A high-victorian styled gown with a bustle that is swept up in the back, and accented with tiny sculpted rosebuds, giving you a very sexy silhouette. The layered gown moves beautifully as you glide across a dancefloor, or remove the bustle for a less formal styled straight flowing skirt. The top has sheer lace at the neckline, with solid sleeves that hang off the shoulder into long flowing cuffs at the elbow, caught around the waist with a long, beautifully detailed waist cincher that can be worn on it's own. The outfit is finished off with matching sheer floral stockings that attach to the waist cincher's garters, and matching panty.

Includes:
• Top
• Waist cincher
• Cuffs
• Under skirt
• Skirt bustle
• Stockings
• Panty

We are very excited to be participating in this year's Virtual London Fashion Week in Second Life! The event organizers have put together an amazing week-long event which runs from 19th to the 25th of September. Some amazing vendor booths, freebies and prize boards, and several amazing runway shows being held each day. The event is starting to get some great attention, with notices on Prim Perfect, iheartSL, and New World Notes.

We are very excited to be participating in two separate runway shows. The first is on Sunday at 2PM SLT, featuring a sexier 'body beautiful' theme, and the second one happens on Tuesday at 2PM SLT when VLFW on a theme clothing night. The fashion shows are not free - tickets are L$100 for each day. While it would be nice for the event to be completely free, making it a ticketed event should cut down on lag and make for a much better experience for everyone. You can check out the complete schedule and buy tickets here.

We will be featuring more than two dozen ensembles in the two shows, as well as featuring brand new mixes made for the events by Trilo. If you've ever wanted to see how some of our most fashionable pieces look in-world, this is your chance! Tickets are not required to explore the VLFW booths, get some freebies, and chances to win prizes. Our booth is located on the upper level of the expo center.

The long vest is a stunning silk brocade fabric, held in front with a series of silver and gem buttons wrapped with cord. The vest is paired with high collar, and is wrapped around the neck with a lace scarf, caught at the front with a silver and gem pin. The pants are detailed with the same fabric as the details on the jacket, and laced down the sides with grommets and cord. The pants come in flare and boot-cut versions.

We are very pleased to announce a Photo Contest of sorts. That is, we would love to see photographs of you wearing BlakOpal Designs in Second Life. The best snapshots will be included in a customer photo gallery on the BlakOpal site, and the winners will get a BlakOpal L$300 gift card!

Entering is easy, and costs nothing. Take your shapshot, and choose either Send Via Email (and send to trilobyte@me.com) or Save To Your Hard Disk (and then send the image as an attachment to trilobyte@me.com). If you're saving to disk and sending manually, please be sure to include your SL avatar name. That's it! If we use your snapshot, we'll send you a gift card and add it to the Customer Gallery (available on the Galleries page).

Let's answer some questions...

Can I enter more than once?
Yes, absolutely! If you've got several great jaw-dropping photos, send them along!

Can I win more than once?
Yes, absolutely! For every picture we use, you win a gift card.

Will you give me credit?
Of course! Unless you specify in your email that you'd prefer to remain anonymous, we'll put your name in the gallery beside your snapshot.

What if the photographer and the model are two different people?
There's still only one gift card per winning entry, and the gift card gets sent to the avatar that sent us the photo. But we're happy to list the model name and photographer name alongside the snapshot.

Can I crop/edit the snapshot before sending?
Yes, absolutely. While it's certainly not required, you are welcome and encouraged to have fun with this.

Can I mix/match/modify outfits in the snapshots I send?
Yes, absolutely. One of the reasons we love copy/mod clothing is so you can adjust and tweak it to our heart's content, and we'd love to see what you've come up with.

Good luck, and send us your photos!

A beautifully exotic gown with lots of flowing layers of beaded and embroidered fabrics. The silk bodice with sheer shoulders and sleeves is detailed with lots of beaded trim, worn with a multi-layered skirt trimmed with beads, and finished with gathers of more embroidered satin. Theres a semi-sheer and beaded scarf that drapes over one shoulder and falls long down the front, hangs loose from the shoulder, with a second layer streaming long down the back over the skirt. The outfit can also be worn without the scarf, for a second beautiful look.
