up of the back of the bodice.

Again on the theme of catching up on new releases, the Tatiana gowns. These are more of a simple, basic Medieval gown, designed to be a more down to earth creation that is more comfortable for every day Medieval role-playing. The Tatiana gown’s hand drawn textures pull this off, without losing any of the delicate, ornate detail found in the belt and trim.

Including both fingerless gloves, and flex sleeves, there are a few ways in which this gown can be worn, as these images help illustrate. Even without the belt, flex sleeves, and gloves, it’s still a lovely and sleek, form fitting piece of beauty.

I created these in darker tones then most of my creations, as I felt a bit of a change of pace was in order. The choice to make the trim be gold was simple, and the below image shows the detail of the prim belt made just for this gown.

It’s been rather hectic for me of late with all thing different projects I’ve been working on, both in and out of SL. With all the posts to do with the photo contest, it’s high time I caught up on posts about the releases, and so to start, the Cyrenia Deux gowns, which were released at the same time as the Ariel gowns.

Both gowns utilize the same gorgeous, flowing skirt with careful, intricate prim work. With layer upon layer of both solid and sheer fabrics, a resplendent cascading bustle, and finished off with sculpted roses, the skirt will catch every eye.

Cyrenia Deux, like her sister gowns, comes in a total of 15 shades, both pastels and jewel tones. The delicate matching circlet veils are also included, and just like the original Cyrenia gowns, they are endowed with gem change capability…simply click to choose from 11 gems, so that your ensemble will match effortlessly with any accessories you choose to have accompany it.

More after the jump, so please click the link to read on!

Also, Cyrenia shoes can be found in the main store at Avilion Vale. They are simple, versatile heels, available in all the same shades as the Cyrenia and Cyrenia Deux gowns. Their versatility also makes them useable with any number of other outfits, as well.

As a side note, skins used in these images is from LAQ, and hair is from both Exile, and ETD.

Just a quick post to say that entries for the contest are no longer being accepted. We will have a top 3, and 6 runners up, once the judges have deliberated. The Mayah Tiaras have been delivered to all participants as a thank you gift for their lovely efforts. It may take a while tojudge the images, as they are all so beautiful. Until then, you can take a look at them at Avilion Vale.

This is the ‘Current’ set, consisting of necklace, tiara, and earrings. With decadent gems and a few stiffened chains that defy gravity, it’s sure to impress. It’s going to the first place winner of the photo contest!
