This Classic Puppets Astronomical Clock set finally went out for an outdoor shoot, and in person, it's truly as exquisite as a Black Forest little cake. The design details of the entire dress are very rich, with the black-and-white checkerboard splicing on the chest paired with golden embroidery, plus a corset-like cross-lacing design, maximizing the vintage feel. The skirt is a multi-layered tiered cake skirt style, with each layer inlaid with black lace trimming, and the fluttering black satin ribbons look particularly wonderful when walking. To support this gorgeous silhouette, a very thick petticoat was worn underneath.
The accessory matching also took a lot of thought. The diagonally worn mini black top hat on the head is the finishing touch; the lace and pearls on it echo the dress's elements very well and also flatter the facial shape. The multi-layered beaded necklace around the neck was specially matched to fill the neckline's blank space. The sleeves are black translucent dotted puff sleeves with lettuce edges, which slightly flatter the arm lines. Paired with a pair of brown vintage Mary Jane shoes on the feet with metal buckle details, the overall tone and style are very unified.
The shooting location this time was chosen at a city garden wedding photography studio, and the real-life sets here are indeed great for taking pictures. The arched dark double wooden doors and the vintage chandelier above bring an inherent sense of solemnity, making the deep blue dress look even more textured. Leaning against the wooden door or turning back with a side glance, with a slightly lazy expression, the atmosphere captured in snapshots is wonderful. The bright setup of white walls and stone pillars next to it is another style; the light hitting the body is very clean and translucent, making it very suitable for showcasing the details of the dress.
In terms of makeup, to match the overall style, the doll-like feel was heavily emphasized. Enlarging contact lenses and false eyelashes were used for the eyes, the aegyo-sal was drawn relatively prominently, and a vibrant true-red lipstick was added to brighten the complexion. The hair is specially groomed brown long curly hair, paired with blunt bangs and tied into twin tails, which not only increases hair volume but also matches the sweetness of this dress. Posing with leaning against the wall, gently holding the twin tails, and clasping hands was tried in different scenes, and the resulting photos were all very satisfactory.
