An Obsession with Solange

Solange Cerveau is an expert seamstress, crafting silks, dresses and lingerie with exquisite attention to detail. A recent release is her ‘Obsession’ ensemble, which is technically lingerie, but I still reckon I could pass this off as a dress when the weather gets a little warmer. Oh how I’ll try.
Obsession comes with several pieces so you can create your own style. The strapless bra comes in both a modest silk and sheer lace version: the cups are precisely trimmed with lace to soften the plunging line, and have an optional ribbon tie to the centre, composed from a floppy bow festooned with lace.
The button-back corset is panelled, sections of ribbed cloth sandwiched by those bearing swirling patterns, the lower edge trimmed with lace. Another version of the corset is included which is a darker, solid colour throughout; both can be worn without the bra top if you care to bare a little more.
Arm ruffles come with both sets for something a little extra; the lace is cut ragged and bunched up for more weight, tied to the top with contrasting ribbon. These are ever so pretty and can also be matched with other sets you might already own.
I should point out here the texturing on the lacework. You can’t help 
but appreciate and indeed admire the work here, evident all over, but most prominently on the belted mini skirt. Swollen bands hold this across the hips, dipping centrally to the front and back in Solange’s signature style. The lacework is meticulous and the skirt panels set for a smooth, swirling motion on movement.
If you can bear to strip down, you won’t be disappointed with the thong either. Again you’ll find both sheer lace and opaque silk in the pack, with lines to match the skirt. The side straps are thick enough for the lace to be seen, scalloped edges providing a rounded finish.
As if this wasn’t enough to get you over to the store, it’s also worth noting that Solange is currently running a hunt for freebies on the sim, which have so far included two cami sets, some silks, earrings, a bracelet and an oversized chequered shirt – the kind you steal from your boyfriend to wrap up in. They’re only available for a short period of time, so make sure you run along to Solange and get your Christmas goodies.
Obsession (shown in Champagne and in Black) $350L per colour
