Styling Goddess Apparel Part 2 of 4 “Party Gowns”
I have a major soft spot for beautiful, well made, romantic designs. When I found Athene Forder’s shop, *Goddess Apparel* I fell in love. She has a wide variety of styles but you can see her hand in all of them. There are many period style clothing, some silks, several masks, formal wear and even some casual clothing. Her styles are very feminine and the textures she uses are very unique to many I’ve seen in SL. She also has gift certificates available for purchase if you wish to give a great gift to your friend or loved one.
A couple of weeks ago I was in her shop looking around and started chatting with her. I was interested in blogging her so she told me to pick out a few items and she would send them to me. Well…the very generous woman ended up sending me more than I even asked for. So I’ve been blogging the outfits in separate posts. You can view my first post on my personal blog here: https://kikiwithatwist.wordpress.com/2011/01/05/styling-goddess-apparel-part-1-or-4-period-clothing/. If you have not seen it, the first post was about 3 period type dresses. This second post I’m calling the “Party Gowns”. Whether you’re headed out for a cocktail party, black tie event, dinner party or even a Mardi Gras party, you can find something to wear in her shop!
So with that being said, I bring you three little beauties:

Styling Goddess Apparel Part 1 or 4 “Period Clothing”
There are so very many wonderful designers and shops in SL that I keep running across that are new to me. A couple of days ago I found “Goddess Apparel”, by owner and designer Athene Forder. She has a beautiful style and brings it across in many different period dresses as well as things you could wear in modern days. She creates gowns, casual clothing, silks, and masks too! All her items are no copy/transfer so you can easily give them as a gift. And all prim & sculpted parts are modifiable for easy fitting. Please take the time to visit her shop to see what all she has. I’ll be posting 4 different posts in total to cover the different outfits she so very kindly sent to me! Thank you so much Athene!! So, lets get started with our taste of her Period clothing.
You can find her Mainstore here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Newport%20Keys/203/203/24

Styling “Guinevere” called for some Guinevere hair! And I used my new skin I bought from Gala Phoenix of Curio! This gorgeous gown had so many color options I couldn’t decide. I am showing Cream & Blue, but you can also choose from7 other options: Blue, Cream & Lilac, Cream & Maroon, Gold, Green, Lilac & Maroon. Not only does it have color options but three different skirt options (including the train pictured in the bottom photo) and long sleeves with prim pieces for the upper arms, or the beautiful sleeveless option shown with the train photo.
