Lauren Dress and Velvet Skirt Set

These are recent creations from a selection of stretch velvet fabric with an exaggerated animal print.  The Lauren Dress has ruching (gathering) in the back for added sexiness.  The skirt has a comfortable elastic waistband and ruching detail on the sides.  The black cowl shown with the skirt is hand knit and the screen printed top is an original screen print form the Cold Night collection.

Moustache Skirts

Here are examples of the affectionately nicknamed "Moustache Skirts".  Super cute holiday skirts with a shaped high waistline and pockets.  Made from black taffeta with gold contrasting trim or silver taffeta with black contrasting trim.  Perfect for that busy party schedule.

5 Skirt Flush

This is  my first attempt at sewing 5 skirts at once.  Up until now I have conquered 3 at a time.  It seems to go equally as fast to do the larger set.  It's really satisfying to see all of them completed too!

Deer Print Dovetail Circle Skirt

Original screen printed deer skull on a full circle skirt with dovetail hem (longer in the back!).  Fully lined and crinolined!

Cold Night Fashion Show at Hamilton's Supercrawl 2013

Cold Night is a collection of clothing for a wistful walk on a winter's night.  It is a romantic collection of beautifully crafted corsets, skirts, dresses and jackets which work profoundly well together in any number of combinations.  Think a little of the coming winter months as you quicken your step in the brisk night air.  Bundle up with a cozy knit cowl or crop hooded jacket to ward off the chill.
