Description
EDIT: Updated version! I slimmed up the sleeves and cleaned up some areas, especially the lace. I tried to make the boots look like patent leather, but they're a bit messily rendered.Very rough sketch.
I took inspiration from victorian funeral wear, because really, what's gother than that? Also, there's a smidgen of elegant gothic lolita in there.
Fabric would be relatively thick cotton with pinstripes( hat and choker are of same fabric). The crown charms on the skirt and choker are silver, fastened with pins and decorated with differently sized and colored ribbons. White lace comes through sleeves, black lace veil comes from hat. Boots are black leather.
The colors are a bit washed out looking because I wanted to be able to see the actual design under there. I'm iffy on the red highlights, ideas for other colors or placements?
Critiques please!

I love the outfit. It is really chic. Love the accessories. I am just not sure if it connects to the Goth or Punk theme.

Oh wow, victorian lolita thingy going on here. I love it. Only thing that could make it better is maybe if you made those poof shoulders (you know?) and then reaaaaally slim arms on the top. I think it would look pretty cool on this desgin.
The colours are wonderful though
good luck

wooo I really love the detail on the skirt.
I'd have to say try making the sleeves a little more fitted. Maybe a small (SMALL) mutton chop sleeve in keeping with the victorian feel the jacket has? Just something to experiment with- it could look really cool if it was done right.

This is VERY cool!!!!
I think the top of this could be thinner esp. with the sleeves, because as it is the top looks oddly demure... maybe too much so. Maybe my taste.
Great construction and silhouette of skirt. Cool stuff.

Thanks very much! Did you have any opinion on whether I should keep the red? I think it may look better once the dress is straight black-pinstripes, it might just be the grey throwing me off.

I like the red trim, but if your looking for something else, perhaps purple...?
