A white bow against a black double-breasted dress gives this Astolfo costume its central contrast. Three black hair bows carry the bow motif into the hairstyle. Astolfo is the cheerful Rider of Black from Fate/Apocrypha, known for his pink braid and cute black outfit. For this version, a pink braided wig is a suggested addition supplied by the wearer.
The Double-Breasted Dress and Its White Bow
The Astolfo Black Dress set contains the dress, a white bow and three black hair bows. Polyester is the listed material. The black double-breasted dress anchors the outfit, while the white bow provides a contrasting accent. Keep that combination central when planning a portrait of this version of Astolfo.
Astolfo Black Dress is the available style, with options beginning at XS and extending to 3XL. For a portrait focused on this version, frame the white bow and double-breasted front together. A closer crop could emphasize the contrast between the bow and dress, while a wider composition could include the black hair bows.
Three Black Hair Bows Alongside Astolfo's Pink Braid
The three black hair bows are supplied alongside the white bow, giving this set hair accessories as well as the dress accent. Their color connects them to the black dress. Use the separate hair-bow image to study the accessories, then consider how you would like to arrange them with a pink braid.
A pink braided wig follows the suggested pairing for this costume, but the wig itself is not supplied. As an optional arrangement, group the three black bows together; alternatively, space them along the hairstyle beside the braid. Compare those choices with the white bow visible in your portrait so you can consider the hair accessories and dress accent together.
Reading the Dress Photographs and Bow References
The available images cover two front views, a back view and a combined view of the front and back of Astolfo Black Dress. There is also a bow-detail image and a separate hair-bow image. Together, they provide references for the dress and the accessories supplied with this version. For an accessory photograph of your own, you could arrange the white bow beside the three black hair bows and pair it with a dress portrait.
Start with the front image to consider the black double-breasted design and white bow together, then compare the alternate front photograph. Use the combined front-and-back image when planning a pair of portraits from those angles. A separate rear portrait could feature your added pink braid against the black dress to echo Astolfo's familiar hairstyle.
Black Thigh-High Socks with the Astolfo Dress
Black thigh-high socks are the suggested partner for this dress, and stockings are an addition you provide. Shoes and props are not supplied with the dress and bows. For a wider portrait, include your chosen black socks alongside the double-breasted dress and white bow to show that suggested pairing in the same composition.
For photographs, you could try a gray backdrop with the black dress and white bow. Another option is a pink background that echoes your added braided wig. A cheerful expression suits Astolfo's character description, giving you a starting point for posing as the Rider of Black in this dress version.
