Another great frankenmesh from LizCrea, starting with my little activity.
The mesh was based on the Bloom multi alpha dress, which you can find in its original form on the Insimmenator.
Sussi has a body shape with sexy feet and lots of alpha.
We combined this with one of Peggy’s ruffled clothes, which was originally a very thin-slender body shape.
LizCrea made two versions of it - both barefoot.
Until there is a shoe version, I recommend adding Bloom acc slippers. (Also Insimmenator)
The red silk and lace textures were inspired by LizCrea “Radda the moldovan gipsy queen” collection.
The black-red symbolizes the gypsies in Spain, while the colorful-floral version is a bit Hungarian.
The blue and white version shows a other usability of the mesh. This is maybe victorian underwear.
For the jewelry, I used our previously shared crown mesh, as well as Peggy’s well-known necklace mesh and Aikea Guinea men’s bracelets, which I converted to unisex with the help of SimPe.

Enjoy! :)
I think people know little about gypsy culture and lifestyle.
"Oh, gypsies are very free souls, bohemian people. Colorful clothes, shawls, glittering gold jewelry, dancing, music, passionate temperament, etc."
The origins of the words "bohemian" and "boho" are also interesting.
Bohemian - French: Bohéme (irresponsible <nomadic gypsy)
Bohemian or Duchy of Bohemia (Czech Republic, because gypsies came to France from here)
Latin: Boiohaemum (name of the territory of today's Czech Republic) <Celtic: boii (tribal name; "warrior") + Haimaz (home)
In this piece of our jewelry work, in which my co-creator was Mayaram, we wanted to introduce you to a lovely gypsy tradition.
Gypsy girls are married relatively quickly, although today early weddings are not necessarily followed by traditional female destiny. After the wedding, the young people continue their studies and when the time comes, the marriage also “takes the stage”.
The gypsy bride receives a crown-like headdress on the day of her wedding, mostly from her godfather, but only if she is still a virgin.
These wedding jewelry are made of expensive materials for affluent gypsy families. But whatever the financial situation of a gypsy family, the sacred of tradition and the treasure of the family, the "pure" girl with a crown on her head goes before an altar.
For the crowns, we made new meshes with Mayaram, which can of course be used for other purposes as well.
To design them, we looked through countless photos to make the finished work as authentic as possible.
The wedding coronation probably stems from the Orthodox Christian custom, which is known to favor medieval, Byzantine appearances.
The hanging ornaments on our crowns, above the forehead and on both sides of the head, also suggest this.
We basically made 5 sets, complete with a necklace, which, however, can be changed with the alpha editing of the mesh.
I hope you find joy in this little glitter.
