Letting Go: Character Fashion

May 09, 2012 20:39

Dresses and accessories for characters of 'Letting Go' - no final decisions yet, so feel free to leave comments and/or suggestions. In my story, the QI Gala is the biggest event QI hosts each year. It's attended by shareholders and foreign investors as well as local celebrities and many of L.A.'s glitterati, so it's very fashion forward. Chloe's ( Read more... )

That red one for Lois an QI Gala (dress 3) iz amazing...

The red one for Lois - the birthday party dress? Yeah, I love that one and with her figure I think it would look amazing on her. I've looked at so many dresses lately, they're all running together in my head a little lol.

Wow, I absolutely love Chloe's birthday dress #2! :) But then again I like QI Gala Chloe's dress number 3,which is also midnight blue. And the gold one, number 2, is beautiful. I think it looks exactly like the thingAshlyn would create.
Ashlyn would look gorgeous in dress 2 or 3, I'm for the 3rd one.
Lanie - 1 or 3
Oh, and I can't even decide which one suits Lo better! They're amazing. I'd say the 1st one or the second.

Yeah, I was leaning toward QI Gala dress 1 or 2 for Chloe, mostly because I want her to have a 'Wow' factor - the gold would look amazing on her. And I liked the first one b/c it reminds me a little of a dress I wore to a charity gala several years ago - and my grandmother had some gorgeous yellow sapphire and diamond jewelry she used to wear to evening out events, so I thought that Oliver could let Chloe wear his mother's pieces in the story. I still have to look for more accessories though. If you like the midnight blue, you like this one ( ... )

Yeah, I LOVE this dress! It's amazing.
I like your idea about Ollie giving Chloe his mother's diamonds.
Hahaha)))About that red dress. I've just sent you a message at FF.net - the dress is great and I love it, but you're right, it's not something Chloe would wear. It's more like Lois's choice.

Ok for Chloe ball's dress I like either 1 or 3 with 3 wining out and for Lois the Red poof dress is amazing. Good job sourcing all the clothes!

Thanks! It was harder than I thought it would be actually lol. I plan to choose Chloe's dress first, and I'm also leaning toward 1 and 3 - after that, the dresses can really be switched around however I like. I love dress 3, but the only reason I'm leaning toward 1 is because it's a bit fuller like a ballgown, and I love the idea of putting the yellow sapphires and diamonds with it. Plus, one of the options for Chloe's birthday dress is similar to dress 3, same collection and designer.

And I LOVE that red dress - definitely more a Lois dress than a Chloe dress. Thanks for taking the time to look and weigh in, and if you have anymore thoughts let me know. I'm trying to decide the b'day party dresses right now b/c that chapter comes first, followed by the gala chapter.

I love no 43.... but it might not be in line with what you're trying to do with Chloe. The ring at least would still go with the dress. The link though has another couture houses attached to it. Including the designer for Dress no 1 if your still looking

For the bday dress I'm going to have to go with No 1 on your list.

I also like no 33 & 35 of the above

poetgirl925 June 3 2012, 18:39:44 UTC

I actually love both 42 and 43... maybe 43 more. That fabric is gorgeous - a definite contender, so thanks. You know, you're the first person to mention Chloe's b'day dress #1 - I loved it and I thought it looked very like something Chloe might wear - slightly retro, but sophisticated and sexy, and that fits with her character growing up a bit in the story as well. I'll take a look at the other designs also, so thanks for including the links!

All these dresses you picked are gorgeous. My favourites:

QI Gala - Chloe - Dress #2 is amazing and it would look so good on Chloe. I love how the top part is fitted and the design is beautiful. Also I adore dress #1. But I'm still going with #2.
QI Gala - Ashlyn - hmm I can't really decide between #2 & #3 they're both gorgeous....Okay definitely #2
QI Gala - Lanie - #1 and #3 are so pretty, so since I went with purple for Ashyln I'm gonna go with #3 here.
QI Gala - Lois - Dress #2 is soooo cute but I think #1 would suit her very well.

Chloe's B-Day - Chloe - Dress #1 is really pretty. The design reminds me a bit of the dress she wore at the beginning of the episode 'Fortune'
Chloe's B-Day - Ashlyn - Dress #1 is GEORGEOUS! I really love that one.
Chloe's B-Day - Lois - Dress #2, the design is very nice.
Chloe's B-Day - Lanie - Dress #3 is too cute

Wow that took me longer than I thought it would, it was so difficult choosing because all of these dresses are amazing. Thanks for taking the time to do this :D

Narrowing down my list took me ages! And by the time I made my list, my head was swimming with so many dresses I couldn't make a decision lol. I have an idea of what Ashlyn's designs look like, so that also limited what I was looking at. I see her designs as being very pretty and feminine with a few bold pieces thrown in, and I wanted some of them to be reminiscent of the flower photos that I described in the chapter when Chloe and Lanie visited Ashlyn's boutique.

Anyway, thanks so much for giving me your opinion! I'll have to narrow down the birthday dresses soon b/c that chapter comes first followed by the gala chapter. Hopefully, everyone will be happy with the final choices. :)

QI Gala - Chloe - Dress 1 - is spectacular, I love to see Oliver's reaction when he sees Chloe in that dress, lol (that dress is gorgeous)and for Chloe's b-day I would prefer that she wore the red dress but what really prefer is that Chloe and Oliver have their passionate moment soon :)
Thank you for documenting this story as well and thanks for keeping Chlollie alive with your stories!!!

poetgirl925 August 17 2013, 16:05:32 UTC

I love dress 1 too - that's the one I'm leaning toward at the moment. Whichever one I don't use in Letting Go I'll probably use for an event I have planned in If You Want Me. So it's like that both 1 and 3 will be used in a story since they're my faves. The red dress is gorgeous, but I was looking for something that would showcase the birthday present Oliver is going to give Chloe in the next chapter. The red dress just didn't fit with what I have in mind. Thanks for your comments! More coming soon :)
