I think I like the black, silver and gold... and the green section the best. The green section is really pretty. It doesn't need the beads hanging off of it though. Actually all the beads can go from all the sections IMO. LOL. Less is more people. Less is more.
(Designing Daryl is the perfect example of a designer that can go "over the top" and do it "right." It's clean, streamlined, beautiful and makes sense.) That being said....
There's something really sexy to me about the look of the bottom of the white, purple and pink section. All that visible side leg. LOL.
Fringe is "in" in both the fashion and costume worlds but I'm over it. It DOES work well on the black, silver and gold section. However, that pink fringe on the black, gold and pink section... I do not like it whatsoever. The gold trim on that section should've been silver IMO especially to match the black and white pinstripe fedora. I really like the black and pink lace element of that section.
No headpiece for the red section? It does have a lot going on as it is.... So I guess that's ok.
Y'all's camera is a designer's enemy and the consumer's friend. Because when I zoomed in on the pics I could see some design flaws (extra glue, spacing on sides of the belts, visible staples in the headpieces, etc) Overall... A decent production for a smaller band. That green section really impressed me.
