This is from the same site. I guess they knew what they were doing, posting in this thread, huh?!

A moderator explanation of what the last three posts refer to: The vendor in question has not to my knowledge saturated the forum with advertising and may have made an honest mistake in posting her advertisement here. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and moved her post to marketing instead of eliminating it as spam.

Carry on. I will be gone tomorrow at noon and will remain gone for a couple of weeks. Report problems to Amulya or one of the supermoderators. I expect dozens of exciting UBDCs to look at when I get back. Thanks. Shanazel

I'm not a fan of orange and black (it means either Halloween or Natrona County HIgh School to me). Even so, the costume could be improved as you suggest, though to be satisfied I'd need to get rid of the narrowed eye illusion of the gold fringe on the bra.
Orange and black is an odd thing for me, I've seen a couple of costumes that I loved that were orange and black, but most are fairly hideous and evoke the whole Halloween thing. This one does that for me.

I don't know if removing the heavy V fringe would save it. I think the skirt for me is an odd idea, that without all the heavy beading might actually work. Maybe some light beading on a mostly velvet base with the chiffon panels attached under the beading.

As far as the bra, I wonder if the slitted 'eye' effect isn't subliminal with the Halloween theme... OOOOOoooooOOOOOooooOOOO

I leave for Kentucky via Wisconsin as soon as I get the horse to pasture at lunchtime. I am always so nervous before setting out on a trip that it is a wondr I ever go anywhere. See you when I get back.

I find this really weird:

this kind of thing seems to be right in fashion:

this is a real 'what were they thinking' moment:

the yellow and blue was quite pretty except for the floating boob cover look. The last one is giving me nightmares - even now whilst I'm still awake!!

The designer must've been thinking of something else all together while she (or he) sewed on beads and gewgaws. Can you imagine her horror upon realizing what her hands had done while she was daydreaming?
