Dress to Impress - Wicca's Wardrobe @ Penumbra and Mr. X

Momentous occasions call for raiment... dignified and majestic. At Penumbra's Fashion Show featuring the exclusive designs by Wicca Merlin, Mr. X choose an elegant gown called Acantha.

Like the thorny nymph loved by the sun god Apollo, I wear this stunning gown. Acantha falls and swirls in a double thick velvet cascading skirt of plush black and deep garnet, beautifully tailored with a generous drape at the waist.

The bustier of this ensemble is flex-boned for fit and the 16th century inspired Elizabethan high collar along with the cross embellished top hat is irrisistably Gothic.

It is dusk, the hour when dark and light are difficult to measure and when all things are possible. The scent of mint is in the air. I can hear the doves calling. On the breeze, I smell the scent of far- away lands, where fields are always green and the acantha trees grow.
