This my friends is the rather snazzy group gift from Pixel Dolls.
It’s a lovely dress called ‘Chess’, which really isn’t my kind of thing at all, BUT, as Pete Tong might say, “Oooh, that works”. It does indeed actually; the gift is called ‘Midnight’ and is a blue and black off the shoulder frock-affair. It features all the usual quality traits that you’d expect from Pixel Dolls, like a great texture when you zoom in, but I really love the fluid feeling that you get from the organza/fishnet trimmings that haphazardly fall from under the skirt. The straps don’t *quite* work as well as I’d like, but hey that’s a minor issue…I want a dress to look very good when I wear it, and ‘Chess’ does that very well indeed.

Like I said previously this really isn’t my thing at all ( I very nearly didn’t even try it on) but when you add my current skin du jour from Curio, and the hair that I just cannot stop wearing at the moment, Dana by Zero Style, then you have a look just the right side of 1980’s sleazy. In fact it would lend itself to an 80’s disco theme very well, replete with New Romantic make up and fingerless lace gloves, don’t you think?
Pop over to Pixel Dolls and you’ll find ‘Chess’ available in a variety of fruity colourways..or you could always cheat and join the group and check out the notices..AHEM. I’d rather you poddled over and bought one though, PD is a constant on the grid and has been churning out affordable fashion pieces for a long time now, and it deserves your support. Incidentally..for the photo I was trying to make the picture look like a sleazy late 1970’s movie poster..you know the kind of thing that would have Mary Millington starring in it, or such-like..
Since putting this on I’ve been inclined towards singing ‘One Night in Bangkok’ by Murray Head, from the musical ‘Chess’..cracking song that…hence the title of the post.
So there you have it, Chess by Pixel Dolls. Kitty *LIKE*
