Dark Eden - Cephalopod Silken Bondage

Silks don't play much of a role in my wardrobe, but they are a recognizable part of SL. When I was hunting up boots at Dark Eden, I saw the Cephalopod Silken Bondage set and figured if I was going to have a silk, this would be it. So I bought it. I suppose if you looked at percentages, this might be a metal/silk - but the detailing on both is spectacular. The silks are available in Obsidian and Silver, the Cephalopod boots are a separate purchase, available in 8 colors - Bloodrage, Mistweave, Abyss, Midnight, Absynthe, Nocturne, Desire, Candykill for $150 per color or a fat pack of all 8 for $600.

The outfit is entirely prim and includes the loincloth in 2 sizes to minimize adjusting - in fact, it was the only thing that required adjusting at all for me, which was a pleasant surprise. One tip - before you start adjusting up and down trying to find the side portion of the hips, look closer because there isn't one. The front and back loincloth base is anchored with four spikes around the hips. The cuffs and boots as well as the full ensemble (wrist and ankle cuffs) are all Lockmeister Enabled.

As you can see, I tried a variety of combinations and poses and just about every piece of footwear in my inventory - truly the silks go better with either the boots or barefoot with just the cuffs, the boots can be worn with a variety of outfits. As always, Dark Eden colors are consistent across the store, so you can also mix in other styles. The full ensemble including the wrist and ankle cuffs is L$250, just the silks are L$200 - the collar (L$25) and cuffs (L$100) are available separately as well as part of the full outfit.
