Hi All I apologise upfront if this is not the right sort of question to be asking on this forum, but not sure where to post it if not! I am going to a sl wedding on Friday and I am looking for a really classy outfit/dress  I feel as though I have shopped the length and breadth of sl as it is so I am in need of a little bit of inspiration! So I would be grateful if you could give me some suggestions on where I could try.... TIA BB x

Blaze and Shiny Things are 2 of my favorites.

If you're looking for a nice, formal gown go take a look at the Vale Boutique Village http://slurl.com/secondlife/Aftershock/113.203/32.2358http://www.slexchange.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=225982Blaze are ok, but I once visited blaze and discovered the owner beating orphans and drowning kittens, do you really want to support that sort of thing?  Vale P.S. But seriously, I've got one nice gown up so far, blaze is the place to go for loads of nice gowns to chose from.

Nicky Ree does beautiful formals that usually come with a few different skirt options to adjust the level of formality. Whew, that was a mouthfull! Try also Dazzle (a bit more affordable)

IM me in game, I just made a formal for a friend's wedding last week. Gold strapless with full length gloves and gold lace prim flexi mermaid skirt. Actually, maybe I can send you a pic 2nite. If you like, you could "borrow" it. lol

~Ari If the worst happens you can always do what I do, all of my clothes are tested on sleeping campers. What I do is sneak into crowded clubs and casinos, find the campers and put dresses on them. The fun things about camping zombies is you can't wake them up, so I like to poke them in the eyes and draw on their faces with crayons too  Vale

Vale Well, I was alive and in Dallas on that day and I can vouch that they weren't there.... but there is a persistent rumor that someone fitting your description was seen in a grassy knoll, behind some bushes, near a certain schoolbook depository

And besides, if I had shot him with my push gun he would have just ended up unharmed in another sim. Vale

Suley's Silks. Rats, I have the name wrong. Maybe it's Sulkey's Silks. Or Sulkies? Sukey's? *laughs* Do a search on "silks" and she's in the top half of the first page. One of those designers who no one knows but who makes fabulous dresses. Don't let the silk in the name fool you.
