Masquerade balls turn a covered face into part of the invitation: a guest can be conspicuous and mysterious at once. Demi Bourbon’s Passage of the Rose costume borrows that theatrical pleasure for Identity V’s Barmaid, pairing a pale blue rose gown with a silver rose mask. Her profession might suggest a scene behind a counter; this skin invites a different setting, with long gloves and a high-low skirt making the occasion feel decidedly dressed up.
A rose gown for the Barmaid
There are two useful ways to read this outfit. From several paces away, the pale blue gown and uneven skirt hem establish its shape. Closer in, the rose theme connects the headpiece and mask, giving a portrait something more particular than a formal dress alone.
The long gloves also change how a gesture reads. A hand raised near the face draws attention toward the mask; arms lowered beside the skirt leave more of the gown visible. Small movements can do the work here, without needing an elaborate prop or an invented scene from the game.
Seven pieces, with the mask among them
The Passage of the Rose Full Set costs $108.99 and includes a bodysuit, skirt, gloves, necklace, rose headpiece, mask and ring. Although the overall appearance is a gown, the bodysuit and skirt are separate garments. That distinction matters when checking fit.
A wig and shoes are excluded. A short blonde updo is a suitable direction for Demi’s hair, while silver heels would echo the mask’s color. Those are additions to plan around your own preferences; the rose headpiece, necklace and ring are already part of the purchase. There is no need to treat every small ornament as another shopping task.
The waist has two measurements
XS, XL, XXL and XXXL are currently orderable. S, M and L appear in the measurement chart but are unavailable, so the chart should not be read as a list of purchase options.
Compare the bodysuit and skirt separately with garments you own. For XL, the bodysuit waist is listed at 70–74 cm, while the skirt waist is 71–75 cm; the bodysuit bust is 84–88 cm. A suitable skirt measurement alone does not settle the fit of the upper garment.
Across the other orderable sizes, XS lists a bodysuit back length of 48 cm and a skirt length of 69 cm. XXL lists a bodysuit back length of 58 cm and a skirt length of 74 cm; XXXL lists 60 cm and 75 cm, respectively.
The measurements were taken flat by hand and may differ by 1–3 cm. Treat the suggested height as supporting information rather than the deciding number, particularly when comparing the bodysuit’s proportions with your own clothing.
Let the hem interrupt the portrait
Give the high-low skirt enough room in the frame to show its changing length. A tightly cropped upper-body image can feature the rose accessories, but it leaves out one of this costume’s defining choices. Photographed from slightly below waist level, a quarter turn with one gloved hand held away from the hip lets the high-low hem remain visible.
