black velvet bustle evening bodice

[madamemodiste]

..aaaaand I never shared a photo of that black velvet bustle bodice I talked about months ago! Here I am wearing it with the Lost Souls skirt at the SPWF

Kinda sad...the black ate up all the light and you can't really see it, but there it is

I can make out the draping and pleating, which as usual (you are amazingly talented at this period) is superb. Moreover, it just fits you beautifully and looks very elegant. Oddly, though it's all black, it doesn't look very goth to my eyes--more like the dark style actually worn in the day. Anyhow--I think it's great!
