If, like me, you are pleased with this year's fashion trend, in both RL and SL, of higher waist lines, then you'll be very happy with the latest offering from Ducknipple. Hopefully this stylistic rejection of butt cleavage stays with us and we'll no longer have to look at people's underthings every time they bend down to pick up that quarter they dropped in the grocery line.

New are 8 versions of the cocktail dress, complete with a sculpty skirt and belt. They are wonderfully airy and summery, perfect for that trip to the seashore or a quaint old European town. As is the usual for Ducknipple, the detail is marvelous, with stitching, seams and fine folds all apparent and nice detail in the belts. They are L$175 each, or the 8 set fat pack, which I bought, goes for the bargain price of L$500.

My favourite, shown above, is the cherry set.

The red plaid set is also quite nice. Check out all the colours in store. Now, like a lot of new sculpty clothes they do require some adjustment for best fit and the sculpty parts interfere with some animations, but these are well worth it.

Also new to me are the December Glasses No.49. They have scripted colur change for frames and lenses (shown here in wine with clear lenses), adjustable positions and bling should one still desire bling effects. Available for L$300.

First 2 shots taken in Luxembourg City, a lovely sim recreating the old fortress city.
