New Pixeldolls…err…pixelclothes?
By Jaydei Benmergui | May 8, 2007
I am Nephilaine’s pixel groupie. Seriously, I am constantly awed by the work this girl does in our world, clothing and otherwise. I would follow her around all day and just gawk, but that’s not my style. (Besides, her lawyer is finalizing the restraining order this week…)
Ahem…anyhoo, here are the new releases!
(Skin in all pictures by Celestial Studios, hair by Naughty Designs)
“Lucie” is a darling-meets-daring dress with poofy prim sleeves, a wee touch of a decolletage, beautiful lacy fabric with straps along the bust and waist line, and a prim skirt with bows adorning the bottom trim. The skirt is actually a single prim which in theory sounds weird, but it works well for this dress, and is also a snap to adjust correctly. Wear with a normal skin to get the uber-trendy look, or with a goth skin to pull off the Goth-Lolita look you know you covet.
Available in 12 colors, and comes with the shirt, glitch pants, prim poofs and skirt.
“Amoreaux” is a lovely little dress that makes me want to go out dancing (in RL, where I hear there’s less lag…astounding). Made with a shimmery fabric that appears to reflect light just enough to catch the attention of the nearby cuties, yet not enough to blind them if the light hits just so (if you’ve ever been to a RL club, you’ll know exactly what type of dress, and girl, I’m referring to). The skirt is short, ruffly, and leg-baring, exposing the thigh right below a cute little heart. Wear this, when you want to be the showstopper.
Available in 12 colors, and comes with the shirt, glitch pants, prim skirt, and fishnet stockings (on underwear/sock layers).
From left to right, two new tops…the “Twist T” and “Button Tank”. The Twist T is shown here in the cherry print, and is the new shirt that I will be randomly tossing on when I’m nekkid and need a quick outfit change. More info than you needed to know, I’m sure.
The Button Tank is modeled here in the gingham print, and is a very girly, casual shirt, for when you want to dress up, but not appear dressed up. “I just threw this on, isn’t it fabulous”…that kind of look.
Both of these are available in PixelDolls’ 15 patterns. Shirt layer.
Buy these at PixelDolls.

Nephilaine always has the most beautiful and flawless texturing techniques. And her clothing concepts are refreshing. Nice review.

Hee!
I seriously burst out laguhing when I read that.
BTW, my fav. part of that dress are the accompanying fishnets. There are so many pairs in SL, but so few who do it well.

Posted by: New PixelDolls and Miriel and a « SL Fashion Notes on May 10th, 2007 at 12:29 pmI have to admit, when I read this post (albeit a bit late) I drooled over these dresses, and high-tailed my behind over.
Posted by: Jet on May 19th, 2007 at 11:20 amBut when I got my dresses they didn’t fit right. Ok, no big, I know how to adjust. But they were so hard to adjust. Getting the fit right, and the textures to match was a major challenge. Not only that, but theres an uneven number of prims on the “Amoreaux” skirt- there’s a ton in front, but only 3 to cover the behind, getting it to fit was not easy. I got mine adjusted so it looks nice, but totally not what I was expecting.
