Dress options/tests

The-Zombie-Cat

becasue there was jsut simply far too much HYPE and I couldn't help myself lol

Estra's first run of dress design options/tests :)
D'naar loves elements out of all of them and already has several ideas on ways to combine them but also she wants the husband-to-be's opinion as well :3

    Bloody hell hun these are absolutely sensational :) gorgeous designs! D’naar really chose the best in the business didn’t she?! The colour scheme is perfect of course, and it goes together exquisitely :) I’ll keep speaking for husband to be because he’s currently gone into a clearing-his-throat frenzy and feels entirely unworthy of this incredible creature :)
    He, too, very much enjoys each of them for varying reasons but he is instinctively drawn to the one on the right. He says her hair loose like that really speaks to him, though I know that the hair and dress are interchangeable. He is deeply grateful to the nod to his feathering on that dress too, but he doesn’t want D’naar to feel overwhelmed by ‘so much darkness’ on her dress if she doesn’t like it. He’s suggesting he could possibly wear white feathers somewhere on his own outfit to compliment her.

    He believes the centre dress is more D’naar’s usual style and he wants her to be absolutely comfortable in her dress for the day and if she feels better in this centre one or the left one he has no intention of overruling her. He says he enjoys the half and half colouring of her nails on this centre one and he knows how important they both view roses so he is glad they’re included here. He’s wondering if maybe a golden rose could be added to the meeting place of the feathers on her chest on the right hand dress or if that would make it look too cluttered. She could, he reasons, wear a gold necklace with a rose pendant as another nod to their roses.

    The dress on the left he says is truly befitting of the goddess she is. He very much enjoys the cape about her arms and the whole nobility of the dress. He also enjoys her wearing something about her neck. He says her hair looks incredible however she wears it, and the subtle differences in her tiaras have not gone unnoticed.

    He says he, personally, is most drawn to the one on the right, but he is not the one who has to wear it. It needs to be what she envisions when she imagines her big day. He has given his opinions and understands and accepts the final decision is hers alone. Which does she prefer? Which one does Estra like the best?

      aw thank you dear! it was a lolt of fun to draw up and it was the best possible boost for my mood to work on it and dwell on D'naar's happy excitement :)

      eee D'naar and I are SO glad to hear he approves of the feathers because that was without a doubt D'naar's absolutely favourite thing out of all the designs! Through sketching and lining she wasn't so sure about it but the instant I colored them they were 'him' and she was -demanding- they be in the final design somewhere lol Estra thought it would be a neat addition considering he'd technically already match in with it , but she's happy to add white feathers somewhere on his suit too if he wants to go that route :)

      D'naar's insisting that any of them would be comfortable enough for her to wear and he's the one who's going to be looking at her all night so his opinion matters :) <3 but she does enjoy the styling of the middle one's top portion. Her thoughts were to take that golden sleeve wrapping around her arm and replace that with the black feathers, as well as possibly adding some to the bottom hem of that sash. overall I think D'naar was most drawn to the middle one overall because she enjoys the way the gold around the hems are designed and the style fo the top and -of course- the roses (which is another thing she was demanding be in the final design somewhere- but she was absolutely adamant about the feathers so she wants to see what adding those onto the middle design might look like :) she also really enjoys the sleeves from the third one so that'd be another thing to try out- she says especially if Gabriel's suit is still going to incorporate gloves of some kind because she feels it would match in better if her arms/hands aren't entirely bare :) <3 from the first design she, too, really enjoys the cape and the neck/chest piece (she and I are both really thrilled to see so many of the parts he enjoys line up with the things she liked lol) but she's unsure if those things can be added into the altered designs he already has in mind without making things a bit 'too much'. D'naar's always been rather simple in the way she dresses and while she wants to go a bit more than that for the special day, she also doesn't want to overdo it at the same time ^^; (and a naughty part of her is saying she doesn't want the dress to be too difficult to take off later on ;) ) but if Gabriel enjoys the idea of some kind of neck accent/accessory/jewelry I'm sure Estra can think up something that would work well with the altered design :) and oh! I forgot his note about her hair ^^; she's happy to wear it down if that was what he felt most drawn to :) it's also not something she does (leaving it loose) on a day-to-day basis so she's saying in the end that might be more special and unique for the day anyway :) though she does enjoy the first hairstyle with the braid around her horn so she might sneak in that bit if it looks alright with loose hair :) oh and the nails lol she's also happy to do the half and half/gold-tipped nails for the day :) initially they were black and white but it blended into the dress and her skin a bit too much lol

