A russian fairy-taile with Tres Beau´s “Zhivago”

Once upon a time a merchant went to the market and asked his three daughters what presents they wanted. The two older daughters wanted new scarves,hats, dresses and jewelry, while the kind and modest daughter named Oralee asked him to bring the feather of Colja the Crow. The merchant eventually fulfilled all their wishes and in the room of the youngest daughter the feather magically turned into a handsome prince and they fell in love with each other.

He came to see her every night and flew out the window after each meeting. But once her jealous sisters saw him and stuck sharp knifes and thorns into the window frame. Oralee was asleep and did not hear anything. Colja hurt his wings, could not come to her room and had to fly far away to another kingdom. Oralee cried and decided to find him. Three kind old ladies helped her and gave her a silver plate, gold egg, gold needle and small spindle, but warned her not to sell these presents.

Oralee came to the palace of a princess where she heard that Colja lived. That princess wanted him to marry her. Oralee started to work at the palace in the day and played with the presents from the old ladies at night. The princess wanted to buy them, but Oralee refused to sell. Instead, she offered them as a present to the princess in exchange for seeing Colja at night. The sly Princess agreed, but put some sleep powder into his dinner. Oralee came to see Colja three times trying to wake him up. She succeeded only the third time when her tear fell on his cheek and burned him. They hugged and kissed each other and left the palace. They returned to her home town, forgave Oralee’s sisters and married.

The lived happily ever after, and while Oralee´s sisters had to beg for money and food on the street, Oralee had all the luxury she needed. Fine scarves, hats, dresses and jewelry – but the most important thing to her was her love to Colja. Every winter day in the afternoon, Oralee now goes out to feed the crows.

Kimmera Madison, owner and creator of “Tres Beau” did some awesome work on the outfit called “Zhivago”. The outfit reminds a lot of the elegant russian winter attires the women in russia would wear. The texture work is amazing, You can see each and every little shadow, highly detailed and matched perfectly to every piece of this complete outfit. The prim work is not less amazing, everything seems to be detailed. This wonderful outfit comes with a hat that reminds a lot of the traditional russian Ushanka hat, the vest with a matching shirt underneath and the stunning skirt with the belt.
