Starting with a closer look at the jewelry, the Princess Venus collection consists of a necklace and a pair of earrings, sold separately. It is an elaborate, romantic look, with coloured stones set against pale metal and pale stones. The necklace is an impressive piece which fits nicely around the neck and accentuates any neckline at the front. The earrings are quite large, and this set is definitely something for a more formal occasion. But the heart-motif that is carried throughout the whole design ensures that it does not come across as too stiff or cold.

And do click the image for the larger size; even that really isn’t large enough to quite do the sets intricacy justice.

While I have been a fan of Alienbear for quite some time, Sparkle Skye is a new designer to me. That is, I have seen her gowns before and admired the elaborate designs, but I have not tried one on before.

The gown (here seen in the lovely MoonLight colour) is every bit as elaborate I had imagined, with some lovely flow to the flex of the prims. There is also a stunning array of options: three different ballgowns (no train, short train, looooooooong train) and a mini skirt as well as several different options for the top, various sleeve attachments, wings, wreaths and so on. Depending on what you wear, you can make it more or less fantastical. It is definitely quite stunning.

Considering the complexity of the skirts, some alpha flicker is to be expected (not the least when you add in the very lovely wings too), and I find it doesn’t bother me in motion even if it can be hard to work with for static shots. Texture-wise I think the seams on the bodice could have been worked on a little more, but other than that its a beautiful, crisp pattern. My main issue would be with the permissions; I am not a fan of scripting instead of regular modify, especially not with script limits coming up.