      alrighty hun thank you for your and Gabriel's input :D I'll test out a few edits and see how things go, hopefully everything can be added in in a way that doesn't make things too 'busy' ^^; but I think I can manage getting it all fit in while still looking elegant and uncluttered :) (and then once we have D'naar's dress nailed down properly Gabriel will get a few matching suit options ;) and I was also debating doodling up the bouquet design and the rings D'naar has in mind as well sometime :) )

        Oh win-win then! Getting caught up in the hype and boosting a flagging mood :) excellent to hear :)

        He’s huffing amusement to hear that she’s commissioning an outfit to match him rather than what he’s wearing. He’s suggested that the bloom on his lapel could be decorated with white feathers as a tasteful nod to Light without his feathers stealing the thunder from hers. The outfit feathers that is, he says there’s little he can do about the ones on his back ^^;

        He says she could be dressed in a hessian sack with a birds’ nest on her head and she’d still be the most desirable woman in the Triumvirate by far, so maybe his opinion shouldn’t be adhered to too strictly ;) no matter which one she wears, she’s going to have his eyes on her near-constantly ;)
        He’s nodding with big approval at the feathery tweaks to the centre dress and he agrees totally that the first thing he ever crafted for her should be rather prominent in the design, either on the dress as it is now, or as part of the rings’ design (he’s requesting if he can have his band in white-gold or silver, because it’s more his tone, but he realises that would make them asymmetrical so it may not be possible)

        He says of course the decision is hers regarding the gloves, but he’s murmuring in her ear that gloved fingers against bare skin is supposed to be rather exciting. He’s whispering that she won’t be able to keep his devilish side entirely away whilst she’s looking so phenomenal. He said that would be a level of restraint even he doesn’t possess ;) (it’s really wonderful to see them so in synch, I’d be so worried if absolutely nothing matched up!) He’s pointing out that all elements don’t have to be in one dress. He’s done some research into the mortal ceremony and found that sometimes, the bride has two gowns, one for the ceremony and the other for the social part of the evening. He’s suggesting what doesn’t make it onto one dress could still go onto a second if she found herself torn or concerned about the ‘busyness’ of the design. (She’s earned herself a deep rumble of approval there and a promise that no dress, no matter what she decides on, will keep him from his wife’s body.. Aww he had a flutter of excitement at the ‘w’ word :))

        He feels pretty unworthy to have such a sway on her dress’s look, but he is deeply pleased that she’s comfy enough to have her hair down. He finds it deeply enchanting and he can envision himself leaning his face against it whenever the opportunity affords him, hugging her from behind and just purring into her mane like a big black cat. And if she likes the braid about her horn that must be a part of it. He’s asking what she thinks of having miniature roses dotted through her hair if the design of the dress needs some room?
        (He’s rather naughtily suggested he’d like her nails to ‘blend in’ with the skin over his back..)

        You are incredibly welcome, thank you for the visual feast :) she looks mesmerising. (I also have a certain someone quietly asking if Estra’s going to do a lineup of her own outfit options. He says she’d look dazzling in golden feathers.. <3)
        Oh my gods hun that would be incredible to see Gabriel’s line up, I feel really bad not dragging myself out of my art-drought, but I think you’re the only one who could do the groom of the wedding of the year’s outfit the justice it needs :) it’ll be wonderful to see it all coming together :) eee! excite :)

