Fashion Foward: (Yuli) & ANA_Mations

Sexy & Chic is in full swing at Yuli Orman's fashion store, Yuli! Three years into SL designing, Orman continues to create both classy and playful ensembles with scripted accessories and sculpty objects. A mixture of Yuli's pieces have been selected for review below:

Outfit one, Cassie Pleated Dress in black & pink

Party time!! At least look the part with this hot mini pleated dress. Cassie comes with one sheer & one solid version. Not only does the majority of Yuli's outfits come in multiple colors, they also come in multiple layer options - yay for choices! The skirt is sculpted and scripted for resizing.

Also shown:
Handbag 70 by (Yuli), an entirely customizable/scripted purse to change the size and color of it. Great texturized accessory.

Outfit two, Alyssa Chic & Sexy Dress in black & wine

Cassie's 'party pretty' friend is Alyssa. This dress is cinched along the middle of the frontside of the body, drawing the eyes in and down the vertical line. This dynamic piece also comes with ruffles and straps across a slightly exposed upper back. The textures and seam lines match and smooth out nicely. Alyssa comes in a jacket & pant layer only. A scripted beaded necklace is also included.

Outfit three, Jeanne Lace Gown & Lingerie in sand

Class it up with Jeanne. This multi-purpose ensemble is perfect for a romantic evening. Options are plentiful in layers and how you prefer your gown: strapless or with straps. Three flexi skirts are included, too: long, medium & mini. A neck ruffle, long gloves and thigh-high stockings are the accessories included - allowing you control over how much, or how little, you want to wear.


The overall textures of this outfit are of great quality - zoomed in closely or not. I give this outfit a high thumbs up for an overall must buy!

*Last but certainly not least!*
Outfit four, Alma Stripper Dress in black



Yes! The name says it all! Alma is a teaser for the teases in Second Life! This 3 part outfit makes stripping much easier - everything is there for you (or someone else) to peel away piece by piece. Start with one strap, remove your skirt and then as things heat up - take off the other strap - then shed the dress all together to be just in your panties without ever having to worry about putting on something to conpensate what you wish you could do before! Alma is not only a fantastic idea, but Alma is a great deal. Alma comes in every layer possible and in several colors. Yuli has graciously included a scripted necklace, earrings and bracelet set. Alma is another must-have in any dancer or teases naughty closet!

Wasted Youth

Only 3 months into the virtual world of fashion design, Kendall Freenote is creating a variety of SL apparel ranging from uptown chic to punk rock glam to sweetheart casuals and back again. Here are a *few* designs by Kendall, available in her store, up for review:

Part One, High Waist Studded Skirt

The high waist studded skirt is patterned with silver metallic triangles. The mauve-like color is the undertone color featuring an elastic type waistband. Like the texture, the cuts of the skirt are decent. This skirt comes in a Jacket & Pant layer, with a modifiable prim attachment for the bottom-half of the short lengthed skirt. This would be great to pair with one of Freenote's many blazers, but being that it is only a Jacket layer for either - it is not yet possible.

Neglige by Urbanity
Boots by Adam n Eve, Tia

Part Two,Times Square Jacket

Tricky, that's what this texture is. It may appear a bit pixelated, but then again its a certain type of material the texture is portraying - a fuzzy, cotton wool type. Shadows are plentiful in this piece, giving a layered put-together look. The sleeves are manually modifiable sculpties & the blazer itself is only available in a jacket layer. The backside of this blazer is very interesting as in the darkened detail lined down the spine from neck to tail. This centers the focus inward, thinning the shape of the avatar.

Hair by Truth
Gloves by Emery
Panties by Mai, in-store gift, 0L

Part Three, Vintage Rose Dress

I love vintage pieces! This near rustic-textured piece is very feminine while paying homage to a style not always seen in SL fashion while still keeping it modern & flirty. The off the shoulder short dress comes in both Jacket/Shirt & Pant layers. The skirt is sculpted & modifiable. Though pretty to the eye, there are a few flaws with this particular dress. It's difficult to resize the sculpted skirt with the belt attached to it: If you downsize too much, part of the belt gets lost in the avatar's body; If you expand, you risk having the belt too loose with parts of the sculpted skirt showing in either the front or back (bottom right). Last part may not be a big deal to some; however, there is extra shadowing along the top of the outfit.
