Description
Very belated entry for 's Redesign Contest for her OC Allegra's ghost form.I might as well make this quick; if it isn't obvious, I went crazy as usual. I'm not really expecting to win anything either.
So pretty much the outfit was inspired by some really frilly flower petals and was also made to look reminiscent of lilies. I decided to stick with varying shades of green for her outfit with some instances of brown due to the rope/leather belts around her waist and ankles to symbolize wood. I also decided to keep the mask because come on, masks are fun!
There's also the fact that I put her hair into a loose braid so that it wouldn't get in the way, and since Allegra is so connected with plants and flowers I decided to decorate her hair with daisies and add some more flowers as well. As you can see, I messed around with her hair colour and decided to go for a warm reddish-brown, a pale blonde, and a pale green to see how'd she look with them, kept her brown eyes, and I also gave her lips a more natural colour (except for the blonde one) as well.
Now I need to talk about the daisies and other flowers and why they are there. First off, can any of you guess what they all have in common? IF YOU GUESSED DEATHS AND FUNERALS THEN YOU ARE CORRECT~<3 So yeah, Lilies, (my attempt at a) Chrysanthemums and Daisies are commonly associated with death and funerals ("Pushing up Daisies"? Though the Daisies also mean "innocence" in the language of flowers) Except they are all usually white but for the sake of a decent colour scheme, I used a different colour for the Chrysanthemum. Now if you're wondering what the pink flower is, it's called the Cypress flower and in the Language of Flowers it means "mourning."
Whelp, I hope that at least =JustASillyFilly likes this.

You probably already know this but I am a huge sucker for detail so I think this is an amazing redesign! Everything is so flowy and pretty. And the fact that you used "death" flowers is genius!

I liked the blonde at first, but something was a little off with the colorscheme. I still love all three of them though! But the Brunette is my favorite.
