When I logged in Thursday, moo Money sent me a teaser photograph of Delora Starbrook’s latest release at Haven Designs. Stunning was the only word I could think of to describe it. Later, when Delora offered a review copy of the dress, I couldn’t wait to put it on! I wasn’t disappointed.
Many have tried, not always successfully, to design a high-quality bandage dress. Delora got it exactly right! The texture seems to have a bit of shimmer and stretch, the shading on the torso accentuates the body-conscious and form-fitting design, and the line of the halter-style neckline, the way it frames the bust and wraps around to an almost sporty racer-back, is a unique and interesting touch. I’m wearing the dress in Purple and Blue, but I’ve already been to Haven Designs to pick up the Purple and Pink style that is a Limited Edition with all proceeds benefiting Relay for Life.
The shoes are from N-core, a shop that is new to me. This ultra-high heel features a prim foot and several customizable options. The skin tone menu was a bit confusing at first. When you select the menu, first choose from options A through E. These are the base skin tones. Once you’ve selected a tone, you can choose from 11 shades. It took a bit of trial and error, but I quickly figured out that 5C is a very close match to the Fair tone of LAQ’s new Glow version of her classic April skin line. April is delicately freckled and comes in two skin tones, Milky and Fair. The line is created specifically for red heads, but I think it works well for brunettes, also.
Happy Fourth of July to all of my stateside friends…and for those of you outside the US, have a very happy and relaxing weekend!