          She's arguing that she sees nothing wrong with matching him though <3 plus as he says, there's nothing he can really do about the feathers on his back (not that she'd want him to ofc ^^;) so they may as well be added in as a matching feature on her dress :)

          lol well she's hoping that even if he's content with that, it might not be what he =prefers- so she's going to try to dress up just a -smidge- more than that ;)
          oh indeed, she wants to keep the veil with the roses on for certain and we're planning to keep either the ones fastening the sash or the ones at her one shoulder there, depending on how the features go in and look alongside :) as for the rings, D'naar was considering doing half and half, if that makes sense? kind of like two bands merged into one, one-half silver and one half gold ^^; but if he doesn't like that idea she's more than willing to switch it up and she'll happily go with something silver-colored for him. She's honestly not being very fussy about details she says she's going to be married to him and that's the most important thing :) <3

          She's also suggestively pointed out that skin against skin is exciting ;) (she says his devilish side has her own to contend with for the night(and forever after it too!) so she's not complaining ;) ) but she'll keep it in mind :) If the dress feels 'too busy' the sleeves aren't one of the main things she's being insistent on :)
          oh indeed that is a thought to have two dresses :) I'm not sure she'd want to bother changing though so we're going to try fitting all the elements in without making it too much ^^; she says the day is supposed to be about the two of them together, not her in a dressing closet somewhere trying to wrangle out of one dress and into another (unless ofc he wants to come help her change, she's insisting I add ;) ) aww about his excitement of the 'w' word :3 D'naar's been absolutely restlessly giddy over here calling him her fiance at every turn and every now and then she'll go into really exciting bursts about the 'h' word :3 I hope the world is prepared for how intensely excited she's going to be on the day because there'll be no calming her lol

          She's gently scolding that he needs to stop with the 'unworthy' worries- they're going to be married and everything is equal and if he likes her hair down she's happily leaving it down :) <3 and your addition there about hugging her from behind and nuzzling his face in her hair only further enforces her being more than happy to comply ;) <3 as for roses in the hair, I think that might be a touch overmuch unless I take them off the dress and veil (plus D'naar says they'd get in the way of his face-leans and she's not eager to disrupt that ;)
          (ohh naughty ;) though she's winced at the idea of -actually- scratching him so it'd have to be a light 'blending in' ^^;)

          thank you dear! and aww oh the dear <3 Estra's currently thrown herself full-force into the dress design and )if the bride and groom agree) setting them up with caterers and bakers and music bands and jewelcrafters etc.. she's really using it all as a crutch so she doesn't have to sit home alone feeling what she's feeling :/ BUT I did imagine at some point her timidly asking D'naar if Abraham's going to be there and if she hears he is she might try to rally herself into looking impressive ^^; idk if she'd go feathers though if that's what the newlyweds are going to be wearing ^^; she says it feels 'tacky' to her, at least for that day (in the future though she's happy to entertain him with the idea ;) )
          aw hun no worries I'm absolutely more than happy to draw it :) though ofc please let me know if there's anything you'd like changed once I manage :) Both Estra and I want him to look and feel wonderful for the day :) speaking of, she's assuming he'll want his fringe left loose so he doesn't feel on edge about his scars all night, but aside from that are there any hairtsyles he absolutely wouldn't go for? right now she has in mind (if I do three potential outfits like D'naar's- a long braid, a low tail tied with a ribbon, and his tri-tails except wrapped with black, white and gold instead of the circle colors? if any of those sit poorly with him let us know and Estra will give another think on it :)

            He’s murmured that she is utterly endearing, smooched her on the top of her head and sunk back again ;)

            Lol he’s lightheartedly wondering if ‘a smidge’ means adding a gold necklace to the ensemble ;) in which case he urges her to be careful about snagging the links in any wayward strands of hessian ;)
            Awww brilliant I’m glad they’ll be such a prominent feature and he’s touched that she’s kept it in mind all these years xx
            Oooh! He’s perked up at that idea, requesting the gold band and the silver band be intertwined with one another to symbolise the two of them, if that’s a possibility? And he’s gushed that her being married to him is not quite as important as him being married to her. Typical demonic one-upmanship I’m afraid even if it is sweet and playful ;)

            (More approving growls ensue here and he’s asking if brides and grooms get secret nooks at their own celebrations? ;) ) lol oh he is insisting that the chivalrous thing to do would to be escort and aid the lady in all aspects of her changing should she require it he says he realises its bad luck for him to see her in the dress, but no stipulation was made as to him seeing her out of it ;) lol I’m going to wind her tight spring even more now.. never mind ‘husband’, how about ‘baby-daddy’?! ;) lol Gabriel will adore seeing her so excited and he has absolutely no desire to quell her mood, so I think I’ll head off and warn my stable lol

