Luivia was the grateful recipient of a PAX East mount code through a friend of the blog, Casual Stroll to Mordor. The challenge of course was to find an outfit for her to use for riding, and it was a challenge. The difficulty for me lay in the mix of colors; the horse is a creamy blonde but the mane is grey while the tack is red, pure white, and blue.
My first attempt was simply dying red her starting female hobbit outfit of shirt and leggings. It almost worked, but the red was too bright. I went through everything in the wardrobe (Gelmirian has amassed quite a selection that somehow magically alters size when Luivia takes it out . . . can we get one of these magic wardrobes in real life?). I used the dressing room to check what various pieces would like in the red and blue dye families. I finally found that the simple hooded cloak in navy didn't clash with the blue on the tack. And then I clicked on the white ceremonial dress. It worked. White with red accents cloaked in blue.
Full Details:
Dress: Ceremonial Dress
non-dyable white cosmetic item, summer festival barter item, no min. level required
Back: Hooded Traveling Cloak (navy)
cosmetic item available at all outfitters, no min. level required
This is a beautiful dress, particularly for those with blue eyes. I expected to use a different cloak since the golds are of different tone, but the navy pieces went so well together that I really like the flow of the outfit. In the picture below, you can see how in the right light, the gold bands on the sleeves actually match the cloak.
