I'm here at ~~Ivalde~~ Village, home of my very favorite store in all of SL: Ivalde Antique and Vintage Clothes.
~~Ivalde~~ Village is a lovely Norwegian sim featuring Ivalde & Ask designs, Hairapy, Second Mirage jewlery, Elegance Hats, & Prim Seduction Shoes. In addition, there are waterfalls, a viking ship, and beautiful strolling areas to explore.

No one designer satisfies me so completely and so often. I have scores of items from Ivalde and a wish list a mile long. Designer Neferia Abel is truly a genius. The beauty of Ivalde (and Embla) clothes is in the detail. Take, for instance, the scalloped neckline of the vintage Audrey dress (above) and how it is mirrored in the hemline. It is beyond gorgeous. It sets this dress apart from countless others in SL with the same basic style. You can always tell an Ivalde design.
Speaking of unique, I present to you Ragna, my first dress from Ivalde. This dress is perfect. The delicate prim sleeves and wispy skirt make me smile every time I wear it. The muted green color is rich and indulgent. It is the ultimate sophisticated, feminine and lovely dress for day or evening.
Necklace and Bracelet: *BBB* Natural pearls; Shoes: Lassitude& Ennui Eva pumps in coal.
Flirty, feminine dresses are a specialty at Ivalde. Take the Siv floral sundress. I don't usually like large floral prints, so this dress was a great surprise. Perfect for a stroll through the garden or afternoon tea, the rose print on this dress is bold without being overbearing and the skirt flows gracefully with your movements.

Ivalde makes casual dresses and skirts as well. The vintage Margarita dress is so simple yet so sexy. This dress features a delicate floral pattern and intricate lace trim which adds sophistication and grace to this simple and easy dress. This piece is as casual as a pair of jeans, but so much more striking.
The vintage Trude outfit is another great casual look. The spaghetti strap dress has a short flirty prim skirt with floral detail, a cute white belt at the waist, and intricate ribbon detail around the neckline. This dress is great for day or evening and can be dressed up or down.
Neclace: Dhiny Things knotted bead necklace in mother of pearl. Bracelet: *BBB* natural pearls
But it doesn't stop there. In addition to the prim skirt, Trude also comes with stylish high-waisted striped sailor pants with a lower white belt for a more casual look. Trude also comes with an adorable white scallop-trimmed bolero that can be worn with either look. The addition of the bolero creates a beautiful diamond shaped neckline. all of the items are mix -and-match, and easily integrate with other pieces in your inventory.
Necklace: Miriel's Mirror, Mirror in black. Bracelet: Black & White butterfly bangles
In addition to a large selection of vintage items, Ivalde also has a great selection of rockabilly, Lolita, and Gothic styles for when you are feeling grim. I got the Brit outfit for free at the Ivalde Island's grand opening treasure hunt and I am sure glad i did. I would never have bought the outfit on my own since it so 'wild', but it is super cute. I wear it sometimes to live music shows and I even won a clothing contest for best goth outfit with it. Nice!! Brit features a tunic-style cap-sleeved shirt with an asymmetrical hem, black and white striped leggings with matching fingerless gloves. What I like about this outfit is that it has attitude without being gaudy or flamboyant like I find most goth stuff to be. It is really more No-Wave than Goth, but you can swing it whichever way you like.

Items at Ivalde range in price on average from $L250-400, which is standard for outfits and dresses. But the quality and style is superior to most in SL, so you are really getting a great deal.
There is really no reason not to visit Ivalde or window shop off-grid at the Ivalde website.
