In today's installment of Frightful Frocks, we have a vampire aristocrat. I wasn't sure where to go with this so I through the term "aristocrat fashion" into Google and apparently, "aristocrat" is a whole subgenre of Lolita. That didn't really help me much. There was, however, a picture that popped up of a German aristocratic lady.
The sleeves on this are just excellent. And the colors are great! This became the jumping off point for my outfit. I thought a bit about what an immortal vampire lady of fashionable taste would wear - maybe she would keep her favorites around for centuries!

I liked the huge, gathered sleeves but I toned it down a bit. A jaunty hat (and a face with tiny fangs!), two skirts, and our vampire is ready for the 15th century or the 21st! I'm not crazy about how the shoes on the short skirt came out - they're a bit goofy.
Rachel has her take on Vampire Aristocrat and it's terrific! Her outfit definitely taps into that Lolita vibe. She's including a poem every day which gives her set a nice storybook quality.
We're posting these all the way up to Halloween, so check back every day for more!
