First release: Onyx

One my biggest complaints with SL fashion on the average is a failure to appreciate the female form without going overboard into excess. Many gowns in SL tend toward one of two extremes: Gone With The Wind, or Stripper-in-Training (lol). And that's perfectly all right, after all, a woman needs enough dress choices to fit her many moods! But there seem to be fewer choices for women who want something less extreme - sensual but not slutty, elegant but with skirts that won't smother your dance partner.

Personally, I've always loved the classic James Bond girl - classy, sexy, and mysterious. Whilst thinking up this dress I daydreamed of a gorgeous woman stepping out of an Aston Martin DBS, all eyes turned toward her, the question in our hero's mind: is she an ally, or an enemy? I wanted this dress to fit just such a girl, figure-hugging yet with flowing lines to accentuate the beauty of her shape.



Highlight of bodice detail:



The result: Onyx, a sumptuous black gown with a beautifully detailed bodice and flowing asymmetrical prim skirt. Much like the Aston, this dress has style, elegance, and practically oozes class. It has the advantage of being able to be worn with a variety of hairstyles and jewelry options, whether you feel simple and understated or want to drown yourself in diamonds. A unique dress in a timeless colour perfect for an adventure-filled night out in SL!
