Grue Ling is a new designer to SL who shows an amazing amount of promise. I've picked up his latest releases but he has several more in his new shop on Mystical Island.
Having worked with Grue on this particular dress, called Shadow Lace, I'm quite fond of it. :) The corset top is laced and the texture is HIGHLY detailed (as is all of Grue's work) and the lace skirt has many fluffy layers which make this dress a fantastic combination of sweet and sexy. The skirt also comes in two different sizes, so re-sizing the skirt may not be a huge hassle for you.

Grue's two latest releases as of this past week are Urban Casual and Urban Grunge. The tops are tintable, with a ribbed texture, and are available in all three layers: undershirt, shirt and jacket. The jeans come on the underwear and pants layers, which make them perfect for tucking into boots. While Grue uses some pre-made textures, all of his shading and folds are done by hand, as well as the pockets and waistband of the jeans in both sets, and are intricately detailed. I've included some closeup shots so you can see the effort he puts into his work. Urban Casual, above, is a "cleaner" version of the two, and I couldn't help but tint the top pink. Urban Grunge, below, is a ripped up, sexy mess. All of the rips and dirt were also done by hand. Grue's prices are VERY reasonable, especially considering not only the level of detail but all the layer options.Urban Casual:
