I was invited to an event to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic and was asked to put together a look appropriate to 1912. Having just attended the same type of event in real life, I was familiar with the fashions of the era. I knew the dress that was going to be the basis of the outfit. It was the new group gift release by Poulet Koenkamp of PurpleMoon. (see the original outfit here: "Marlene"). The design of the base skirt and the lovely doubled bowed sash made for a perfect start. I moved the sash higher to create the empire waist look..and then added a black organza sheer overskirt. Since the original Marlene dress was strapless, I needed to find the right top to get the similar look to the top that I was using for my inspiration. A meander through my inventory revealed the perfect thing, the top from Whippet & Buck's Meela Lace Dress... with a slight color touch-up to match the skirt.. it completed the overall look. I decided on an Edwardian hairstyle and completed the look with jewelry from Electica.
