Love Nikki orchid dress

[tanithryudo]

OK! So I finished the Ink Orchid set required to move past Chapter 7 (and am now stopped at the suit for Chapter 8 XD). Though, I think I like the dress from Orchid's Chant better aesthetically speaking. And of course, they look even better mix-matched. ^_^



Hair/Dress from Orchid's Chant, Fan/Shoes from Ink Orchid (not that you can see the shoes). The rest of the decoration are separate from the suits.

More cosplay outfits on the Dawn Skyfire facebook account.

Items I'm currently working on...
Northern Soldier shirt/pants in order to unlock Vol.1 Chapter 7 side quest stage 3
Light Fairy suit to unlock Chapter 9
Convallaria Bud coat/dress to unlock Volum 2 Stage 1-2
Fluffy Lop suit to progress in the Dreamland:Yvette special questline
Sword Girl suit
Spring Camellia dress and coat
Polychrome dress

Your preference is obviously dictated by your distaste for Qing/Qipao-inspired clothes. XD Looking through the gallery, I think the Ink Orchid is meant to be a part of the Qipao four gentleman:
Wintersweet - Beauty in Painting
Orchid - Ink Orchid
Bamboo - Bamboo Pavilion
Chrysanthemum - Story of Shanghai

One might argue for Inked Bamboo Slip, but given that the season associated with bamboo is summer, I doubt a winter outfit had the four gentlemen association in mind.

Even the style fits the four gentlemen's supposed virtues:
Wintersweet - Pride（傲）
Orchid - Elegance（幽）
Bamboo - Culture（雅）
Chrysanthemum - Excellence（艳）

That's my reading of the situation anyway. I might be completely off base.

BTW, I love the little guzheng(?) plus the sash combo (what are they even called?!). Nicely put together. 👍
