Overall:
1st place: 200k -
chibi_wings (Gothic/Lolita)
I have never been a huge fan of ribbons, or the colour purple as the main colour for an outfit, but there is something about this costume that really captures my attention. I can easily imagine Viny wearing it, and it would be fun to incorporate this costume into my stories. I especially liked how the ribbons threaded with the corset. The placement of the smaller ribbons around the corset and the dress is just enough to make it unique, but not overly so to make it annoying. The rest of the design is simple and elegant. A big thanks to chibi_wings for this entry, and congratulations!

BonnieWynne (Eastern/Oriental)
While Viny doesn't really wear Eastern fashion, I can see her in this one. The patterns are very simple, and doesn't overwhelm the costume design. The colours are soft and lovely, the whole outfit really captures elegance and the spirit of autumn. Also, the little panda motif is adorable

Lady Mist (Modern)
At a glace this outfit looks down right simple, but the more I look at it, the more I like it. It makes good use of one of my favourite aspects in a costume, ruffles, but doesn't go overboard. The jacket is unique, and looks good whether you think it's connected to the top or not. Once again, this is a costume that Viny might not get to wear, but I can just see her in it.

turtletea21 (Old Fashioned/Victorian)
I think it may be the patterns, but this outfit reminds me of something right out of a Magna Carta game. The wing-like bow adds a fantasy element to the costume. It is elegant and graceful, and the colours blend in beautifully.

Kirei-Fox [Concept] (Original)
This would be the most complicated design out of all the overall winners, there are so many layers that sometimes its a little hard to tell what goes where
xd But overall I really adore this. It's unique, charming, and would suit Viny fine.

I love the richness of the colours and fabric in this costume, its like a ball dress stright out of a Pride and Prejudice movie.
biggrin Something that Viny will be forced to wear for social occasions.

This is a very sexy outfit, consisting of a two peice Qi Pao look-a-like with sleeves, and an inner semi transparent peice. Trimmed in gold and with floral patterns, it makes me wish I owned one

This outfit just screams lolita at you, from the miniture top hat, the frilly collar with bow, right down to the ribboned socks. I adore it

You can make anyone look gothic with this costume. My favourite part about this outfit is that its colourful, minimal use of the colour black while retaining its gothic influence.
Best Modern Design Costume: 30k -
Erised D. Sire
Another sexy outfit from Erised, it really matches the username
xd This peice is very daring as well, while still keeping it's elegance and style.

I can say for certain this is one outfit that Viny will never wear.
xd It's an outrageous outfit befitting the most rock-n-roll punk chicks, but I love it

It takes awhile to work out the separate layers and how it all fit together, once you do you realise how amazing it is. While it may be a little complicated, it's still delightful with fantasy and oriental elements mixed in.

This is a wonderful outfit with strong gothic/lolita elements. The contrasting colours are used together very nicely. My favourite part would be the sleeves and the green top.
