Latin Dancesport Costume: Reaper

Also an example of why I DON'T usually attempt digital art.

So, yeah. Basically this means I'm finally back on the floor and being asked when I want to compete again, so I need a dress. I like the long, slimline Latin costumes that are popping up lately much more than the traditional skimpy slutty latin costumes that dominate the floor, so I decided to go with this. AND best thing is that this design will also be wonderful for a formal dress. Ah, gotta love versatility.

Such a shame it won't look too good on me.

Anyway: White stretch satin, black stretch satin and black lace, with red and black diamantes, sequins, and possibly beading, if I feel like punishing myself. Gathered sides and Shoulder, side zip, split mid-thigh-high seam, usual reinforcements aka dancesport, or not for a formal dress.

Also, Reaper as in Grim. Not Reaper as in Sovereign or Harbinger.
