Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting the Helping Haven Gateway, which is a wonderful resource for anyone who is getting started or restarted in SL as well as just a pleasant place to visit :) I occasionally see people in various group chats who've been away from SL for a few years and came back to a whole new world, no idea about mesh bodies or BOM or now PBR, and HHG has all sorts of helpful info along with the free gifts I'll be showing you tonight. The ladies' gift building has 4 floors full of goodies, no group required, and there is a men's building and a home decor area as well, so anyone can find things they need here. Some of the clothing is for classic avatars (standard mesh sizes) but others include sizes for mesh bodies too. I went up to the 3rd floor, which we would call the 4th floor in my neck of the woods, so up 3 flights of stairs to pick up all the goodies you're about to see. I offer my deepest gratitude as always for those designers who offer free gifts to help make SL a more affordable and happy place to be.
My first look is the striking -siss boom-fy nyth black dress, one of several gifts they're offering here. This long sleeved denim dress is embroidered on the upper bodice and both sleeves, with even some trim at the short hemline. We receive sizes for eBody Curvy, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh bodies, all entirely for free.
Another of their gifts that I just *had* to show you is the -siss boom-salem denim gown, and yes I am rather addicted to denim ;) It has a corset style bodice that is laced in the back, with full skirt that looks fantastic when we're walking too. There is a standard fitted size for classic avatars, as well as sizing for Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP bodies. Included but not shown is a golden flexi skirt that gives even more fullness and movement, and matches the gold overlay you see on this mesh skirt.
On the same wall as those gifts, you can find several from Emerald Couture, all of which you will need to right click and pay $1L but it'll be refunded automatically while the gift is delivered to you. This keeps a record so you can have it redelivered in the future if you ever need to :) The EC Chanda Outfit Peach is a mini dress with bold print, plus well coordinated shoes because footwear can really help elevate any look. The dress comes in standard mesh sizes along with Freya, Isis, Venus, Legacy, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP versions. Then our shoes fit Belleza, Legacy, Maitreya, and Slink feet.
Another generous gift of theirs is this gorgeous EC Abigail Dress Blue. It's a soft powdery pastel shade that I adore, and the way the ruffled sleeves drape across the upper arms is just delightful. The dress fits Freya, Hourglass, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, with a bonus of matching shoes in sizing for Belleza, Legacy, Maitreya, and Slink feet. So pretty, and I really like the subtle floral pattern on our dress.
My final look of the evening is our EC Chaina Dress Black v2 which is another treat from Emerald Couture. The gold design on the fabric reminds me of when you blow out a birthday candle and the smoke billows up in tiny plumes, but a bit more defined so perhaps more like fireworks? We receive standard mesh sizes as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine mesh body sizes of this sexy strapless mini.
Did everyone have a nice weekend? Mine was decent, but somehow exhausting since I'm still getting over this cold or whatever I've got going on here. The little things are tiring me out, so I wonder if my sleep is not restful enough if that makes sense. I hope you're all having a lovely day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
