I appreciate all the input! The fresh perspective from hiatus helped me make some of the latest changes, so I really appreciate all of your critique. The winter cloak was actually part of the old outfit, and when I found the Lighted Spring Dress (released after starting hiatus), it snowballed from there to that design.
The Golden Shimmer Cape is such a great find! ? And I agree with you - it softens the shoulders but obscures the dress. A shame, as I also really like the second layer it makes over the cape.
I love your Draik too! The bright and vibrant colors really stand out! I wish I could have a bit of that energy without breaking theme. ? The combination of the wig and eyes is hilarious and creative - your Draik has such a sly face without the wig! I guess it takes that kind of personality to wear jeans under a dress haha!
I've done a bit of tweaking based off of your general advice: https://impress.openneo.net/outfits/1851269
I was thinking about switching back to the Operatic Star Gloves, but then I found the Shining Princess Gloves.
I'm also considering replacing the Sparkler. Is the Shimmery Snowflake Wand too muted?
And finally, I think necklaces might be where I want to make a contrast. The Coral Statement Necklace was one that stood out to me because it looks like additional snowflakes. I was also experimenting with gold and other complementary pieces... but do you think that the dress's collar is the necklace I should focus on?
