rouge-aerie:

Tonight at the palaceofprinces event Nightfall, we debuted a special showpiece, the Harper Ensemble!

This two-piece set was created using poly shantung, chiffon, and a beautiful tapestry-style stripe. The dragonscale smocking, crystal accents, and gold embroidery were all applied by hand over the course of roughly a month. The coordinating Nephelai collar and belt were made using leftover pieces from chokers that did not meet QC standards, but add just the right amount of sparkle on the runway!

This piece is definitely not your traditional lolita outfit, but we’re still quite taken with the final results, and hope that you are too!
