Dress frustration

Okay, looks like this dress has soaked up all the dye it ever will, especially after three different kinds of dye. And it's a better color than it was - dusky pink is INFINITELY better than lavender. Plus, it gives me the option to swap out to white roses/freesia on my hairclip/bustle accent. It wouldn't take a lot of effort, as they're pop-on, pop-off. Plus, white would look better with pearls. And I could even wear my cyberfalls with it sometime.

Also, it would be totally fitting for my character to wear this demure, modest dress with a bright red corset peeking out from underneath xD And it'd be perfect with a red garter.

All in all, I'm settling for the "this is an awesome dress, but it's not the *red seductress dress* I wanted." The seductress dress should be slinkier, anyway. Maybe I'll wait for red satin to go on sale and buy a pattern and make the damn thing myself.

Slinky it is not, but the dress I wore for Elanthia is here (http://www5.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?DeptID=50434&CatID=68312&GrpTyp=SIZ&ItemID=157cca1&attrtype=&attrvalue=&CMID=50434|50444&Fltr=&Srt=&QL=F&IND=27&cmVirtualCat=&CmCatId=50434|50444|68312). I recall the red being a little brighter than it appears in the web site's picture.

Anyway, sexy red touches to the existing dress sound like a good idea.

Also: I didn't do anything special with the shawl that goes with that JC Penney dress, but I'm betting you could rig a very nice bow/bustle out of it!
