I have a deep love from olde fashioned England, and the Armada Breakaway definitely fits old fashioned in a few difference senses - drawing from older fashioned and fictional sources of Steampunk England, and using older styles of texturing and building which have gone out of style on Second Life. I found it a bit of a challenge to photograph for the latter issue - angling things so that everything looked good, lighting things so that they appear complete, I'm always amazed at the difference a few degrees of angle can have on how the whole world appears. Especially with the flames below - since they're flat instead of three dimensional, simply look at them on end can make them all but disappear! My wings have a similar problem; much as I adore them, I am in the market for similar mesh wings. Had I the skills, I might make them myself!It would make picture taking so much easier if they didn't vanish on certain angles! I really would have liked to have seen what the Armada Breakaway could have looked like updated and in mesh; based on my experience in another sim, not only would the prim counts have dropped, but the intricacy and detailing would have skyrocketed.
Speaking of mesh, both my dress and the shoes are rigged mesh; the former is a new color from Violent Seduction for sale for only 70$L as part of the Cupcakes opening festivities, while the latter are the cream colored Rocking Horse shoes from Wishbox, released recently. I really think they both suit each other, being whimsical and well made. In the lighter shades, you can really get a sense of the detail that went into the Versailles Dress, and a eel for the scandalous effect of the low-cut bodice. I paired it with a casual cute pig tail style from Exile, something I bought ages ago and that also comes with mesh flower attachments. The jewelry is from my go-to standard, Eclectica, the Rose set; it's a design of stones set in intricately wrought wire, and while it predates mesh it remains gorgeous.
