Sangre Noir

Since the three people who read this already think Noirran Marx is fabulous, ignore us while I gush Add Imageover her newest. She's already expanded the Sangre Noir line past the gowns and dresses into more casual clothes and I'm seriously happy about that since I loved her casual work at Subtle Submission too. I tend to wear slacks more than dresses anyway and so when Noirran put up her new suit with pants and a fun flouncy coat...guh.

Layers. Noirran gets layers, especially for women...which means I can mix and match and play and if she never made another thing I'd have hundreds of combinations to work with already.

The suit first: black subtle brocade with nice edges, and silver laced bindings. Jacket top can be worn with or without the lower coat, giving it a more vest-like look (except not) or with the lower coat which gives that kind of kicky nearly formal flair that the George Sands would have adored.

It comes with a velvet and lace top, or without lace, because there are two sets of cuffs, and full layered collar with wee throat embellishment. I didn't quite get around to trying the shirt itself with other outfits... but I will.

It also comes with this very fun tophat, complete with beaded net veil, the kind of vintage elegance you rarely see any longer.

So, playing with it prompted me diving back into the Sangre noir folder and coming up with two of my favorite tops: the red crop from the Twisted hunt and the Pumpkin top from another hunt Noirran particapted in...GLEE!! the pumpkin especially worked with the chunky wood set Rosie made me and with the very nice cool gifts coming across from Le Look -- Bax Boots and a Maitreya slouchy hat and hair set that I kind of love.

There's no bad here at all. I ran through a ton of poses to get these shots and all the seams held up. The broacade is subtle but noticeable -- makes you wish you could touch it.

Gonna get a lot of wear out of this, for damn sure.

Enablers

I should just sign my stipend over to Noirran Marx of Sangre Noir and Subtle Submission. And I'd split it with Rosie Barthelmess of Sable Rose and Helix Constantine of Oddment, except they keep giving me stuff unless I sneak in in the wee odd hours and buy their stuff when they are sleeping.

It's entirely Noirran's fault I'm doing the "Down the Chimney Hunt" at all, because I went to Sangre Noir looking for the awesome new jeans she's released and there she was, tossing the open book that is the DTCH gift object casually on the floor for just anyone to pick up and get her latest fancy Gothic creation. She's terribly devious that way.

Look at it!! Just look at it. It's all lacy and velvety and flowy and versatile (the top and bodice goes with *everything*) and the hat does not make your head look like Tom Petty as the Mad Hatter in the "Don't Come Around Here" Vid. All her Skirts fit and her sleeves move and she gives layers and layers...

She's just evil. I like evil.

But I did get the jeans too, so there. And I maybe, *maybe* hung around the hidden lucky boards for a bit trying for the way-too-fun Skeletal Opera Gloves. I didn't get them, but I'm patient, I can wait.

And then, having tripped over the fancy new dress, and then innocently reading the book from the hunt it as I was walking toward ~{Bounce}~ where the next chapter was hidden, I realized that the Azure side of the OMG makes me happy set that Rosie made and named for me would be perfect with it.

Be really clear, my inventory is scary, insanely big and I don't *need* a damn new thing to wear for as little as I'm around but...damn, shiny!

OPINION: I would like Raven Pennyfeather at Rfyre & Darwin Mizser at AVID to conjoin to create clothing making offspring and let Noirran Marx be the godmother.

Like I already don't spend enough *gd* lindens on clothing....
