Description Tetsuko's entry for the "Fashion Round" of the Maidens 08 competition.

From the official rules: "This year's theme is 'The Ancient Elements' where each competitor will dress in any article of clothing themed to the five ancient elements (Fire, Earth, Wind, Water, Aether)."

I think I may have inadvertently combined two elements - "Wind" and "Aether". Anyway, this pic should prove once and for all that fashion design is NOT my strong suit.

Astonishingly beautiful.
Both Tetsuko and her dress.
I'd suggest you consider dress design as your next career if I wasn't afraid it'd take time away from your FBB renderings.

A lovely picture though (and this is just my two cents) sandals would fit the theme of the picture a lot better as opposed to high heels which don't fit the picture to well.

Hmm...I will admit, she looks devine. Must be a pain to wear during the windy season, though.

aether isn`t what makes celestial bodies?
...also i realy don`t see aether on the dress i only see wind being used as a theme.the background sure enhances the chance of people saying that its more wind them aether.

very nice and very sexy.

I like the clouds tied to the theme of the ethereal accent fabrics.

Actually, Dave, I think the pic proves fashion design IS one of your strong suits. Not only is the garment elegant, but the sheerness of the outer layers (the flowing layers) makes one imagine "wind". Well done!!!

Lovely. Absolutely lovely. I like the accents of the fabric tied to her bangles. (Doesn't it restrict her movement a bit, though?)

I feel as if her face has her trying to act in a Shakespeare scene, or something similarly high-brow. What were you going for as far as expression?

Not really. The veils, scarves, whatever you want to call them, are attached at the bangles and the back of the leotard, and there's plenty of slack for movements. I'd say the Vampirella outfit Tet-chan wears in TCC 10 - October 2008 is more "restrictive" of her movement (though for different reasons )

Her expression - I was trying for something a little "classy", you might say.

(Thanks for the compliments!)
