Midnight Express Ensemble - The Meiling look

Our final entry in the BOSL Fashion Week at the Domino Effect showcase on Sunday is the Midnight Express Ensemble.
It is a sheer organza blouse with ruffled edged sleeves and a surprise peekaboo back. Paired with a gorgeous black and white gingham print skirt, it's MEILING Couture sensuality at its very best.

And you think you have trouble rezzing skirts in SL...
TRUE STORY
In the Real LIfe show, our fabulous model had to quickly change and entered the catwalk without the skirt zipped up. Being a total professional, she literally held the skirt up with the most demure smile! No one knew there was a wardrobe malfuntion!
