Description

Wahoo! I finished it! So . . . technically it's 1:15am on April 11th and it was due on April 10th . . . ummm . . . I hope it still counts!

This if for :icongacktjobnomiko: 's contest. The goal was to design her OC, Sailor Centauri, a Lolita outfit. You can find the details here.

I was so freaking stoked when I saw she was doing this contest and I was inspired right away. I would have gotten it done sooner, but I was in the UK and had no scanner access. I did all the digital coloring today of it, so I was really limited on time on that front so that's why the stripes don't do the proper directional changes . . . Uh . . I mean . . . fabric TOTALLY flows like that . . .

So onto the details. I've included what kind of fabrics are used in my dream creation, they can be altered according to budget and construction constraints.

Another note: I used a fashion croquis as a base, so the proportions (arm, torso & leg lengths) are REALLY exaggerated. I'll include in the descriptions where the different pieces actually fall on the length of the body since it isn't that obvious in the picture.

Corset: Main body is made with turquoise satin. Cinches from the top to the waist with a thick, satiny, magenta sash. Sash ties in back as a large, perky bow with short tails. Center of the bow has Sailor Centauri's crystal/symbol thingy. Corset splits near the bottom in the front and has a scalloped bottom all the way around that is lined with the magenta satin. Top of corset has two rows of wide lace, one magenta and one turquoise. Bottom of corset also has lace filling the split and then two more rows of lace below the bottom edge. Corset bottom falls right around the hips.

Top Portion: Main body is made with white, magenta & turquoise pinstriped cotton. The sleeves are short and have scalloped edges. The neck piece is choker style. Pinstriped fabric making the main band with two rows of lace both above and below. Perky bow in the front center of satin magenta with medium length tails. Sailor Centauri's crystal/symbol is at the center of the bow.

Sleeve Extensions: Main fabric is the pinstripe. Bell-style sleeve (tighter at top and flares out). Scalloped top and bottom with both ends having two rows of the lace. Wraps and ties above the elbow in a perky bow with a satin turquoise ribbon with trailing ends. When arm is at side, sleeve length is to the first knuckle.

Skirt: Main fabric is the pinstripe. Skirt is made up of several "petals" sewn together and repeating the scalloped theme. Bottom of skirt has two rows of the lace. This skirt is meant to be really flared out, my imagination has this being done with turquoise and magenta tulle. The skirt falls only to around mid-thigh, so it's meant to look really dramatic.

Bloomers: Main fabric is magenta satin with scalloped leg bottoms. Two rows of the lace at the bottoms and turquoise ribbons wrapping and tying into perky bows with trailing tails. There is an added frill that can be put on these, but I didn't show it. On the boo-tay of the bloomers, ruffles can be added for a little extra "ooh-la-la."

Accessories: Stocking are an opaque white nylon. Shoes are ala Marie Antoinette with satin, perky, magenta bows and lined with the turquoise lace. Earrings are posts with small magenta bows with dangling iridescent turquoise hearts. I wanted to keep the hair simple since the dress is so elaborate. The hair is styled very wavy, with half of the hair pulled up into two very high pig-tails with turquoise ribbons tied into perky bows with very long tails.

So there it is! My design that I am ever so proud of and the description of DOOM!!!
