A black ribbon bow is visible just below the neckline, and her waist is cinched by a silver chain belt with a silver-inlaid pearl and red roses. A detached black silk choker adorned with red roses and a white crystal circles her throat. Red roses encircle her arms, and she wears semitransparent black gloves. A black ring is visible on her left ring finger. Ada also wears black fishnet leggings over torn, lace black pantyhose with a black garter, and black high heels adorned with red roses. She also wears black diamond earrings. A black silk tiara adorned with gilded black crystals and prongs topped with black diamonds perches atop her hair, to which a floaty black Juliet's cap veil adorned with dangly black diamonds and red roses is pinned.

## Concept / Design Notes

### Concept Notes

For the couple in the manor, the "Psychologist" and Patient, we hoped to design a couples costume for them during the QiXi Festival.

So far, they have worn medical uniforms and bondage outfits with their own stories, acted as a noblewoman and a fallen king, and played tragic lovers who will never change until death... in each of the different stories, "love" is the key word. So we chose to make a wedding outfit unique to them.

We hope that the costumes not only pursues individuality and beauty, but also has a setting that fits the background of their story. The second key word for the "Psychologist" and Patient is "salvation". The researcher who was obsessed with experiment and gradually became paranoid finally broke through her self-imprisonment; the patient with amnesia who was struggling in the abyss gained a new life after being treated as a "human being". So far, the two have had a happy ending, like a fairy tale, but it's not a romantic fairy tale with princes and princesses, but one with a witch with a long lifespan, who accidentally 'woke' to life by a human being who came unexpectedly in her years of loneliness. Maybe the night never ends, but at least she has this starlit moment passing by.

As a wedding outfit, this costume uses a black long train, a sexy wedding dress, and a handsome and capable waistcoat with shorts. The two still wear wire rings on their hands, symbolizing the agreement that has been engraved into their lives and become a part of themselves. The showroom animation also designed an evenly matched interaction between the two. The "Psychologist" is glamorous and powerful, and the Patient's actions were more energetic, showing a "double edged" relationship between them.

### Initial Sketches

This time, the theme of the setting is sexy and powerful, with witch elements and dark night-style black wedding outfits; the first version has less witch elements, more conservative styles, and is more biased towards dresses.

The follow-up is dominated by black tones, supplemented by rose and thorn patterns as embellishments, the dress is made shorter, and the veil is added.

Based on the first draft, we optimized and improved the silhouette of the head wear, optimized the hands and legs of the costume, and darkened the colors.

Final product.

### Costume Details

1. The wedding veil is decorated with black gemstones, and the spiky design is full of danger.
2. Her face is exquisite, the eye shadows are like broken stars, her rose-shaped eyes narrowed slightly.
3. Long black nails are in line with her witch status and mysterious and noble temperament.
4. The complicated hem of the skirt is exquisite and solemn, and is also designed with thorn like spikes, which makes the overall costume unified.

### Showroom Notes

Emerging from the thick night and shining constellations behind her, she floated mid-air, lighting clusters of flames with her fingertips. The flames flickered dimly in blue and purple in the dark.

Surrounded by candles, under the falling rose petals, she dances with her lover. As soon as the dance was over, Emil passionately but with restraint placed a kiss on the back of her hand.

Among the twinkling constellations, two flying roses and butterflies flew by. The brilliant light of the roses surrounded her, and left with the broken stars...

### Costume Effects

The rose petals around her fluttered down with her movements, and white light flashed around her from time to time, highlighting the sense of romance and magic.
