New Release: "Ada" Black Gothic Steampunk Ensemble

Given my inclination towards black and gothic clothing, it was only fitting that I'd make the "Ada" in black. You may find it online at SLEx, at my main Caledon Regency shop, or the Dark Victorian Emporium in Caledon Tanglewood...

New Releases: "Ada" Steampunk/Victorian Ensemble

I thought I'd do something new for Fall. I've always enjoyed wearing uneven hemmed dresses with little breeches underneath. Good for adventure, yet still feminine at the same time. In that spirit, I am releasing "Ada", a steampunk-y Victorian outfit named after the first "computer" programmer herself! It comes with shirt with flexi lace cuffs, cropped vest, collared jacket with sculpted cuffs, sculpted hat, pants, belt, uneven hemmed skirt, brooch, gloves and knee-high stockings. You can find these online at SLEx or at my store in Caledon Regency...

A New Colorway...the 1879 Revue PeachBrown

New Releases: Put On Your Red Dress...

I was in a crimson mood and bring to you the "Godey Nightsong"......And the "Darkness Sanguine"

New Release: Godey Nightlit

I realized that I had not made any bustle dresses in white, so here one is! The beautiful Godey Nightlit is done in an airy white with light blue lace trim. Like the others, it is based upon an 1870s design and is perfect for a special day or a blushing bride. A versatile dress, if the collar and bustle is removed, it also works well for a medieval/fantasy look...

New Release: Zaghareet Ruby Dance Outfit

I love a dress that is beautiful to dance in! Here is the ruby version of the Zaghareet...

This ensemble is perfect for bellydancing and adds flair to any woman's wardrobe!

1925 McCalls's are the Cat's Meow!

A 1920s doll needs cute dresses just to go around town in, so I created the 1925 McCalls series, inspired by a period illustration. It comes with the top, skirt, glitchpants and two flexi sidepieces. The "Smoky" is sheer silver over black...

Calais

I love, love, love the works of French painter James Tissot and created "Calais", inspired by the painting below. It comes with a bodice, gloves, glitchpants, polonaise bustle with plaid skirt, matching underskirt, and feather stole. You may find it at my Regency and Steelhead shops, as well as my shops on the Aethernet...Tissot's paintings appeal to me because of his care in rendering the London society fashions of the time. His favorite muse and model was his love, the beautiful, red-headed divorcee Kathleen Newton, who died from consumption at the age of 27. It touched me that after her death, he put down his brushes and left London...

New "Worker" Pieces: "Peat" and "Invent"

Ladies, if some of you are like me, you can be found building or puttering around in your workshop. What's a lady with familiarity with building tools, metalworking or combustible materials to wear? The Worker "Invent" is for you. Based upon an 1880s female mining outfit, the "Invent" comes with leather-patched pants and an apron for wiping dirt and grease-stained hands on...Due to the popularity of the Worker Grey, I am releasing a dark brown version called "Peat". Look for them in my shops as of tonight!
