I think I rambled quite a bit about how much I loved this HA back when you first made it. I still lovelovelove it. That skirt layering is just incredible - you made A DROPWAIST SKIRT. OMFG. I don't think anyone else has ever done that before and even if they've tried, it definitely never looked this good. Not only that, but it's a tiered dropwaist skirt and you did it without looking fussy or tryhard, which is how that type of layering usually comes off. It just looks so easy and natural here.

Now I don't know how you did it, but you also managed to pull off a longer skirt without the legs turning stubby. That. Is. Magic. That skirt especially is difficult to use because it's so awkwardly proportioned on most avatars.

The texture in this is just gorgeous too - I adore the way you've taken advantage of all the bits of lace and layered them to their full potential to kind of create sub-layers within the skirt layers. BRILLIANT.

Also, it's just flat-out adorable. I really dig the quirky twist on 20s style and you used that bright hue of red. Not only do I find that a really difficult color to use, but it can come off as kind of a cliche color. Not here though, because you smartly balanced it against gray instead of black.

This is just put together really nicely. Love it.
