I posted this in my blog before I was talked into reposting my works in the main fiction section. The original of this image was done similar to the early 246 color gif images. This go-round I upped the colors to 16 million, added some shading to the outfit, redid the text and title, and used png as it retains image quality better than jpg for high colors.
I'd love to wear an outfit like this as a costume. The closest I've come is a few gowns my sister and mom had and an Easter outfit ... but that one is a whole other story. ^^;;; I've also worn bloomers once. They were ankle length and ruffled, made of a thick white satin. Yes, they were the inspiration for Chris' bloomers in the pic above.
