OMG.WHAT.THE.HECK.DID.I.DO.THIS?! O_O
MORE DETAILS INSIDE! PLEASE FULL VIEW FIRST! XD
Hello everyone~ :)
It's been quite not a long while, surprisingly. I feel like drawing once again. However, it's on a different
level and objective now. I can't thank enough for all the great constructive criticisms for my previous Ayupan's POP-Secret Style. Not only that,
the dress there is my 1st design ever created. Now I'm moving for my second turn :D
However, do note that this is my 1st time putting down my description of this dress. Thus, I apologize if my vocabulary
here sounds weird in explaining. I don't have any formal education of fashion designing yet but just a passion
which has just lighted up :)
As you can see here, the basic style in this dress is based on the cute little dress I saw in shopping mall when I was
very young. And now, I'm remaking it by combining some Oriental features into it :)
(Please don't focus too much on that 'model'. I'm not creating her for fan service, but for personal
reasons ^___^" This dress's design is what matter the most :D )
As the title itself speaks, yes, this dress is named "Butterfly Fairy". Why? Because the wings-like laces
around her shoulder resembles wings. Yet, to emphasize the carefree grace, I added "angel" :D
To begin with, her collar is the Manchu style from China's Qipao. It's also used to secure the dress of the upper part, by
clipping both side (the clip is at the center of it). Besides, it is secured by thin soft semi-transparent folded cloths
(linen?) which consist of 4 strips there. The lace on both shoulders are retained exactly like what I saw in the the
original dress years ago. :)
Note that the lace-liked folded strips are curve down to create a slight illusion of a jacket. A butterfly-shaped bow
was placed in the middle; On the lower part however, is a likeness of a corset. The strings there held the skirt (but
isn't the only main item to lock both parts together ^_^' ). There's a "M" shaped curve at the
front waist (which can be designed as gold-plated). A sure Oriental style is the pink-purplish Chinese cloth belt (that
is noticible in martial arts' uniform) decorated with ocean wave paterns and held together with a string tied with
Mystic knob & jade bangle. (Note: The alphabet "R" at the end of the cloth represents this model's
name Rosemary. Thus, one can always have her name stylishly sewn on it :) )
The external skirt is decorated with Chinese patterns of clouds and bamboo leaves. Such designs are also used in
contemporary Western's Oriental flavors as well. Moreover, an expression of heavenly beauty is created (as if
she's above dreamland clouds? ^_^' ). XD
But then, you may see the folding of the external skirt seems deviantly not in straight line with the center part. I
shall emphasize that it's pretty much an illusion: the inside of this external skirt is also painted with patterns
too. The center even line is still there ^_^'
Moving to her dark-blue silk gloves, they are multifunctionals. For example, when one stretch up her gloves by pulling
up gently, the long laces will be flipped forward and cover the hand, exposing only her fingernails above. This is
purposely to keep hands warm. :)
Meanwhile, the socks are white fishnet socks with 0.3mm diametre hole. Its softness and smaller hole will not compromise
her comfort in the shoes while at the same time allowing skin to breath. It's made of cotton after all.
For the shoes, they are redesigned from Gothic Lolita's Mary Jane shoes. Added design are
daisy-shaped diamond on each shoe respectively.
Disclosed together, I will explain briefly about this model girl :) Her hairstyle is an androgynous style. At the same
time, her front side of her hair are dyed in color a little darker than her behind ones. Nevertheless, not to
stereotype, her specs are not the usual 'nerdy' oval type, but the modern rectangular ones. :) Do note that
her legs are curiously short; but it's for one reason: she resembles my friend, who too has short legs!
^_^'
Comments are dearly appreciated, especially when I really need it to improving my designs! XD Thanks very much! *bows*
My apologize if I can't explain properly >.<
p/s: This doujinshi is also presented in conjunction of my 19th birthday [9 August 2007] X-P XD
