The Ophelia dress will always be a favorite of mine because it was the very first apparel item I designed! The print gives off dark vibes with its twisting gold snakes and delicate chrysanthemum flowers. I always like to add something unexpected in my designs, so if you look closely, you'll notice that some of the snakes have two heads. A fun little oddity!
I love wrap dresses like this because they are so flattering, cinching at the waist. I added whimsical flutter sleeves to give it a dreamy look.
For this dress, I highly recommend double checking the size chart and sizing up if you want more coverage on top. This was my first design and I went a little too small on the measurements, I admit. If you normally wear a M, for example, you might want a L in this dress.
While this dress is easy to dress up (I've even had a customer purchase it for a wedding guest outfit!), I wanted to do a casual, edgy look. Style is all about the accessories. See the list below for all the detes!
P.S. Please ignore the fact that I have like one pose and it revolves around showing off my hand tattoo 😳

Makeup Details
Last weekend I had my makeup professionally done for the first time, for a wedding I was a bridesmaid in. Normally I wear a very minimal look, but seeing what it could be completely changed my outlook on makeup! I have felt so inspired to try fun, new looks and, seeing what they can do, I feel like makeup is another accessory that can completely upgrade a look.
I asked my makeup artist 100 questions to try to learn from her while I was there! One of the things she said that's stuck with me is that eyeshadow is all about the blending.

It's been so long since I've written a fashion blog post! I wanted to revive the Ectogasm blog as a fun way to share my style. Alternative fashion is my passion because it centers around expressing yourself creatively and being unique, non-conformist, and bold.
