This is my submission to *WSTopDeck 's Theme Contest. I did this just today. I was going over several ideas in my for this contest but then I just fell to doodling a dress. I remembered that one of the themes was "rose" so I tried to make a dress with a "rosy" kind of theme. It was supposed to be my character Rhianna, I suppose it still could be, but it's not exactly a period-correct dress. (I'm trying to go more Carolingian-Byzantine style in dress for them rather than a just braod "medieval" dress)

I got the background picture from here: [link]

Thank you!! It was a quick, fun little thing to design. Having a "theme" definitely helps.

So pretty! Great with the folds, and all the patterns without looking busy. And with the colours it's like Christmas meets St. Valentine's day!

Hehehe, yeah, it kind of does look like that! I usually am very color-stupid and just randomly throw colors together and hope it turns out right. This was one of those cases. My little sister said the gold made her dress look dirty. XD

The draping effect of her dress and the skirt gathers are lovely! She's gorgeous, too.

Oooh, I love the draping, especially how her overdress is gathered. I like those sleeves too! One does not see many short-sleeved gowns of that general style. She's absolutely lovely, and best of luck in the contest!

Theophilia In reply to Aranov [2009-08-05 19:22:34 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I kind of made the dress up as I went, I drew some inspiration for several dresses, but I mostly just made it up.

Yay for making stuff up! If such is the result, you should do it more often.
