The Giulia Lella Blue Gown: Tasteful Elegance & Confidence in Fluid Motion



Over the years, the formal gown has become an 
iconic piece of fashion history – it is associated with elegance, 
glamor, and societal celebration. 


However, from a design standpoint, the gown is only 
as grand as the sum of its parts.


Every version, regardless of its shape or size, is the result of 
several dynamics working together to enhance the woman 
in a specific way and to create unique vision. 


This Giulia Lella Blue Gown is elegant confidence in motion. 


It epitomizes the art of (womanly) refinement and living graciously here in Second Life. Its true and rich elegant style embodies 
a classic, cohesive, and sophisticated look. 


The neckline of this gown is designed to add character, 
while setting off the face and shoulders. Its playful floral pierrot 
style collar seamlessly supports an open keyhole back - 
creating both fun and fashionable flair at once. 


The blue back sash bow gives this gown a youthful look, 
surprisingly without drawing a lot of attention. 


The inherent sex appeal of its sky blue sheath is eloquently downplayed with the addition of flirty floral embroideries


This wonderful mermaid ball gown celebrates princess appeal 
with a gorgeous strapless sweetheart ruffled neckline, dropped basque waistline (with stunning white and bead blue floral patterning), 
and a beautiful flowing full-length skirt.


And, I just love the eccentric look of the petal hat 
with its whimsical stem garnish appointment. 


This Giulia Lella Blue Gown is designed for that very special 
occasion where you want to look your best, show your stuff, 
and be your glamorous, confident and elegant self.

Marianela's Alissa Blue Gem Gown Wraps Your Body with Flirtatious Flair



This Alissa Blue Gem Gown by Marianela definitely caught my eye. 


It's time to pull out the belly dance scarves and start practicing again! 

 This stunning outfit will not only captivate and allure your special someone, but you will also feel like a star on any dance floor.


This beautifully detailed and wrapped fusion style dress 
flows with such delightful movement.


I love how this playful ensemble wraps around my body with flirtatious flair. I especially like this tribal style inspired dress because it presents sensual movement, with an emphasis on fluid swirls. 


Its abstract use of blue gems with gold settings are 
artistically and tastefully arranged against a beautiful 
ultra-sheer white base foundation.


The cascading and sheer quality of the long layered train makes this Alissa Blue Gem Gown spectacular. The white sheer chiffon paneling of the skirt has gorgeous design tapestry on each section. 


It spins beautifully and pairs perfectly with the top.

This particular fusion dress has a strong contemporary influence 
and as such it is elegantly pared down to a sleek, more 
minimalist style unlike many other tribal fusion dresses.


Marianela has paved the way - sculpting intricate, rich, and 
sensual details into the design of this stunningly sexy dress


Enjoy a sensual night out in this one-of-a-kind

Zaara's Chandni Lehenga: The Mystical Mixture of Fluidity & Elegance



The Lehenga that I am modeling today is from Zaara 
and it is called the Chandni Lehenga.


Unlike the traditional sari, 
a Lehenga sari is a traditional Indian outfit that's usually worn for festive occasions. The Lehenga consists of a ankle length skirt that's usually embroidered in various techniques.


The Dupatta - mostly for modesty, is a length of fabric that has some embroidery and is draped across the bust. The Blouse - also known as a 'choli', is a tight fitted crop top covering the bust line.


The Hip Jewel - also known as a 'chabi ka gucha' was traditionally used to hold keys to the house and house safe. Today it is an optional accessory that can be worn on the side of the hip, or in this case to hold the Dupatta in place.



The Lehenga style Saree is a most exemplary silhouette and 
paradoxical mix of both fluidity and elegance.


Today the saree is worn in at least 10 to 15 styles throughout India. Some people incorrectly think that the Indian saree was influenced by the Greek or Roman toga.



The truth is that the saree is essentially 100% Indian origin
and designed to suit environmental conditions.



In fact, the cotton from which the original saree was fabricated was cultivated in India centuries before Alexander the Great landed on the borders of India and Indian cloth (chira or saree) 


The Saree is also mentioned in Vedas, which is the
oldest (surviving) literature in the world (3000 B.C.).



The saree has survived because it is the main wear of rural India.
75% of the population (now a billion as per official estimate)
wear the versatile saree.

Giulia Kaory Dress: A Composition of Beauty, Modesty, Softness and Grace




This Giulia Kaory Dress is both timeless and breathtaking at once. 

The Oipao-Cheongsam Chinese influence of this dress 
creates a sleekly curvaceous silhouette on your figure, 
showing off your femininity and sophistication. 

This dress is appropriate for just about any occasion.



This below-the-knee length Kaory dress embodies Chinese traditional features, such as its Mandarin collar and wonderful embroidery. 

This gorgeous dress also evokes eastern female beauty 
in classically artistic fair. 

It is certainly for the fashionable lady with refined tastes. 
 It is not an extravagant look, but rather an enchanting one - for it combines the elegance of Chinese tradition with today's style.




As you can see, this Giulia Kaory Dress does not require 
accessories like a scarf, necklace or belt for it 
is designed to show off the natural softness of the female form. 


The matching embroidered bodice, hem, outseams, and 
long puffed-bell sleeves of this dress are all that is needed.

 This particular style of dress has a long history of development. Originally born out of the oriental Cheongsam socialite feminine culture during the 1930s and 1940s, it has since transformed 
in style with extraordinary refinement and grace.




The dress displays all of a woman's modesty, softness and beauty. 
And, similar to a Chinese women's disposition, this Cheongsam 
look is elegant, serene, and gentle which in turn makes the 
woman wearing it fascinating and exotic.


The long neck, graceful back and slender waist of this Giulia Kaory Dress epitomizes the sensual essence of Chinese fashion. It is not about the bareness of a woman that is sexually attractive but rather the beautiful balance between concealment and bareness.
