'''Description:''' As far as the [[Kurathene]] classic is concerned, this garment only borrows the many-layered floor-length skirt. It is built on a foundation of tenebrous green silk canvas with a guipure lace overlay in black. The top would be risqué even for someone of humble chest prominence, let alone Alaria's bodily extremities. It is, in essence, comprised of two strips of glossy black organza reaching down from each shoulder. Common sense suggests they remain in place thanks to a leather strap attachment or a skin-friendly adhesive but if anyone has come close enough to tell, they have not shared.
