This was at the bottom of my 'to do' pile for a long time. After noticing an influx of Aerith cosplayers, I said 'to heck with it' and didn't bother to hem it to the proper length. It's now a 'fancy dress' to go over top other skirts, etc. The other 'Aerith' accessories are to further prove the point that the dress is based on Aerith Gainsborough's generic look.

The pose is to show off the other 'white' accessorires I wanted to go with the outfit, and to show that the bottom of the dress is to be left open to show off any nice skirts underneath.
