The Ultimate Hepburn
By Grazia Horwitz | April 23, 2007
I think, I hope, that the photo Celeb was referring to is this totally delicious one by Ivalde’s Neferia Abel. She made this dress only today, inspired by all your “loverly”Audrey outfits and has posted it, but alas… too late. However I think it is a totally blogworthy little number so I just had to post it anyway. So… out of contest…. may I present to you … Mathilde… aka The Ultimate Hepburn.
For now this is the only version of this dress, but Neferia is working on some more colours. I have seen it in world, as a matter of fact, I’m wearing it right now, but I think Neferia’s photo is so nice and shows so well what inspired her that I decided to use hers.
I have been examining this dress over and over again.. and I have not been able to discover even a minimal thing that I don’t like about it. I can tell you what I do like best though, and that is first and foremost the texture of the bodice. Neferia has done it again. Puzzling with photoshop and her example textures (mostly old fabrics that she collects and recreates) until the shading on the bodice as well as the high waist were perfect. I also like the neckline and the hem of the prin skirt. The red ribbon on it is such a nice find. The bow is linked to the skirt, so you won’t have to attach it to your body somewhere, but when you move a lot with it, or dance, the bow tends to disapear temporarily in the skirt. But frankly, I think this is as good as SL gets bow-on-skirtwise. I am not a huge fan of hats in SL, but to my surprise this one immediately fitted like a glove err.. hat.
Neferia confided in me that she is working with a friend on more matching hats and shoes, where her friend will be making them and she wil be doing the textures… can’t wait to see the result of that.
Seen in world: yes ~ Review copy: yes ~ Friends list: yes

I NEED this dress. Course I NEED everything, but I really do NEED this dress. Lots of retro pretty pretty for me lately.

Secondly - I instantly fell in love with this dress and went in world and bought it. Easy to fit… and now I feel like a million dollars!
Now the only problem is where to go flaunt it, because to me it seems most of this world isnt really ehm… appreciative… of this style. Or at least I feel like I dont fit in when I wear it.
