I'm a little afraid of this dress.
It makes me think of the Headless Horseman. Like, her torso is a spindly wood after dark, and someone is going to ride through it with his decapitated head on a saddle just to freak out some weary travelers with the mess and pernicious smell. And, relatedly, the dress also makes me think of creeping rot. All of these are words a lady dreams of having written underneath her picture someday.
Alice's dress is less elaborate:
But there are still designer creepers -- these look like dark fire lapping at her chest. But the overall effect is somewhat inexpensive, no? Especially with those shoes. I can't decide which is worse: expensive decay, or cheap torso arson.
