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...
And the "Stormy" is a lovely pale blue with swirling flowers that'll make you feel like the swell gal that you are!

Metal Roses for the Hair!

I was disappointed not to find a rose during the recent Caledon rose hunt, so I made some lovely metal ones instead!

They come in brass or riveted steel with green oxidized copper leaves and if you click on them, they will bloom! Just a little something to make a steampunky girl feel pretty!

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!

Feeling a Bit Darkly...

Personally, I love the color black. Of course, wearing black garnered the usual question of "Are you in mourning?" as I was once asked. I can be a bit trigger happy and replied, "Would you like me to be? I can arrange that, you know." I've been seen brooding around Caledon before as befits my being an officer in Dark Victoria and originally started created these black dresses for myself a few months ago because I had a hard time finding ones. "Lola Nuit", made with vintage black velvet, was inspired by a painting of one of my favorite Victorian scandalous women, Lola de Montez...And this one, "Darkness", is for the sultry woman with a dark side and a love of black satin...