            Awww I’m afraid he’s a long way from believing he’s even close to being her equal I’m afraid, but he’ll try to keep himself from straying down the path. I’m afraid he’s going to be a bit of a limpet at the reception. She might need to tell him if she needs some space. I picture him being like an affectionate raven who’s always delivering head-bumps ;) (Lol he’s conceding her very good point and adding that it won’t be becoming for the elegant UnderLord to walk around the place with a miniature rose stuck up one nostril ;) )
            (He’s promising to drive her to such intense places she’s going to have to grip him hard to hold on ;) )

            Aww that’s understandable. Only so much room in anyone’s mind at once. If it’s filled with organising things, the sadness can’t get a foothold xx aww he’s perked up to hear that she’d be asking if he was there in a favourable way and not saying ‘well if he’s there I won’t be’ and he’s muttering that he’s heard of a little private dance in which the ladies wear several feathers.. at the beginning anyway.. he said she’ll look fucking fantastic in anything.
            Aww that means a lot, thank you very much xx
            Yeah I’m afraid, as proud as he is to be there, he can’t risk someone being reminded by his scars and pointing them out and their origin to the whole gathering :/ aside from that, so long as nothings shaved, he’s fine, though he’s not AS opposed to the idea as I thought he might be so if it’s an elegant cut for example on one side or something, he’s happy. He would like to keep it mostly long if possible, but those are his only conditions. He’d probably shave his head bald in an instant if D’naar hinged she liked the look ;) nope all three of those ideas sound completely perfect to us hun :)

              oh indeed I love the idea of the two metals being intertwined that is such a sweet thought :) lol aw about his one-upsmanship lol

              they'll likely each have a dressing room of some sort where they would get dressed and ready for the ceremony ;) I'm sure everyone will notice what's up if the bride and groom disappear together for a while though XD D'naar's likely going to come back to the reception blushing with people (especially Estra lol) giving her knowing looks but she says it's entirely worth it ;)
              lol oh nooo!! I've been managing (just barely) to keep a lid on the future baby excitement since she's been so wrapped up in/distracted by the wedding but now she's on a whole new level of giddiness, what have you done!? lol

              aw well she'll keep insisting he is ^^; but aww! She'd be absolutely thrilled with all the affection and she's immediately argued that she needs no space from him whatsoever (she already had more than enough of that for several lifetimes and it was the worst <3) and aww that is such a sweet image :3 <3
              (she says as always he makes an incredibly compelling argument there ;) whilst she's also blushing up a storm ofc lol she says they'll have to see what happens in the moment ;) )

              oh indeed that's the poor girl's logic at the moment <3 though it's proving difficult for her to focus on someone else's loving relationship and happy wedding day without getting tugged in the 'jealous grief' direction it seems :/ she's doing her best <3
              aw no of course not <3 I think she would be incredibly nervous to see him but there isn't a single part of her that doesn't -want- to see him <3 and ohh I'm certain she would be very willing for that dance he's got in mind ;)

              aw of course hun <3 :)
              oh indeed I definitely can't blame the poor guy there <3 Estra knows it well enough to make arrangements around the scarring and D'naar wants to say that she entirely understands not wanting the pain of the past to be any kind of focus especially on such an important and happy day <3 She's also wanting to assure that she thinks he's still incredibly handsome even with the scarring, but she understands him not wanting it to be brought up <3 aw well Estra certainly wasn't thinking about trimming or cutting any part of his hair ^^; just working it into something 'dressy' for the occasion :) and aw the dear <3 Lucky she's not the sort to make any wild demands, I doubt there's too much he -would- deny her if she asked ^^; She's happy for him to go with whatever feels most comfortable for him, becasue she's going to be thrilled no matter what :) (though she's more than once wanted to see his hair completely loose so she can properly stroke her fingers through it, but those are usually desires that hit her in the bedroom ;)
