I finally have time to work on her. Ivy is my favorite female Soul Calibur character due to her imposingly elegant fighting-style. When Soul Calibur came out for the Sega Dreamcast, Ivy stood out because of her fighting-style in which she can transform her seemingly short sword into a segmented bladed whip thus increasing it's attack range.
As for her outfits, I think when she was first introduced, her default costume was alright, it was definitely there for fanservice as it was basically a dominatrix outfit with some armor pieces here and there. I am, however, a big fan of her alternate outfits, including the very masculine looking navy uniform, and especially the ultra-classy Tudor Rose themed silkwear she wore in Soul Calibur III, it was elegant and instead of making her look like a flat-out dominatrix, she looks like a noblewoman with a darker side; it was a little (compared to her 1P Costume) subtler but still very sexy. I based this costume on her Soul Calibur III outfit. Continuing with the Tudor Rose theme and adding some baroque elements like the silver vines that cup her breasts and entwine her arms.
