Description from the group is running a "Top Model" type fashion challenge in which each contestant picks out a model which they will use in the various challenge rounds.  I chose model #14, which I named Violette. (I'm using the German pronunciation, which sounds like "Vee-oh-Let-tah".) She works out very well for me since my absolute favorite color ever just happens to be purple.  When I started making her debut outfit I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to go for, except I had an idea of using a pastel contrasted with black, which can be very striking.  By the time I got to the shoe section, I'd had a completely different dress started, then just for the hey of it I tried the boots on her, and I fell in love.  And I decided to go with a different outfit than what I'd started with, and this was the eventual result.  I like the boldness of it, yet it's still graceful and has some nice shades of lavender and purple, plus the black contrast that I was wanting to implement.  

In the process of making this outfit, I realized what the character was like, and what her name was.  For instance, Violette, despite her name, is anything BUT shy.  She's not afraid to stand out in a crowd but she still likes things to coordinate and look nice together.  I think she's half French and half German, which leads to her having a strong sense of aesthetics which she got from her mother, and a penchant for being a perfectionist which she got from her father, which often means she'll be working until 5 in the morning at times just to finish a dress, or re-doing it several times until she's happy with it.  This particular outfit which she made has a certain sense of whimsy which she finds appealing.

Definitely a nice dress.
The patterns remind both of petals/flowers and card suits, while in general she looks like a superheroine in her signature suit.

Thank you! And that's sort of what kept popping into my head when I was working on it. I was actually contemplating trying to give her a mask of some kind for a bit, but decided against it for now.
