Faerie Tale Horror Masquerade

Description

In which Lola does her best to try something a little bit off and horrorish and fails.

As I said in the sketch version, when I read how the Scottish 410B tale used a kist where most use a cloak, I had an idea and I had to do it.

It also has one of the most insane choices for dresses. You're probably used to the Sun-Moon-Stars trilogy of dresses from no less than three tales made by the men who pretty much proved Proto-Indo-European language (Or at least made the law of how it worked). The scottish version has a dress of Swans down, a dress of Moorlan canach (a plant fiber that when I searched, got a translation of cotton), a dress of gold and silver that stands on its own, and a shoe of gold and a shoe of silver. I tried to leave nods to each of them, while also making a right-and-proper 19th century ballgown. Those things are gorgeous and sleek and can't work without tightlacing. Granted, Aileen isn't exactly tightlaced, but she still wears a corset underneath that is pressing on her. If I do the other events, I'm gonna be poking fun at the thing

The cup is just there because I liked that pose to reference.

My goodness, I admire how much research and thought you put into this while designing Aileen's outfit~ I can only imagine how it must be trying to incorporate the elements but I think the dress turned out neat and fitting for her!

I also want to take this opportunity to say thank you for participating in the event! I hope to see any more submissions from you regarding the other events! Ahaaa that is... if you have the time of course!! Hope you had/have fun~!
